Ok, the other day I'm at my MIL's house and she was asking me when we are doing IVF again, blah, blah, blah!!! We talked and then at the end she was telling me about some new place she heard of that garuntees you get pg one the 1st try (which I find highly unlikely, b/c most times it takes at least 3 times to get KU) anyways, I sat there and humored her. She told me I need to go to, haveababy.com immediatly I said, "OMG, here I was thinking I had to have sex to get pregnant, if I would have known about this website I would have done that years ago." The words that came out of my mouth AMAZED even me. See I'm normally the kind of person that comes up with a smart & witty comeback the day after the conversation. It was so great! Oh the look on my SIL's face was priceless, I don't think she knew what to say. My MIL got it and laughed, and so did I, it was so funny!! :p
I know people mean well when they offer a website or something they heard about that helps you get pg, but its really not that easy.(of course all of you know this) I wish it was easy, but its not, and those comments don't help. What does help is to squash their advice with a smartass coment. It made me feel so much better!!!!
I wish I could remember that line...when people do that to me my mind goes blank. I've never been a confrontational person, but these suggestions are getting old.
ReplyDeleteWay to be a smartass! I am a smartass in my mind, but not verbally. I go stupid.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Pure genius :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a HUGE smartass. Thank goodness your MIL got it! Is this the same SIL that's a smoking pg idiot? No wonder she didn't get it. Good job!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Good girl! I look at people & say "really? you think that after trying for this long there's any at home thing that I haven't heard of & tried? my next step is a dr!"
ReplyDeleteProud of you! I knew you has an inner smartass!
Good for you! That's the type of quick comments you need for people that say stuff like that!
ReplyDeleteI can't ever think of a comeback. I hate the advice that people try to give.
ReplyDeleteGood comeback Jenn! You got your point across but still had a laugh about it!
ReplyDeletep.s. thanks for changing your posting to pop up. It helped!
