I keep wishing I had started blogging sooner, but always assumed nobody would be interested in what I had to say - there are so many good IF blogs out there. I never realized what it does for the BLOGGER to write. *Hugs all around!*Kirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332331948060485380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225710736859771041.post-17400176721845968062011-02-25T17:54:54.976-07:002011-02-25T17:54:54.976-07:00We all seem to have this issue with our mothers.

My mom has always been like a best friend to me, but all my fertility problems have drivena wedge between us because she just doesn't understand and ends up saying hurtful things when trying to "fix" the situation. <br /><br />"are you sure you really want kids? They scream and cry, are you ready to be up all night with a crying baby, because you know Scott will need to sleep because he has to go to work" - Would that have stopped your mom from having you? I think not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225710736859771041.post-68555124417211371992011-02-25T12:02:28.219-07:002011-02-25T12:02:28.219-07:00Vent away indeed!

Sometimes she just says the stupidest things. I know she's trying to help, but really. So don't feel bad. No matter how close we are with our mothers, they're our mothers and it's their job to drive us a bit nuts sometimes ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225710736859771041.post-80474361535701590662011-02-25T11:43:43.983-07:002011-02-25T11:43:43.983-07:00I've used those links too, with family and fri...I've used those links too, with family and friends, with positive results. Sometimes they just really don't know what to say, and they really do think they're being helpful. For example, my mom always plays devils advocate... ALWAYS. When I was younger it was really hard to take, but I learned that it's her way of preparing me for possible bad news. She doesn't want to see me hurt so she tries to get me thinking in different directions. What she fails to realize is that I'm as stubborn as she is. :)<br /><br />Drive safely! It's wicked cold here again, and it's supposed to snow all weekend. I can't wait for spring!Mrs. Gamgeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351339333625358960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225710736859771041.post-77553454892407309112011-02-25T11:31:19.148-07:002011-02-25T11:31:19.148-07:00Thanks Josey :)

I can't imagine road tripping in this weather. I'm going to throw some ideas around with Rachel about taking some back roads vs I25.Kirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332331948060485380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225710736859771041.post-63461775974476004142011-02-25T10:55:49.449-07:002011-02-25T10:55:49.449-07:00Vent away - that's what blogs are for!

Resolve is an amazing resource - I sent a couple of those links to all of my family and close friends who knew we were struggling, and it helped SO MUCH. <br /><br />My parents left this morning to head to MN and took Hwy50/285 to Denver instead of I70, and they said Molas pass was AWfUL, barely made it. Drive safely to Denver tonight...Joshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423295019681051881noreply@blogger.com
