Agree!!!

I have soooo many friends on facebook who are constantly complaining about their kids! One in particular is supposed to be a good friend and knows something of what we have been going through. She has a 10 year old and is always celebrating when she is "kid free". And now...she is expecting no. 2. She is 36 weeks as she reminded everyone on Facebook today. She has about 4-5 posts everyday about the burden of being a parent or being pg. One time when she was complaining about her 10 yr old I wrote her a pm expressing how lucky she was and to cherish every moment with her DD. Alas, she didn't take the hint! She even invited me to her baby shower for baby no. 2. Again I messaged her saying I would not be able to make it due to the emotional turmoil I would be in and she still keeps up with her 4-5 posts /day!!!

As I said to OP the other day...people are so thoughtless! I don't understand it! Maybe it is because of what I have been through recently. Like Lila said, I think we do appreciate children more when it is a struggle. You realise how much of a blessing and miracle they really are. DH and I haven't even been able to have one Earthly baby yet! But we know how much of a blessing they will be when the miracle happens for us.

Hoping all our posts have helped you feel a little encouraged! I value everyones comments, vents, stories! Honestly, don't know what I would do if I didn't know there were others who were going through similar things and feeling such strong emotions.
