Eponine: Are your ILs related to mine somehow? Because I seriously could have written that. Mine just assume that I wanted to adopt because I was worried about my appearance. Uh, yeah, that's it. 'Cause I look like a supermodel now, let me tell ya.
The only difference is that after the second nasty comment from MIL, DH let everyone know in no uncertain terms that we'd made our decision, this was the way it was going to be, and we didn't care about their opinions, they could keep them to themselves. I was very proud, he never stands up to them.
Meghann: I get the adoption as second-best thing all the time. Last time it was actually during one of DD's tests. I was stressed to begin with and then this nurse starts talking about how it was so good of us to adopt and how it's too bad we couldn't have one of our own (I ignored this), and it's so fantastic of us that we're keeping DD even with all these problems.
Aaaaaand that my friends is where I lost it.
I smiled and said very nicely that we really had to keep her, since her warranty had expired and they wouldn't let us take her back for a healthier model. Then I asked for someone else to come in to assist us. NOW!
That's really the attitude I hate. I find the getting pregnant myth annoying or even amusing depending on my mood, but that whole it's too bad you had to adopt and now you got a lemon thing, oh I just go off.
Oh, and BTW, we didn't even know if DD had any issues at that point. She was just having tests done.
