This is dumb...

But I'm kinda bummed. I just found out my much younger cousin is pregnant and getting married... I guess it kinda stirs up a little of "if XH wasn't a cheating douche *I* would be the one having the first great grandchild" How silly is that? Oh well, I'll feel like this a little longer and it will go away. I'm MUCH better off and have an amazing man in my life so *** what could have been lol!

Re: This is dumb...

  • not silly at all.

    My sons teacher is pg with her third baby.  When she told we at the PT meeting I was very happy for her but as I left the building I was hit with loss thinking there will be no third baby for me.... and I kinda always wanted three.

    Still I have two wonderful boys so I can't complain, but I know what your feeling.  Its the loss of a future you thought you were to have.

  • I wouldn't call this dumb...I think most of us go through this at some point. I was actually getting married when I found out my younger brother knocked up his girlfriend (then wife, now STBXW). And part of why I was so upset is because my nephew is the first of the generation - none of our cousins had kids yet either - and he never sent pictures, or anything to the great grandparents. I feel like its kind of a huge responsibility when you have the first. But he was just too lazy - and worse I offered to do it for him, he just had to show up so I could take pictures and he couldn't be bothered.

    I still get teary when I hear my friends are pregnant. Not because I want more kids, but because I want the experience I didn't have with DS. Try as I might to make it as awesome as possible, it was sucky sometimes being pg alone.

  • Not dumb at all.  I was at my nephews bday party yesterday and saw him with his cousins on SILs side and realized that who knows how long it will be if he gets cousins from me ( if ever).  Sigh...

  • I think to top it all off I most likely have PCOS, BF is snipped, so if we ever decide to have kids it's going to be a long expensive process... I'm happy for my cousin though.
