1st off, let me start by saying that me and my mom don't get along very well. She says she tries, but she always says or does something hurtful to me. So...
She was saying a girl at her work is pg. She's young, has no bf, and lives at home. I said that the people who aren't trying seem to get pg, while those of us who want and are trying can't. She made some snide comment that she's glad it's her.....wth? Like she's glad it's not me. She made that same comment awhile back. WTH is wrong with people? I mean, she's my mother....not that she acts like it. I will never treat my daughter that way. I want whatever will make her happy. I don't know. It just really hurt my feelings. Here I've been trying for 8 months since the m/c and nothing. BTW when I had my m/c me and her weren't even talking. The day I started bleeding she called to start some stupid ###### and I tried to tell her what was going on with me and her quote was "I don't even care". Nice, huh? Anyway, enough vent. Thanks for listening.

Michelle, Im sorry your mom sucks in the emotional support department. I thought my mom was bad  I really dont know what to say. Its crappy you have to hear stuff like that from your mother, but know that you have women here who support you.

I'm really sorry that your mom said that. People who havent been through the journey that we all here have just dont know what the right thing to say is and sometimes they say the wrong things. Sucks the most that its your mom your going through this with. We're all here for you.

oh my goodness! That is so ridiculous!!! if loosing a child, and trying for 8 months to conceive another isn't enough for your plate... I'm so sorry that happened. There is no good excuse for that kind of behavior from your mother. She should be more supportive and loving.
Like the other girls said... I'm so glad that you are able to vent on here, and bring your worries to our table. It's so much easier when we carry our pain together.
Take care hun!!

I agree Melissa. It's nice to know someone out there knows exactly how you feel. You don't feel like you need to explain yourself. Thanks!!

WTH MICHELLE!!!! What's wrong with your mom?!?!?
Maybe she's "glad" it's the girl she's working with, because she thinks it will "teach her a lesson" so to speak. I was in that girl's spot when I got pregnant with Quinn, and let me tell you, there's nothing easy about knowing you're going to be a single parent living at home. It ate me up!
Anyway......as the other ladies have mentioned, your mom probably didn't suffer a loss like you did. I know my mother isn't the most supportive person when it comes to my m/c, but I know she understands, because she had one herself.
Anyway girl, I'm sorry you're going through this!!!! I wish we lived closer!!

I'm so sorry your mom isn't more supportive Michelle.  It's just uncalled for to say stuff like that.
I know you are a great mom to Haley though and will be a great mom to your future baby too.
And I know just what you mean about how those that try so hard can't get pg and those who don't want to, do.

Wow Michelle, that was a very mean comment.  I don't know why someone that is supposed to be the closest to you feels like she has to hurt you so much. We're here for you.
