As the Holidays Die

Now I should point out that I have a MASSIVE family, when we make a dinner reservation when we know that some can’t show up we still have 45 seats reserved, and that’s just my father’s (smaller) side of the family. But the difficult part that I have is that there are only two couples that my wife and I can talk with or have anything in common with. It’s a good thing they actually show up to both sides of our family gatherings. But they aren’t the issue, it’s that there are simply too many people, too many young children, and too many people trying to find out if we have medical issues since we’ve been married for over 2 years and still haven’t had children….any of you who have followed my Blog know that we don’t want children…but my family insists that’s just an excuse for “other issues” (I even received a reccomendation to a fertility clinic from someone last year)….sorry but I’ve seen my cousin….and her 8 children…or my other cousin and his 7…there's nothing physically wrong, we just don’t want kids right now,...that’s not saying an accident might not happen some day, and if it does, it does. But we aren’t going out of our way to have kids, and they won’t accept that.

 

I know we aren’t the only people with these issues(except for the fertility clinic thing....that was disturbing), and I know we will have to suck it up and do the family crap…but that doesn’t mean I have to like it, or that I won’t contract some horrible, 24 hour illness the day before.

 

sorry, that one sort-of went all over the place...
