Dear Society

You know that head tilt?

The one that people use when you tell them that you've been married for five years, and no, you still don't have any kids.

You might have gotten one because you dared to tell this Karen that you have two kids, and your doctor told you that it's dangerous for you to have more.She has 6 and can't imagine what life is like with such a small family.

Or maybe it's that look they give you, accompanied by a pitying glance, when you say that you only have one child...who is 6. Sigh...

And sometimes it even comes after you share with Goldy that you really want to have more kids, but you've had 2 chemical pregnancies and 3 IVF cycles, and you don't know how much more you can take before you break.

So here's a formal shoutout to all of society - PLEASE DON'T ASK.

You don't really want to know the answers. You're just making small talk.

And the small talk hurts.

You can't begin to understand the pain we carry inside on a daily basis.

So please don't ask.
