Post Mother's Day Dinner

Last night my sisters and I went to dinner with our mom, my older sister's MIL and a friend of my sisters and I. It was sort of a post Mother's Day/Goodbye dinner as my mom and younger sister were leaving today to fly home to AL. At dinner my younger sister tells our friend and sis' MIL that she gave our mom a gift no one else has for Mother's Day, a trip to the OB for an ultrasound viewing. Before they flew up here last week she posted online about it and I was like, well "Mom has seen ultrasounds of my empty uterus." I get your excited about her new baby, but did you really have to tag me in your post about how I never took our mom to an ultrasound of my yet to be born or conceived children? Than to talk about it at dinner like I have some child hidden away that people I see regularly questioned if I had a child they didn't know about.

On a happier note, I just had a phone interview that I think I rocked as I am moving on to the next step. I also have tickets for Friday night's Packer Tailgate Tour, and I will get to see/meet 3 current players. My FMIL got FH and I those since the tour stops in his hometown. We are looking at one, possibly 3 venues this weekend, just have to make some calls. I will enjoy a nice fruity cocktail today since my uterus is still empty and I can! Might have to take a pic of it and send to my sister.

Re: Post Mother's Day Dinner

  • It is true I am probably bring over sensitive. I think what pushed my buttons was her constantly saying that "sisters A, B, C and borther never took our mom to an ultrasound" vs her saying "sister A, sister B or brother took mom to an ultrasound". She was specifically calling me out on something I haven't done because I haven't been pregnant.

  • How do you pronounce Amya?



  • I can only think of one reason in which these comments merit being upset.  That being - are you unable to have a baby, not unwilling, not ....waiting to see if you find the right life partner, but literally, for medical reasons, unable?  If so, then it is very insensitive (IMHO) to bring this up and make a comparision between the 'can' and 'can not' family members.  As a woman who is medically unable to have a baby, I can say I am quite sensitive to remarks, questions, and so forth.  When people (over age 8 or so) ask me about this, it makes me sad.  When I first learned I was unable to have a baby, I was deeply depressed for about 7 months.
