One thing I've learned

One thing I have learned while attending the Hard Knox School of Infertility is to never ever say to someone "So, when are you going to have kids?" Even if a married couple seems like they've been wed for the appropriate period of time, they seem perfectly healthy, committed and family oriented, it's never OK to bring it up, because maybe they want nothing in the world more than to have children and can't. I used to have to leave the room to cry secretly in the bathroom every time my husband's family members brought it up. They thought they were being funny, talking about the pitter patter of little feet while they smiled and winked and nudged either he or I. It wasn't funny. Just one of the many hard lessons we've had in the past year.
