i'm dying here

MIL told ashley (sister) the reason I'm not pregnant is because I workout too much. And I didn't even tell my sister I want to have a baby. Such old school thinking. I'm not a crazy diet/exerciser. GAH!!! Exercise is healthy!!

Re: i'm dying here

  • Oh wow.  Were you there when she said that?
  • I didn't hear her say it, ashley told me when we got home from family dinner tonight. And she asked me if I was trying to get pregnant and I said not right now. Akward
  • Awkward in deed! Why dinner at the farm tonight and not Wednesday?

  • Dinner is normally tuesday nights. It was Wed last week b/c jake had just gotten home from'vacation'
  • Weird, your MIL doesn't really strike me as someone who would think that way.  And way to break the news to Ashley for you!

    B's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)
  • I haven't even talked to MIL about ttc. She knew that after NZ we were going t talk about it (ben and -) but I haven't mentioned it to her since. And that was like a year ago. It was just a weird comment that caught me off guard.
  • Do you think Ben has said anything to her about it?
  • I would be rather insulted by that. I would feel like shes trying to imply it would be my fault I'm not. Like you said, exercise is healthy and it doesnt stop pregnancy. Sometimes people dont think before they speak.

    This was my thought too.  Wonder why she would even be talking about it?  I would be upset.  Will you say something?

    I talked to Ben about it this morning and he said he hasn't talked to his mom about TTC at all.  before we went to NZ he said to his mom that we wanted to start having kids after NZ. I got on him about that because its nobody elses business and I didn't want to feel pressure if things didn't happen quickly.

     so her comment is completely random.  I won't say anything because I don't want to address TTC at all with her. its none of their business.

  • and yes the comment totally stresses me out because its like she's blaming me for me not being pregnant.

    And stress does not help when TTC.  I can relate about the pressure.  We announced a pregnancy early then m/c.  So everyone knew we were TTC.  I feel like every time we saw people they were expecting an announcement.  It was probably in my head, but its added pressure.
