At the moment I'm feeling very sad at the total lack of children in my life. My family is tiny and there are no children in it. My DH had a ten year old brother, but we rarely see him. None of my friends have children. In fact I've only picked a baby up twice in my life at the age of 38
The total lack of any contact with children is really grieving me. However I then wonder if being around children actually makes it harder? The pregnancy announcements, seeing others close to you have what you most desire? From that perspective am I lucky to not have had to deal with that situation?
Would be really interested to hear other people's thoughts/experiences on the subject.
