Infertility Porn, just say no.

I hereby pledge to remove myself from situations in which I may be tempted to continue my association with the nefarious infertility industry, AKA, Infertility Porn. This stuff is not good for my mental health.

I hereby promise not to frequent parenting fora, in particular, the AC sections of said parenting fora. I will not read about people who spent 2 years TTC, then needed IVF to conceive, then popped out a natural bebe 5 minutes after this one, on the grounds that my head might explode. Seems not all infertilities are equal on this planet.

I will not read about celebrity fertiles who manage to pop out 5 spawn within 6 years in their early 40s. (that would be you, Jane Kennedy) How? When? Why? And in fact, what the fucking fuck????

I will no longer make faux-happy social mention of my childlessness, as if it were some wholly planned choice all along. "Yes, we cunningly planned our barrenness in order to travel, drink and otherwise enjoy our lives." Puke.

I will think about converting my blog to the movie-review blog I've always wanted to write.

Giddy-up!
