I was adopted at birth as my mother had several miscarriages and was unable to carry to term. All good on this front, I even met my birth mother and have a great relationship with them and I see that side of the family as long lost cousins!
Separately, I have been diagnosed with an auto-immune disease which means getting pregnant leaves me open to many many risks (such as kidney failure) and I do not want to risk it. I also don't feel particularly maternal or desperate to give birth. If it gets 'too late', I want to adopt anyways.
Now comes to the moan. My very traditional (i.e women should stay home after kids) BIL who just had a baby cornered me at a family event to proceed to tell me how my fertility is going off a cliff, how I would feel maternal as soon as I gave birth, how I shouldn't be waiting, how his kid needs cousins. i tried to swerve him off course but he would not stop bleating on.
Note this is the brother who said my dh is being emasculated as I earn more than dh!
This is not the first time. He has continually asked my husband (his brother) and my dad (super insensitive history considered).
AIBU to be angry to the point of confronting him?
I am very independent and hate being seen as just a womb. argh!!!
