Ungrateful?
Totally random, but here goes...
My next door neighbor had been trying to have a baby unsuccesfully for a few years. She even had a couple of miscarraiges, and had become very depressed because of her inability to conceive.
Last year we were talking, and I felt so bad for her. She started crying, and said something to the effect of "Do you think I'll EVER get pregnant?" It was just awful to see her go thru that.
So fast forward to the present....she finally got pregnant and just had a baby about 3 weeks ago. Anyway, I happen to be out in the backyard today and she was sitting outside as well. She called me over to see the baby, and we started talking....
So she says to me..."I would NEVER do it again" and starts complaining about how long and difficult the labor was. Then she tells me that she's trying to find a nanny b/c she wants to go back to school in the fall and won't have anyone to watch the baby...she just seemed really kind of annoyed with her new found motherhood.
I guess my point here is that...her comment just really kind of annoyed me. She wanted to have a baby so badly, and couldn't for so long...and now that she's been able to have one, she acts like it was such a bad experience for her...and now she's just dying to find somebody who will watch it while she goes off to school ;)
Like...WTF? I guess I just expected her to be over-joyed with the fact that she was finally able to have a baby...but now that she has one, she's less than thrilled.
Sorry this is so long...just ranting. :p
Any thoughts on this matter would be nice though:D
