Adoption as "Getting out of being pregnant."
I had a coworker make about his third comment about adoption being a way of "getting out of being pregnant."
Uh.
Now, I don't have fertility issues that I know of, but what a weird and potentially mean thing to say! I didn't think at ALL about pregnancy or "lack of" pregnancy when deciding to adopt!
I politely answered something about trading one set of issues (pregnancy) with another (adoption process) and that pregnancy or lack therof certainly wasn't a part of my decision to adopt.
If he says it again . . . and this is a guy I get along with well . . . I may have to "jokingly" ask him if he has some feelings of inferiority as a parent since he wasn't able to give birth to his biological children and was that why he keeps expressing his concern over me "missing out" on pregnancy.
How odd!
