[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is ok to skip baby showers given your situation. Send a note with a gift.

I bet you will eventually have a child, either thru IVF or adoption. Hang in there.[/quote]

Also wanted to add I was somewhat in your shoes - wanted marriage and baby - and couldn't attain marriage. Well, I could have, but the two boyfriends who wanted to marry me, I didn't want to marry them. And the two boyfriends I wanted to marry didn't want to marry me. And I did not want to have a child alone (not judging those who do).

And you know what? Now I am 48. And don't have kids or husband. And rent a 600 sq ft apartment. And I am FINE. I am your worst nightmare, and I was my own worst nightmare in my thirties, but it's not a nightmare. It's fine. I am generally happy.

So even if kids doesn't happen, you will be ok, I bet.

In the thirties everyone is newly getting married and buying houses and having kids and everything looks perfect. But then many of those facades start to crack in your forties and you realize, hmm, maybe being childless or not having a husband isn't so bad. Having kids is HARD. And a lot of work.

Please try to enjoy your life at least somewhat while you try to have a child.[/quote]
