This blog is entitled "our infertility journey". No fancy titles here. Unfortunately, when you are dealing with infertility life is a roller coaster ride...there are some peaks and valleys, but mostly you are just holding on for whatever comes next.
So many well-meaning people try to give us fertility-challenged folks some advice. Over the next few days I will be talking about the top things I have heard.
Today's advice to the childless:
"Well, with all the bad in the world today, it is probably better to NOT have children."
Seriously? Were you thinking, "oh wow...the world is so bad, we should not have kids" when you first learned that you were expecting? Most likely not. Yes, I realize that the world pretty much sucks right now. I realize that there is poverty, war, disease, financial crisis, etc. All of those things do not decrease my desire to have a child. I know you are just trying to make me feel better, but really, that is not something I want to hear. I would rather you just say nothing. Tell me that you are praying for us. Tell me that you can't imagine my pain. Tell me that you will be there for me.
