Re: Working women
I know where you’re coming from… but stick to your own plans and don’t cave under pressure.. those people are always the first to run or change sides when things get bad.
Me and my husband have been married for almost 5 years and still no kid so you can imagine the pressure and comments. It was impossible for me to have a child during residency because of the crazy hours and constantly being around sick patients and a lot of stress.
But it’s a decision between us, and as long as you understand that, then their opinions shouldn’t matter. Because in all honesty they aren’t going to come over and take care of that child, you are. SO just ignore them and tell them that. I think the biggest insult I received was when my bhabhi and BIL had their baby a few months ago and they were just married a little over a year… so aunties started making comments on my fertility. It’s rude and unwarranted but you can’t change people or control what comes out of their mouths.
But now I just ignore it and when you have your children, you’ll be in a better place so just smile and ignore.
