my friend's m-i-l said, "Well, I had a grandson, for a few minutes. It didn't take."
That is one of the most horrible things I have ever read.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Always Anti-fascist!
But what comfort is it to get pregnant, if you're not bearing anything(anyone?) This is reminding me too much of the bioethics debates in the disability rights movement, but also reminds me I was probably never meant to breed anything but discontent. although I might have liked the opportunity, but I'm 36 now, you know? And without so much as a coffee date.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Did someone punch her in the face? (I can't even quote what she said.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
"Well, I had a grandson, for a few minutes. It didn't take."
Tell me this woman is still alive so I can go there where she is and fucking kill her. Srsly. Smite my ass. This bitch deserves a flat-out face punch and then some.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Yeah, it really is. It's visceral and extremely personal from the standpoint of everyone experiences it differently, so to pull a compare and contrast and "My misery sucks bigger donkey balls than your misery," is monumentally unfair to everyone involved.
Yeah, but honestly, that's asking for logical reactions, which you're never going to get when the starting point is that personal. And I think PI and SI people should keep themselves separated for just that reason.

Our wings are not tired.
Seriously, y'all, I had the same reaction. My friend couldn't believe her ears, and had to ask someone else who was present if that's really what had been said. And here's the kicker: her m-i-l lost a baby due to SIDS.

"It didn't take". Possibly the most evil sentence ever spoken.

I think PI and SI people should keep themselves separated for just that reason.
One of my Ya-Ya's was diagnosed with PI and it was hard to talk to her about my inability to conceive because all I got was, "Well you have a baby." So, I stopped talking about it with her, as much for my sake as well as hers. I knew how much she was hurting and didn't want to add to it by being "smug mommy. She would occasionally ask, and I would tell her what was going on, but I never brought it up unless she or someone else did.
