When I started blogging, it was hard for me to find many infertility blogs that I could relate to and which were current (as opposed to abandoned or Mommy blogs). I managed to find a couple dozen great ones, but because of this challenge, I'm finding tons more that I never would have found any other way...as I had looked. I hope people checking out this blog for the first time will check out the blogs I follow, too. There is this amazing network of women out there, and we all have something to offer other IF'ers. In the meantime, enjoy the challenge.

I am lucky that no one has ever said this to me--the closest remark was when my mother said maybe I was "meant to" continue my volunteer work as a CASA rather than have a child of my own--because I can't even imagine how badly it would hurt me.<br /><br />I absolutely think that anyone who says this is not only very insensitive but should look at the flip side of this logic, which you mention in your post: G-d means for any woman who can have a child to have one. This world is full of many clear (and sad) examples of fertile women who should never have been parents, for a variety of reasons.<br /><br />Good post.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872513410814268769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264397379561559145.post-46981676249683899642011-04-25T14:27:22.991-04:002011-04-25T14:27:22.991-04:00Beautiful!

But it just galls me how people think that rudeness and judgement is appropriate under the guise of religious belief. My big problem is people (mostly my sister) implying that my IF is MY fault because I won't give up, or I'm not "relaxed" enough or not having enough sex. <br />Infertility has definitely made me a better parent than I would have been otherwise. More informed, more patient and more tolerant. I treasure her, and her emotional well-being is just as important as physical, which is not the case in many families. Every time I see a friend yank their kid up by an arm to spank them makes me want to cry. How can they not treasure that little miracle? How can they not strive to find a better alternative? I've never had to hit or threaten my child to ensure obedience. I treat her with respect and loving discipline. Would you spank your spouse for exasperating you? I didn't work NEARLY as hard to get HIM!Ludicrous Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808367296847075643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264397379561559145.post-68071732863028437702011-04-25T11:38:51.945-04:002011-04-25T11:38:51.945-04:00Great post!
