Ladies,

I need to rant. I'm so upset.

I took an IVF receipt to Medicare this morning, for a rebate. The clerk was snooty, she was obviously having a bad day. But after she'd finished my transaction, she picked up my Medicare card and said "you should put DH on your card, so he can join you on the Safety Net." I said "yeah, I will get around to that." She then said, "And put The Baby on it too."

Now, she doesn't know I'm in the middle of the TWW, or that referring to The Baby is quite insensitive, but WTF? Is it not enough to have my Mum expecting babies from me, now Medicare expects it as well? Why do people assume that IVF has worked, or will work? I was in tears afterwards. Of course, I know she didn't mean anything by it, but hearing her refer to The Baby really threw me.

Okay, rant over. I'll go back to the TWW and be ultra-sensitive for another week.
