AAARRRGGGHHH Families!!

[nicjay]

Far out, I just cannot believe mine and DH's families form after this miscarriage!

I won't even get into what my mother said to me here, because it was so stupid and insensitive, but I just had a phone call from my MIL and it went like this. MIL: How are you going? Me: Not too bad thanks (bit of a white lie there but anyway...) MIL: I was just ringing to see what you would like for Christmas. Me: Sorry I've got no idea what I would like, its actually the last thing on my mind at the moment. MIL: What's wrong? Me: I've just had a miscarriage, I'm really not thinking about Christmas yet or what I would like for it.

There was a bit more after this but it was just her getting all uncomfortable and not knowing what to say. Suffice it to say she got off the phone as fast as possible.

Is she kidding or what??!! What's wrong? Do I really have to spell it out for you!! Does she really think that 6 weeks later that I have just forgotten about it and gotten on with my life like nothing happened? Fair dinkum, how about a bit of acknowledgement of what I've been through and a bit of sympathy! It's driving me nuts how they all just pretend that nothing has happened

Sorry, ranty over now just had to get this latest one off my chest.
