Am I being overly sensitive to this issue or was this mom to be out of line?
I have lost two daughters, one by miscarriage, the other due to a heart defect in the womb (they saved her twin brother, my son) So, I have been pregnant twice, and lost two children and have one. I love my son, I do, but I am always jealous of people with daughters.
I went to a baby shower today, of a woman who has two daughters already, one just prior to my first miscarriage, and the second shortly before my surviving son was born.
She is having a third daughter. I was at her shower today, and all she did was complain about how she has wanted a boy and that should would send this girl back. She kept looking at my son while she did this. I was starting to get upset, and then she walked up to me and said "You’re so lucky that you got your boy first try"
I was so angry I gathered up my things and I left right there. I couldn’t believe she had said that. She KNEW that I had had two losses, daughters.
When I left, I took my shower gift with me, (It was in my bag still). She called a few minutes ago asking about where her baby gift was. (WHO does THAT?)
I told her that I just don’t want to be her friend anymore,and to just leave me alone. She called me over sensitive and selfish and said I should be happy for her third daughter.
I said "Why? You aren’t! And I DIDN’T get my son on the first try, and you know it" She then called me some names, and posted things on facebook.
Was I truly being oversensitive to the issue or was she extremely out of line?
I really got the feeling that she was rubbing this third baby girl in my face.
