Kids just don’t really have much of a clue about things, but it seems the whole extended family is pretty ignorant to our plight (except my mom). Just now my cousin says to me, “Oh you remember ****? She’s expecting in May.” This is someone I haven’t seen in about 3 or 4 years, am not related to, was only aquainted with. I reply with, “Ahhh, that’s neat.” When really what I want to do is say. “That SUCKS. I don’t want to know that. I don’t want to know that the entire world is pregnant except for me. But thanks for pointing it out for me.”

Thankfully she’s only 13, and I can’t expect her to really understand how much it hurts.
