Little upset but it's quite trivial

[imkeepingeverythingcrossed]

It's not a massive thing but I'm feeling a little hurt today. When I went on leave from work 2 months ago (our beautiful little one was placed with us) I received nothing not even a goodluck let alone a card. Then my best friend who works for same place had a little boy this weekend. She's received cards flowers gifts all sorts. Which then made me think my hubby took hers out to wet the baby's head and I've thrown baby showers for all my friends yet some of ours haven't even said congratulations and it just seems like our news isn't as important as everyone else's! I feel quite bad as I know my hubby was so excited for his friends to take him out and it never happened. Was it like this for everyone else. I think I'm just feeling a little meh today.

Roomba , I'm sorry to hear about your experiences with your son, I hope he is well now . It must have been very hurtful to be " punished " for having a poorly baby .

Ah, he's almost 10 now and growing like a weed! I was very depressed for a long time after he was born, but that feels like a long time ago now. My relationship with DM is still very strained though. It was just something I noticed, particularly after DS2 was born - as he wasn't prem, it was summer so we got outdoors and out and about a lot more, and it was a big contrast how people behaved towards us. I can see how adopters can go through it x10, especially when people feel like they don't know what to say so don't say anything (the worst thing you can do, I'd rather someone said something insensitive but well meaning than they avoided me!).

Roomba - we have twin lives - DS (also 9 going on 10) was premmie - 26 weeks and is flourishing.
