I have a sister who has been trying for ages to have children and has now accepted that it's not going to happen. However, she was telling me that she finds it incredibly hurtful when people gets very upset when she reads magazine interviews with celebs who've just had babies and who come out with remarks like 'I feel like my life was so pointless until I became a mother' or 'My career was so important to me before. Now I realise that something like that only matters before you have kids' or 'my life is complete now'. I had never really thought about it until she told me this, but now I'm really aware of it when reading magazines with the latest celebrity new mum. Should they be a bit more aware that people like my sis might be reading these interviews and made to feel like they're a second rate citizen, or is she being over sensitive?
