We had a close relative describe it as "fucking around with Nature" - he wasn't saying that in an aggro way, just sort of like it was a fact of life.OvaGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12150362175853549015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14915129.post-1137459268808820662006-01-17T11:54:00.000+11:002006-01-17T11:54:00.000+11:00Families and IF are a messy little combination.

And it's so frustrating to feel like you're taking the blame for crap. <BR/>Good for you for not being uncompromising - you're right there are no medals. You can only do so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14915129.post-1137450842045803342006-01-17T09:34:00.000+11:002006-01-17T09:34:00.000+11:00Family and IF is not easy.

She did get some practice when a neighbour confided all her worries and sorrow regarding her IF daughter to my mother. <BR/><BR/>In the truly secular society I live in, I can just look at anyone who mentions "God" , "plan" and "children" in one sentence like they've lost their marbles. It's just one of the perks. :-)<BR/><BR/>On being uncompromising, good for you. <BR/>Right now, you need to take care of yourself. The last thing you need is other people dragging you down.Lut C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03893061829410958985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14915129.post-1137441827857873622006-01-17T07:03:00.000+11:002006-01-17T07:03:00.000+11:00It's funny how our families relate to our experien...It's funny how our families relate to our experiences with IF, isn't it...<BR/><BR/>My mother is also prone to, "if it's meant to be...". Which makes me want to just SCREAM. Especially since she is STILL mourning the fact that she was never able to bear any of her own children. GAH!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
