Subject: [cherubs2] Whoa!! Put Foot In Mouth Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2002 20:13:06 EDT From: doyleew@aol.com Reply-To: cherubs2@yahoogroups.com To: cherubs2@yahoogroups.com Whoa! For those that think that I'm angry with those that are upset by us pregos - I'm not!!!! I know exactly how some of you feel - from I never want to go through that again and I won't have another. (Cecilia was going to be the one and the LAST - so I had so much guilt about TTC again.) Then when we were trying - but not trying - odd one there - I felt bad that I kept getting my period and others out there were having babes or seemed to get pregnant quicker than I! But I wasn't angry with them - but more myself. My point about all this is us separating the pregos (I'm trying to be funny here) from those that have svelte bods right now - trust me compared to mine right now your a super model type! Anyway separating us out like that - it creates more work for Dawn T, and can't we just "get along," if your post is about your pregnancy or TTC - the subject line should have it in it! There is a separate LISTSERV for those grieving after Termination - and I hate that some can't understand that is a loss and to accept everyone's choices for the medical care the parents chose or didn't choose! I hate the fact that there are now so many listservs and I feel that I may miss out on learning something - expanding my own mind. I don't like this. (Sorry Dawn T!) I also think we should all be sensitive to those that can't have more children - or have chosen not to have any more children for now - or forever. I like the idea of the names on the site with the stars but also feel like we are adults here. I like what my grandmother used to say - and I have been trying to use it every day, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." Not to say that we can't vent about SP or something that we are at a loss of how to handle or our sadness - you see? Just except that some of us are more religious than others, some of us believe in hocus pocus, some of us believe in everything! Some of us will raise our children to be MBA's some will have children that become beach bums. As long as they are happy. (Trick is to make sure to have one that will earn enough to take care of you in old age and will take care of you and the others can be bums!) And yes, I'm just as guilty of some of the problems as others here - I am learning tolerance and patience here! I just can't handle more listserves! UGH!
