WTF Wednesday
Re: WTF Wednesday
I can understand the questions about how many people live in your house and stuff. But, my WTF was about the rest of the questions because it just screamed possible robbery waiting to happen if it fell in the right hands.
Questions included: Does your household have the internet? What kind of electronics? What time do you go to work? What time does your spouse work?
I will be lighting a candle tonight for all of the Oct 12 angel babies. It's not fair that anyone should have to lose a baby, and all of you are in my thoughts today. I'm sorry for your losses.
Thank you for your kind words. It felt good to put it out there because I haven't been the same for the last 3 months, and I hope that maybe those around me that didn't know will understand why a little more. But more than anything it was because I hate that no one talks about it, like @brainybrunette said. It only forces some women into a darker hole if they feel alone and people don't want to talk or listen. It's an uncomfortable topic, but that is really sad that people won't bear the uncomfortable feeling to support those when the stat is 1 in 4.....
@catwine H and I just quit filling it in since it let us skip questions on the online forms. Worst case scenario, one of us gets to vent to a census worker about how invasive this seemed. I was not aware the number of gadgets I owned or how many times each of us have been married reflected the "community".
My mom had a loss right before she was pregnant with me. When we told MIL when the loss happened, her first question was did your mother ever have one and insinuated that my mom's loss was why we had a loss. I tried to explain that it's not genetic and very common, but it fell on deaf ears. People really don't understand and I think that's why so many people who have losses don't talk about it.
WTF H - we talked about me going with my parents to see my mamaw. Even though we go to NC 5-6 times a year, I rarely see her because we are busy with your family. Now you call and arrange for me to meet you mom and kids to see the baby without running it by me. I'm already terrified of taking lo out of our nest for a week, now I have to hope that Saturday is a good day for her to drive an hour to see your mom who already saw her. Otherwise I'm the bad guy. Great communication baby.
