[quote=Anonymous]I wish there WERE some accepted rules, but there really aren't.

Yes, money, politics and religion. That's what our grandmothers would have said, right? But those lines are completely blurred, or erased altogether, and now we're throwing in new issues, like fertility.

I know several women who will tell their bus driver and Comcast operator that they're going through IVF, or that their child was conceived via ART. And I know another woman for whom it's a deep dark secret that she and her husband needed a little help conceiving. Unfortunately, she told me all the details while she was going through it, but did not tell me that it was a secret, so I mentioned it to a mutual friend, who apparently wasn't privy to the same info, when it finally took. Awkward. Luckily, I have awesome understanding friends, and she wasn't really angry, but I felt so bad betraying her secret... that I didn't know was secret. Again, see above, re: women who tell their bus driver about their IVF.

So I'm going to agree with PP: don't talk about other people's problems. Period. Even if you are two of the three peas in a pod and you're sure that the third pea, though absent, knows everything and more.  :oops: [/quote]
