Fertile bitches that have no idea about the gift they have been given still piss me off. You were probably able to provide some comfort to that poor girl so feel good about that.hope4joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285061355445227627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995232394874598825.post-84748348276922638062011-11-18T06:13:39.028-09:002011-11-18T06:13:39.028-09:00I was the opposite of you when I was younger: In h...I was the opposite of you when I was younger: In high school I was a total non-joiner, but then when I got to college and met all the other awesome former non-joiners, I ponied up the activity/group buffet: RA, judicial board, orientation leader, academic groups, a secret society, etc. It had everything to do with finding others who had similar views and feelings as I did...finally. <br /><br />Which has been my experience with the moms group as well. I joined one as a SAHM needing some interaction, and I was super skeptical and reserved, but once I opened up a little I found that 2 other moms had gone through IF/losses, and the others who hadn't were generally pretty respectful and listened and seemed to care, even if they didn't quite get it. Now I'm in a new city, trying on a new moms group for size, and I'm feeling less open again, almost ambivalent even...just like high school.Trinityhttp://andtherewerethree.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995232394874598825.post-65324891719310607042011-11-17T09:09:48.375-09:002011-11-17T09:09:48.375-09:00I know that bonding over the shitty stuff isnt the...I know that bonding over the shitty stuff isnt the way you want to make friends, but I actually find that it really is a good way to weed out people who you can count on when things get hard. So yay for your new friend and boo for the Duggar-in-training. I think it's very impressive that you are able to find people in a new place every time you PCS. Seriously, it's a real skill.Irrational Exuberabcehttp://somuchforsimpleandeasy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995232394874598825.post-4305409931517668632011-11-17T05:10:30.758-09:002011-11-17T05:10:30.758-09:00I find that infertility and my style of parenting ...I find that infertility and my style of parenting (breastfeeding, stay at home mom, not leaving my son with babysitters) stops me from bonding with a lot of other moms out there, too. It's hard. I especially find that the infertility thing is always an undercurrent when I'm around other moms. They can take procreation for granted, and I can't, and it still bothers me.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379005476557830314noreply@blogger.com
