Don’t ask couples when they are having kids.
I am 25 and my wife is 25. 2 years ago my wife had ovarian cancer and had to get her ovaries removed to get rid of the cancer and as such we will never be able to have our own biological kids.
My wife has still not emotionally recovered from this and constantly insists that I should be with someone that can give me children.
I have been in support of my wife since we got married and biology means little to me when there is thousands of kids desperate for parents.
What gets me is the fact when people ask my wife and I in a group when we plan on having kids in a jokey way.
My wife has to make a joke and put on a face so as not to sour the mood but that night she will be in tears all over again that she cannot have her own kids.
Seriously people. You have no idea what challenges couples face and its no ones business when people decide to have kids.
Whether you meant not to be offensive is not the point.
I just had to get that off my chest. We are facing a lot of emotional damage and inconsiderate people set the rails off sometimes.
Thank you for reading my story.
