I don't want to be judgemental
A couple close to me (who have a 1.5 year old) just announced that they are going to start "trying" again.
*sigh* Super.
Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled for them, I know they are the best parents they know how to be, but I'm sooo JEALOUS. Big capital letters are necessary for this kinda jealous. I'm feel like such a judgemental jerk when I think about their circumstances- neither have jobs, or the prospect of one. There are so many other things that makes me want to scream- "What the eff are you thinking!?"
But, then I think about my own situation. I'm not working. Our health insurance is about $600 a month and it has a $5,000 deductible. We are not exactly in the 'right place' financially to bring a baby into this world. But we are so ready. Ready to take on the struggles. All of them.
Do my feelings hold any validity (other than the fact that feelings are valid!)? There are a lot of things in our situation that are unique. But, that's every couple's claim.
I guess I'll just mind my own business.
