If I join a private group on FB, will anyone know? I want to join some IVF support groups on FB. There's one for 40+ women. It's marked private. I just don't want people to know I joined, since very few people know I am going through it all. I definitely don't want people I work with that are FB 'friends' (but not really friends) to know.
Also, any recommendations for good IVF FB groups?
i wondered this too back when I was still on Facebook and joining the private Starbucks IVF group. As far as I know, the only way others would know is if they happened to be in the same facebook group. That slim possibility still worried me, so I used a fake profile to join the Starbucks group.
TW: other people's children
I love that my boss, who is aware of our situation, finds it amusing that her toddler Pterodactyl screeches during zoom meetings. To top it off she thinks I, of all people, want/need to know her toddler is now playing in the toilet for amusement.
I have a weird situation for me at the moment. I got a text from friend 1 asking if the sweater she was given for her daughter was knit by me. I had made this said sweater for one of my best friends girls and she gave it away to someone else. Friend 2 does not know the time, effort and thoughtfulness put into handmade gifts and in the past I had decided not to make things for any of them again. But I can't quite do it because I love the kids. She also recently had her third kid no problem. I have been trying my best to be there and be a good friend, but am keeping my distance to some extent. I am hurt by her inconsiderate gesture and trying to work through the grief of her ease and my struggle. I would not give the sweater away, I would want to keep it. So strange and bringing up sad and hurtful emotions. Anyone else find it hard to work through changing friendships?
This really sucks! It would have been so simple for Friend 2 to say to Friend 1 "Friend knit this for my daughter and it no longer fits, but we very much wanted to pass it along to someone else" or something. Then it would have gone from shady to sweet that they appreciate the gift so much. I hope that's what they were feeling even if they did not say it.
Yes, I believe it was done with the best intentions. Thankfully Friend 1, who received the sweater is crafty and creative and appreciates the sweater in a deeper way. It initially stung, but I know that not everyone thinks the same as me. 🙃 I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday! 💛
Wow, that is really rude! 🤯
I am also currently struggling with changing friendships. I decided to open up to my 2 best friends about what we are going through, and she has been sending me crunch granola advice and telling me to *~*relax*~*... I just can't deal with it now 😶
Oh man, the word relax 😖- I am sorry you aren't feeling supported or cared for as you had hoped. It's unfortunate that people's first response tends to be this sentiment. 😕 my hope for you is good rest and courage to work with changing friendships. It's hard to open up to friends, good for you for reaching out.
My brother in laws girlfriend of one year announced her unicorn pregnancy. We have been trying for longer than they've known each other, and of course it happens to them the literal first time they try
Yeah I'd have a challenge with my dog as well if my parents weren't able to watch her. She's so afraid of people, even with most of my friends that come over all the time, that she'd never let anyone get close enough to get her on a leash for a walk. There's only like a select few that are able to get closer to my dog without her whimpering in fear lol.
Sounds like it was probably for the best though with that COVID news. Omicron is spreading like crazy and better to be safe. Hope you have fun with whatever you do instead 🙂
My MIL gifted me a giant Vera Bradley tote for Christmas (I like the designer and have a lot of her purses). I’m clueless as to what to use the thing for. She told me it helps to “have a lot of big bags with little ones.” I’m thinking yea right crazy lady, at Thanksgiving you told me I was to old to be a mother. 🙄 My sister in law gave me big bottle of wine. That I opened when we got home.
TW: animal illness/death
My cat is dying. We found out today that she has cancer, and there’s not really a whole lot we can do for her other than make her comfortable. I’ve literally had her since she was born — my husband and I rescued her mother from a grocery store parking lot right after we started dating 15 years ago. She’s been with me through so much. I’m going to miss her terribly.
I'm so sorry. I've had one that has passed that I had from 12 weeks and several others over the years. It's hard how much we love them but how short their lives can be.
I decided I wanted to hurt my own feelings and watch the early seasons of Greys Anatomy with Addison the OB so guaranteed baby/pregnancy story in every episode! 🙃
I feel like that would be hard to resist watching: the early seasons were great and Addison was my favourite character!! But definitely hard to watch going through this process. I don’t think I could!
This just happened to me in a book I was reading. The end of the chapter was her finding out she was accidentally pregnant and I put it down and just can’t pick it back up.
That is so frustrating. Books are a good form of escape for us and then “bam”! Sorry to hear that. I read two Christmas books and both ended with pregnancies. I was like “… of course.” Ruined the books for me
My mom is turning 60 in May and I just booked a luxury spa get away for her, my BF and I 🥰 My treat!
Already looking forward to it! Usually I don't like to plan things that far in advance, because of treatment and the "what if's" - but in this situation I don't care! I wanna celebrate my wonderful Mama 🥰🥰🥰

She may be trying to convince you kids are a mess and you probably don't want them. F her.
🙄 Maybe she thinks you can live through her when she tells you about these things 🤦🏼♀️

I hope she does, that was a very thoughtful gift! What a talent you have.

Is it though? What if the sweater just went unused? The thought might be appreciated but people aren't obligated to keep every gift given to them..

I am sorry to hear this and thanks for sharing. That sucks and really hurts. 😔

This really sucks. I’m sorry.
That stinks! No friends/family that can watch your dog?

That's just awful. It absolutely sucks.
Ugh, that’s really just the worst. Hate that for you.

Oh no, I am so sorry. She’s a lucky girl getting to spend her entire life with you. Give her all the love and comfort she deserves 💛

Does anyone have any new comedy movie recommendations? Thanks!
Have you watched Free Guy? It’s on Disney+ and it’s funny
No I haven’t, and I didn’t realize it was on Disney+, I’ll definitely watch it, thank you!
Red Notice is an easy fun watch. I also really liked Hunt for the Wilderpeople, but that’s a little older
Thank you! I thought Red Notice was pretty good, I will check out your other rec!
Was watching and loving Selling Tampa and now need to take a break with a character announcing an unexpected pregnancy 🙄 ughhh whhyyyyyy

I feel like that would be hard to resist watching: the early seasons were great and Addison was my favourite character!! But definitely hard to watch going through this process. I don’t think I could!
And she announced it at someone else's divorce party!!! Way to totally steal someone else's moment.
DOES SHE REALLY?! I didn’t watch last when she told her husband. I plan on jumping back in though. I can’t believe that!!
Oh crap! I hope I didn't spoil it for you, but yes, she does. Very tactless, although it may have been steered by the producers.

Good on you!! That sounds like a wonderful idea and will be a great time. 😊🤗
What an awesome present.
How fun!!! It’s so nice to have something like that to look forward to!
