It started almost immediately when my son turned 2...does anyone else still get this?
So far, I've tried being nice, being vague, saying "oh, I hope sometime soon", and changing the subject.
What hurts most is that I'd like another child...either by blood or adoption. I can't go around telling that to ever random well-meaning person who asks, though.
A couple of weeks ago, I finally had it. MIL, who has been pressuring us to stay in Idaho, asked, and I explained, in detail, that because of surgery, blood tests, medication, shots, etc, my son was a $10,000 baby. The only reason we'd been able to have him was because of really excellent insurance in CA. With the job DH has now, we'd have to spend several thousand dollars out of pocket before insurance really kicked in, and then we'd have a limit. The blood thinners I'd need to get on to avoid another miscarriage were somewhere around $60 per shot alone,so she could either have us stay here, or have another grandchild, take her pick.
It must have gotten around, because no one's said a peep to me about it since.
