Just wonderful...

So I bought the books you ladies recommended to me "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" and "Two Is Enough." The TCYF book came in today, and I sent H a text letting him know. The first letter of that text was "M" and somehow "Mom" got put into the "Send to" also.

She sent me a text back saying, "Didn't know you were interested." So I called her right away and let her know that no, I'm not trying to have a kid and I'm just exploring my options to go off of bcp. She didn't believe me and immediately got all excited, thinking that I (and I quote) "came to my senses and got aboard the baby train." I kept saying no over and over, but then she got off the phone to run tell my dad. 

Argh! So now I'm having uncomfortable conversations about yes/no babies with my H AND my parents think we're "trying." 

*buries head in sand and hopes this all blows over before Christmas*

  • The book is just as useful for pregnancy avoidance as it is achievement.  Sorry your mom's gotten pushy/over excited about it :/

    Yes

    I'm so sorry. That really sucks. I don't know why anyone else makes your uterus their business. 

    There was a funny quote I heard from a comic a while back, talking about getting pressure to produce grandkids

    "it's ueter-us, not uter-you"  (as in her mom needed to butt out because the decision was her and her H's not her moms, I totally butchered the joke, but you get the point)

  • yikes, that does not sound like a fun situation! sorry!

  • Oh, man. Well, the only thing you can do now is deny, deny, deny. But of course you can't undo the damage in your mom's mind. She'll now forever think you're trying to have a baby. At least she's supportive (if overly so!). When my mom found out I had my IUD taken out, she promptly told me what a terrible mother I'd make.

    Aw hun! That's horrible! I'm sure you're a really wonderful mom. I was actually surprised my mom was as happy as she is, because this is the same woman who said it's a good thing I don't plan on having kids because I'll be the one to take care of her and my dad, along with their debt.
