[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Infertility is not an excuse to check out. They should have been involved with their niece's/nephews. [/quote] I agree completely. It's one thing to have a hard time with pregnancy announcements, even to skip baby showers and the like. It's entirely another to completely reject and make zero effort to spend time around your nieces and nephews once they're actually here - real people (close family members!) who are growing and changing as individuals. They're no longer just amorphous "babies" that you don't have yourself at that point.. Having a hard time reacting joyfully to another pregnant announcement or a hard time being around someone when they're pregnant is one thing; avoiding your own nieces and nephews is another. That's absolutely offensive and wrong on their parts, and not excused by infertility. [/quote] Spoken like someone who has never had to struggle. [/quote] NP here and I totally agree with the poster commenting about being in their niece and nephews' lives. And yes, I have infertility issues (IUI, IVF, 3 years of trying), I do not have a child and I absolutely adore my young nephews and have since day one.[/quote] Good for you. Others are different and it's silly you would think everyone should act as you did.[/quoteP PP here, I wasn't clear enough in my response but I was describing my situation as a counter argument to the poster who wrote "spoken like someone who never has to struggle with infertility" because yes it is silly to think everyone should act like me during a friend's pregnancy. Not ever seeing the child for a year I cannot understand.[/quote] PP here, I wasn't clear enough in my response but I was describing my situation as a counter argument to the poster who wrote "spoken like someone who never has to struggle with infertility" because yes it is silly to think everyone should act like me during a friend's pregnancy.
