Things like this bug me a little bit, perhaps some "not all" are only trying to keep a strong face.
On the outside they smile and joke but they feel they are dying on the inside.
It may just be a way of accepting not being able to have children.
I remember when my doctor told me I had to have a hysterectomy and would not be able to have children. My previous appointments were full of "as long as you have a uterus we will get you pregnant."
When she told me I had to have a hysterectomy, it felt as if someone had completely ripped my lungs out. My stomach started lurching.
But, I made jokes. I smiled and laughed saying how maybe now with that idea out the window my husband might travel the world with me and we could be nomads.
In my head I was screaming, tears burning at the back of my eyes. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
I held it together, until I got to the car. Then I lost it, I spent a long while slumped over the seat of the jeep crying and hyperventilating.
The day we were scheduling my surgery I wasn't as many smiles and she sneered at me "You have been hemming and hawing about having kids any how". I wanted to claw her eyes out, I always made jokes about it because I knew the very strong possibility was there I would not have children.
I avoided the baby sections of stores like the plague walking around the whole store just to get from point A to point B. I still do avoid it but not like I used too. It is a thing I have come to accept even though it still hurts.
I tell people I don't like kids all the time. I sometimes even scream EWWWWWW when they touch me. It's my way of coping.
To be honest, it probably didn't help I had just lost my mom right before this along with other problems we had, for me it was a dark year.
For those of you who have kids when you are talking to someone about them not having kids and how they can just be a foster parent, or adopt. Just, dont, don't do it or say it.
You have had your children, the person you are talking to will not have the chance to experience the 9 months of bonding, the mood swings and all other good and bad of feeling a child growing inside them.
Adoption is extremely expensive, so is childbirth. But, with adoption you have to pay upfront and if you don't have the funds you don't get a kid. I am pretty sure they don't cork up pregnant women so they can't give birth or repossess the kid if you can't pay your hospital bill up front.
As for being foster parents imagine raising your child for a short time knowing there is a strong possibility that child will be torn from your family and you will not see them again.
Personally I can see that being easier for those who have children, they have the joy of raising theirs so they can look at it that the short period of time they showed that child a lot of love and improved their lives.
For me, that would leave another dark hole. I know how I get attached to friends kids or some of my ex's. When they are gone from your life it hurts like hell.
So if I make a comment about not having kids and how great it is, that's my mouth trying to protect my heart. Because my heart is screaming "Why!"
It sad that in a world so hateful people can have massive amounts of children they do not care about some doing unnatural hateful things to those children. People that want children can't have them have to sit back and watch these things. This isn't saying it doesn't affect parents who love their children. I am just saying it is just another slap in the face for those who can't.
Okay, that was my yearly go crazy rant. I try to keep them at a minimum. I think I was just in a mood and needed a break down.
