I've had practically the same interactions with my MIL. She is a nut. She has no empathy whatsoever. To her a miscarriage "wasn't meant to be", she doesn't think of it as her grandchild. It makes my blood boil. Yet if someone had an abortion it's a completely different story. I call that being a hypocrite. (Don't get me wrong, I'm pro-choice, but if you're against abortion you should have a little more regard for a baby that was dearly wanted but died regardless of how. And while I'm on this tangent... I think God is the biggest abortionist out there. But I don't see people picketing churches with miscarriage and still birth statistics on their signs.)<br /><br />I read something funny the other day and thought you might enjoy it: "Religion is like a penis. It's fine to have one. It's fine to be proud of it. But please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around. And PLEASE don't try to shove it down my throat."Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338130051182407335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736556300599496415.post-8715375227311100272010-10-20T20:21:05.163-05:002010-10-20T20:21:05.163-05:00Since we've been dealing with IF I've star...Since we've been dealing with IF I've started wondering why people can't just admit they don't know what to say and have to spout stupid crap that they think is comforting (even though it usually isn't). Then I hope I didn't inadvertently hurt too many of my friends/family saying something dumb over the years.<br /><br />Oh, and if you ever do decide to punch one of those well intentioned old ladies in the face....I think you'd be totally justified.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04338292962811629980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736556300599496415.post-81576205996380428912010-10-20T18:12:27.677-05:002010-10-20T18:12:27.677-05:00Crap, I just realised that you dog's name was ...Crap, I just realised that you dog's name was Lulu.

I've also gone from believer (although that was when I was very young) to agnostic (in college and beyond) and now to atheist. I just can't believe that any god would be such a dick to me and the rest of the infertiles I know. My first husband changed his mind and didn't want kids anymore, so I went through a fairly rough patch when we divorced. Then I met my husband who wanted kids, but we had to go through infertility and a failed IVF. So if that was "the plan" for me, I think it sucks. So the infertility stuff pushed me over into the atheist category. <br /><br />I was primarily agnostic before because of most organized religions' views on homosexuality. I'm just not a fan of anyone who thinks that loving (and marrying) someone of the same sex is a sin. Or the ones that want to save or cure someone of being gay. <br /><br />Wow, your comment about religion really got me going!<br /><br />Anyway, I think you are awesome, and I would totally attend any camp you set up.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07318827219058451652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736556300599496415.post-22363151293857465972010-10-19T16:44:42.476-05:002010-10-19T16:44:42.476-05:00This IF journey has definitely shaken my faith. I...This IF journey has definitely shaken my faith. I was always more spiritual than religious, but I don't know what I believe anymore. I can't see a master plan behind our IF struggles either. And yet, I do believe some things, like our adoption of our son, were meant to be. So yeah...I'm torn. Oh and also, I wish I lost weight when I'm depressed--I eat my misery instead, so it's been all gain during our 4+ years of TTC.
