I was sitting with a few people at work, Id been asked if i wanted to join a club, which was one evening a week, but had said no, i cant. I explained im a lone parent, with noone to babysit weekdays, so, its just not possible for me. Someone said how she had been a lone parent for a while 20 odd years ago and knew what it was like, i agreed and we said it can be very hard.
Lady next to me, whos in her early 50's got up and said she couldnt listen to it anymore, i should think myself lucky, some people cant have children and i should not complain at all. And if i am sat on my own, trapped in my house in the evenings, then it could be worse, i could be married. Then she said she hadnt falled pregnant accidentally like teenage mothers. I did inform her that i was married and it was a planned baby, and that in far from a teenager. She then stropped off leaving me rather dumfounded and like i was horrible.
I dont think i did anything wrong, but i now feel awkward.
Verdict?
