That if one is unable to conceive that they before frozen in time, doomed to forever live our youth again and again? <br /><br />You states beautifully what would certainly be missed when one is unable to conceive. Frankly, I think much can be learned if people took a moment to actually consider what life actually would be like for those living as a family of two instead of idolizing the supposed "fountain of youth" lifestyle. <br /><br />And for what it's worth, I'd totally go to a firework display and/or Disneyland with you.

I cert...These kinds of comments are so frustrating. I certainly think we miss things, and not just in relation to our lost babies. I'm still in my 20s and have a good chance of still having a child somehow, but I haven't had any luck yet and I find some little things make me really miss not having a child. Like when I see a pregnant woman buying baby stuff. Or a van with the little stick family stuck to the back showing off their perfect children. Or toys scattered in the yard. When I realize I don't have that and I may never have that, I miss it. <br /><br />Maybe he should have meant "People who never wanted children, don't miss anything" but even then, that's not fair. I have a girlfriend who has never wanted kids and is very content with her childless status, and every now and again she'll see something and say "sometimes I wonder if I've made a mistake". <br /><br />So I think his statement was out there no matter what context he meant it in. He's trying to throw a blanket statement over a group of people and we all know that never works!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-33021346276552727192014-01-31T10:26:00.215+13:002014-01-31T10:26:00.215+13:00Maybe people won't miss anything related to pa...Maybe people won't miss anything related to parenting/children if they're childfree, but for people like us...that just goes to show how invisible our losses are.<br /><br />Agree with Klara that you wrote so beautifully and I applaud you for having emailed the radio station. :-) And HUGS to you too!Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-5973921924636109972014-01-31T10:03:09.619+13:002014-01-31T10:03:09.619+13:00My dear Mali.
