Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I'm right there with you! I have " the feeling " all the time. I was in a mom's group and just had to quite because I was tired of hearing about their " problems " , like oh how hard it is to pack for a 1 year old to go overnight somewhere, Please. Does that child need a hospital pole, extension cord just in case, extra syringes, medication, a fridge, etc, etc. things you can't buy at the store if you forget? Does she need a therapist cuz she's got post-traumatic stress from all the surgeries she's had and she gets nervous about EVERYTHING? I always have this conversation in my head, never out loud of course, except with you guys! Sorry, I guess I needed to vent too!

I just came back from lunch with two girlfriends, and the problems they were talking about just seemed so trivial to what I am dealing with right now. But I couldn't really talk about it to them, because they just wouldn't understand. Not that they are bad friends, they just don't get it.
