Funny you mention this ....I'm going through some irrational anger/saddness right now. It's not directed to M's birthmom....but I am sure it is because of my status as an amom that I'm bothered so much....
My girlfriend (another amom) told me yesterday that her daughter (16) called her up and very nonchalantly threw out that she thinks she is pregnant. My friend is going through what I would call a midlife crisis (left her hubby so she could pursue her married boss) and her kids are absolutely falling apart. She has basically just walked away from her kids - aside from very basic things. We actually think she is not pregnant (I haven't talked to her today to find out for sure) as she is VERY much a drama queen (she has been to the hospital soooo many times for fake injuries) and I am sure this is just her crying out for help/love/attention. The thing is tho - even if she isn't this time - I KNOW there will be a "next time" and she WILL eventually be pregnant.
My problem is....I am just SO ANGRY right now. First that someone can be so flippant about becoming a mother. And second that some 16 year old ON A WHIM can just go out and get pregnant and I have to jump through EVERY hoop known to man (it seems) in order to build my family.
Oh and to top it off I found out today we no longer have a satellite worker for my agency in my city - so I'll probably have to pay mileage for out next STUPID update. Yeah 500 plus dollars just for a worker to come out here and hear us say that nothing has changed in the last year.
But a 16 year old girl can just decide "Hey I know what'll get my mom's attention - I'll have a baby"
Sorry. I'm angry at my friend for being a pathetic mom and I'm angry at my inability to control this part of my life....
ok vent over. I'm sorry if this is offensive .. I really needed to get this out today.
