Talking to the inlaws
Jul 4, 2001 Ancient Archives, Infertility
Happy 4th of July!
We just had the inlaws over for a pancake breakfast. I used to have some (ahem) issues with them that really had more to do with being an over-protective, new mother than with anything they were doing. I’m more than a little ashamed of it now. I think they’ve forgiven me.
I like them a lot and I’m pretty sure they like me but I think I overwhelm them. I tend to run my mouth non-stop and they’re a pretty quiet family. Of course almost every family is quieter than mine.
We haven’t told them that we’re seeing a fertility doctor but they know we’ve been trying for awhile. I also let it slip that I’m in therapy. That probably didn’t really surprise them; they’re probably relieved actually. They probably got in the car, turned to each other and said, “Well, at least she’s getting some help!”
