    Since this probably belongs more here than it does in the FFC post......

    Dear FIL and SMIL,

    It wasn't cool when you posted on FB yesterday, "We're going to be grandparents on June 7th!"  Just to get a rise out of people, then respond with a comment ".......to grandpuppies!  Sophie and Buck are expecting puppies on June 7th!"  After people told them, "congratulations to you both, Brij, and Mr. Brij."  Which included Mr. Brij being tagged in a congratulatory post that went on his news feed.
    F U!  F*ck You!  I don't give 2 sh*ts that you "forgot" that was our EDD. I don't care that you didn't MEAN to hurt us with that post.  That it was just a cute way of saying that your furkids were having puppies.  You know our struggles, you know the loss of our child, how could you have possibly thought that would be a "cute" thing to post to your Facebook?

    Also, while you're at it, please tell us to relax some more and to "put it in God's hands" to get us pregnant.  Even though you don't go to church and don't believe in God.  If you were to ask your son or DIL how they are doing, then you would know that we are no longer trying because of the mental struggles this has brought.  But because that isn't about YOU, then you will never ask and will never know that we have stopped trying to giving you grandkids.

    Sincerely,

    That uptight woman your son married who can't give you grand babies so you're going to have to settle for grand puppies on June 7th, 2014!

    ***I feel like this letter would end with the slamming of a door.  So imagine me walking out slamming the door behind me.****
    That is fucking awful. I am so sorry that they would be that inconsiderate.

  • Dear house lookers,
    Please become house buyers. Please?

    - house owners hoping to become house sellers

    Dear cat lady next door,

    Please encourage your associates to purchase our house! I know the rest of the neighborhood would be upset, but that has never stopped you from doing anything before, and wouldn't you love another house to fill with cats? You could easily double the population- which has to be above 15 since that is how many I have seen lounging on our cars/lawn/stoop/sidewalk/driveway all at once!

    Please?
    -the neighbors you haven't spoken to, but also haven't sued, so we must be on the good list?

    Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"

  • Fortunately/unfortunately we have a wonderful relationship outside of the IF/Loss.  So I don't want to say all of this to them and ruin the relationship we do have.  This is where I really wish that we never would have told them about our pregnancy.  Then the IF stuff wouldn't have been brought up, and they could have posted that and I would've told myself that they don't know how much it hurts and how un-funny it is to us.

    Instead they know everything and don't filter out what things could hurt us before they say/post them.

  • I'm sorry Brij. That was unbelievably crappy of them.

    I could hold you for a million years
    To make you feel my love.
  • @brij2006‌ - I'm so sorry! I can't believe that they would do that and say those things. You aren't alone with the IL issues but that definitely is worse than my recent IL story.

    Dear realtor,

    Thank you for becoming bffs with the selling agent and not fighting for us. We are now probably losing house #2 with you (the first on closing day, this one in the contract phase) because you don't listen to us. I'm tired of your 'advice' and you telling us to just 'sweeten' our offer a little bit more. Unless you're paying our bills every month, stfu!

    Sincerely,

    Girl who is setting up a meeting with the broker and finding a new realtor (buying a house is for the birds)
  • Omg brij. Even if they forgot the date, it is still so shitty. Obviously they knew people would make that assumption. I would be incredibly hurt and angry. :(:(:(
