First off I want to say I am very sorry if I offended anyone with my last post. That was not my intention at all. I was frustrated with my cousin's post, but more so with her in general. I did not mean for it to sound as though all teenage mom's are bad. I know that is not the case and I realize that if you have never been down the IF road you are less likely to be gentle with what you say on the subject. Please accept my sincere apology and know that I would never intentionally hurt any of you.
You will all be glad to know I took the high road and decided not to reply! I can almost guarantee she does not know my situation and seeing as we are not that close I thought it best to not divulge it all on fb.
I don't think you offended anyone. I think most of us know a young, naive fertile & can relate.
ReplyDeleteFor example, there's this family in our cong who have 2 adorable children already. Not only did she never have to think about getting pg, but she's back to a size zero & you'd never guess she'd ever been pg just from looking at her. So last year, her husband thought it would be "funny" to post that they were pg again on FB, just to "see how fast the rumor would spread". He retracted it & said it was all a joke, but I haven't been able to look at them the same since. Really?!?! You have kids & you're still that immature???
So, IDK where I'm going with that. Anyway, I understand & am glad you took the high route. Your cousin will grow up eventually.
BTW- in answer to your question, it's congenitive adrenal hyperplasia.
I agree with Steph, I don't think it was offensive in the least..just one of those times when you were annoyed by a young, naive pregnant family member...we all have those. Shoot, I have them all the time.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't offend me and I was 19 when I had my first child and married at the age of 20.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't used birth control for over a year and a half before I got pregnant.
But, that isn't something I like to "announce."
No worries. She IS young and is probably making a huge mistake like I did, although I wouldn't give up my son for anything.
I had a horrible divorce with an abusive husband, and I won the house in court and so I worked and supported me and my son with no child support.
I just don't announce anything on FB. I know what it is like on the other end; and I know how that post made you feel. Been there and done that!! IF made me feel so shameful.
No I don't think you offended anyone. It was what you were feeling at the time and it is very understandable. And glad you took the higher road because I don't think it would have done any good other wise.
ReplyDeleteNo offense here! This is your blog, Jen and you have every right to vent here. We all support you, so no need to apologize.
ReplyDeleteI commend you for staying strong and not replying!!
