DH and I have been very lucky in the fertility stakes and I have conceived two babies easily in the past two years and carried both to term.
A couple of other family members have unfortunately experienced miscarriages and BIL and his wife have recently conceived after 2+ years of infertility and treatment. We are obviously thrilled for them. They've always been very supportive and involved with our kids and we hope to return the favour.
But another member of DH's family has made several comments over Christmas about how great it is that BIL and his wife are the ones having a baby 'and not DH and Dorothea again'. Also how extra 'precious' and 'loved' this new baby will be.
We only have 2! And I am really irritated by the insinuation that we have jumped the queue by having a second while they were trying unsuccessfully or that our babies are less precious because they were easily conceived.
Didn't say anything obviously but can't see the need for these divisive comments.

To be irritated by the suggestion that their impending ivf baby is 'more precious'?
