I haven't been here in a long time but felt the need to share this one.My pregnant co-worker was saying how she can't wait to send Christmas cards next year when she has her baby and I said something like how I am so bad about sending cards and the she proceded to say " well its different for you because you don't have kids".How is that different?It doesn't mean I can't compose a card with a photo of myself,DH and our adorable dog just because I don't have kids.I said that too but in a nicer tone.

What an odd thing for her to lash out about. Pictures or no pictures, kids or no kids I didn't realize there was a monopoly on holiday card. Strange. Glad you spoke up for yourself!
I will admit...Christmas is totally different for us because we don't have kids: I can have peppermint bark for breakfast and don't have to worry that I'm being a bad influence; our shopping didn't include a single battery; the house will still be clean on Christmas morning; after our guests leave on Christmas Day, DH and I can settle down for naked movie night, if we want. LOL
Yeah sometimes when I hear stuff like that(you don't have kids),I almost feel like saying.whats the matter?Jealous?Although I think shes seems pretty happy..
I've never personally had someone say that sort of thing to me but I'd like to think that if they did I would say in a sort of dreamy tone, with a stange, happy smile, "That's right. I don't. Jeez I'm lucky."
