[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a PP.  I think it's rude of your coworkers to have these conversations, much less in front of you.  I mean, aren't they aware of your life circumstances?  And, moreover, are their own lives so limited that they can only imagine one way of living?  So strange for adults to be so closed-minded.  Haven't they lived their lives and realized that things work out differently sometimes than one has planned?  If not in this particular situation for them (kids) but in others (career, education, etc.)?  [/quote]

I don't know, I think this can be a benign, shooting-the-shit type of conversation where no one means to hurt any feelings.  Also, they might not know OP's age, much less her husband or child's age.

I will say, having gone through years of infertility myself and ending up an older (and more humbled) parent than I ever imagined, I personally would never join in this conversation.  But a lot of people just don't get it.  I am not thankful in any way for my infertility journey, but I will say that it made me a more empathetic, open-minded, grateful, and sensitive person.  You truly never know all the factors at play in anyone's life choices.  [/quote]
