Hey everyone,
Just needing to vent on a thoughtless comment made recently by my MIL.

Context - we were discussing her birth control methods when she was married (and had 4 kids). She used the Billings method, and maintained that it was unreliable. I mentioned that it was pretty much the method that we are using at the moment, and she looked at me and said "Can you mother two?".

I mean, GRRRR! What a way to throw the confidence

We are not currently TTC, but I have gradually convinced myself (after a difficult baby and flirtation with PND) that I could maybe, possibly, perhaps, start considering another baby.

So anyway, now I am back on BCP cos i don't want to risk being a "bad mother" to two poor defenseless bubs.

Ok, that is not the main reason I am back on the pill, but her voice keeps reverberating through my mind. Does she think I am a bad mother? Does she think I couldn't handle another baby? Am I that incompetent???
