Conversation II

Seriously, I'm sitting here in my living room CRYING the day before my birthday because some people just don't get it. Back story: My parents are divorced. They don't really talk. They don't get along. It's been over 15 years.

A few minutes ago, my mom calls me to tell me she ran into my dad at the grocery store and she thinks she said something she wasn't supposed to. Great...Somehow they got started talking about me and the "baby situation." One of them said, "What do you think about A?" and the other said, "I wish she'd have a baby." This was said really for me, not because of grandparent status.

Dad: I wish she'd just calm down and something would happen.
Mom: Well, um...based off the percentages they've told me, I don't think they'll be able to naturally have a baby.
Dad looks at her like she doesn't know what she's talking about.
Mom: Well, hopefully something will happen this summer.
Dad: Summer?
Mom: Yes, that's when they're trying again.

So now my mother told my dad something that's not true and he's probably upset with me. I have told BOTH of them as well as everyone else, that we'll be trying something in the fall...not summer.

It also frustrates me that my dad thinks I should just "stay calm and something would happen." I don't know how many ways to get through to him and my in-laws that I WILL NOT BE GETTING PREGNANT NATURALLY IN THIS LIFETIME!!! Let go of the hope, stop telling me to stay calm and pray about it-IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, not that way!

Now I have a headache and tears streaming down my face, I can't get ahold of DH, I called and vented to my sister who was in the middle of Old Navy so she couldn't do much and the dogs are driving me bananas barking outside. Proof again that one phone call can change your mood.
