Mdm Khoo - Cheer up! We mustnt be bothered by people who dont care about our feelings in the first place.
I used to think that whether I have baby or not is not important. And I never feel that I am childless. I think I am childFREE - I have all the freedom to do late nights, lazy weekends, long holidays etc. I always told relatives and friends that I wasnt ready and I didnt want to try at all.
But admittedly, as age catches up, I began subjecting myself to pressure as well:
1) We got married in late 07, 2 of hb's cousins got married in mid and late 08 respectively. 1 of them had a gal last Dec, the other a boy in Feb this year. I am the oldest one among the ladies. Now even my hb's little nieces ask - Why you dont want to have baby yet? Their babies so cute, we also want a cousin. My MIL has never asked about this issue. She related these questions from relatives and nieces to me, added that she hopes I wont get offended. I smiled weakly. I feel that some may think that I cannot conceive, not I dont want to conceive.
2)My younger sis is getting married this month. My mum keeps telling me that it is time to have a kid, she can help me look after. I wonder if she is already predicting that she will feel lonely as 2 of her daughters have left the house. She has already asked me if there is anything wrong with me.
But bobian leh. TTC needs time and luck. And the more stressed we get, the lesser chance to hit jackpot. So we must chin up and cont to jiayou! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
