With our first we were new to the church (actually church hopping) so we didn't get very much of that at all. I think maybe people thought we were newlyweds.<br /><br />With our second, occasionally someone would ask when we were having another. But we only tried for a year and a half.<br /><br />I guess that is one of the benefits of being painfully shy, people think you are stand-off-ish and are less likely to ask painful questions.Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16095540983427609774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006031035787773344.post-67299915235546879732009-08-14T07:03:49.366-05:002009-08-14T07:03:49.366-05:00Oooh...number 19 makes me so angry.

A couple we thought were good friends (who were totally aware of our situation) sent us a Christmas card covered with photos of their new baby, along with the ever-so-thoughtfully-chosen note, "Children are a gift from God." I bawled when I opened it. (Christmas - hard anyway, you know?) C actually called them about it, and told them that it is not okay to send stuff like that to us. I wish people would think before they do stupid things!!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834180918581781729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006031035787773344.post-62246847837165410752009-08-13T23:38:24.822-05:002009-08-13T23:38:24.822-05:00One of the reasons we left the Young Married Adult...One of the reasons we left the Young Married Adult Sunday School department in favor of a "mixed" group at our church was because of the constant uncomfortableness and pressure of not having any kids. We got tired of the questions and comments. I agree, #15 is the worst. (Not that there's anything wrong with adoption...quite the contrary...someone who desperately wants to get pregnant just doesn't want to hear that.)<br /><br />Anyway, moving to a different department ended up being a HUGE blessing, so good came out of it!Joanna J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15161077456068547776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006031035787773344.post-78341772588356672152009-08-13T18:03:57.882-05:002009-08-13T18:03:57.882-05:00Ya know...while this strikes an obvious nerve for ...Ya know...while this strikes an obvious nerve for those struggling with TTC, if you are childless PERIOD, you're a target. <br /><br />Which makes me think, man, if/when God decides to bless us with a child, I PRAY I never take my child for granted. Questions like this make me feel that people do just that; like a child is a given. If you are married, you'll have one. NOT!!! I'm sure people don't mean to be INCONSIDERATE, but sometimes it seems like they certainly don't try to be CONSIDERATE.JLIhttp://paperphan.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006031035787773344.post-22371351621131363402009-08-13T14:08:27.003-05:002009-08-13T14:08:27.003-05:00I thankfully was able to get "lost" at m...I thankfully was able to get "lost" at my giant church before BB, so I was able to miss a lot of those hurts. Some of them, though, I do remember and it is still painful to think about those days.
