Keep That Opinion to Yourself!

I was confronted by a friends mother recently. She thought it appropriate to tell me what a terrible mistake she thinks I made and how dreadfully sad it was for the poor baby! Well I was lost for words, not really my thing to be speechless, but I was.

Let me make it quite clear - I didn't ask for her opinion, nor does her opinion matter in the slightest to me but I was quite taken aback that she felt the need to share it with me.

The assumption that this is a decision I have made recklessly without forethought and research was still insulting.

Perhaps if she had bothered to ask me how I came to be in this position, or how I came to make this decisions and the processes you have to go through to get to where I'm at then I could have more respect for her unsolicited opinion - as it was she chose to declare it terrible, unkind and sad to me and other friends without asking me a single question about it - to which I would have liked to say - "Ah fuck you lady!"

But my good manners prevailed and I met with her for a coffee and spent an hour justifying myself instead.

As for poor baby - to be loved, to have been so well planned and considered and to be so very precious is all any baby can hope for.

Sonny -  I won't tell you lies about how you came to be and you (much like many other baby's) may not have a Daddy yet - but I'll work on finding a really good one I promise xx
