I know I'm probably going to get shot down in flames here but interested to see if anyone else gets annoyed by this.
Its people that comment on being blessed when they get pregnant. We feel blessed. We're so blessed to be expecting.... And so on... And I'm talking about non religious people here.
My issue is what this says to those unlucky people who are unsuccessfully trying, can't have kids whatever. You aren't good enough to be "blessed", you must be a bad person, you did something wrong. What makes you blessed but not me? Is it just slightly insensitive? Or arrogant? Or one of those phrases people say without really thinking what they are saying because they hear others say it?
Curious to hear what you think. Obviously I'm not a big fan of the term.
