"at least you only have one"

Walking Jadon into school today I got to talking to another parent about the cost of school supplies, and everything. When he says "at least you only have one' OMG, took my breath away, I gained my composure as said "No I should have been waling in Two kids today, my daughter should have started Kindergarten today" I held it together and came home and lost it! The reality of Trinity "should have been" are hard cant believe she should of started school this year. What I wouldnt give to have had to buy two kids school supplies, two kids school clothes, new shoes, and pretty heair bows for her hair! OHHHH its going to be a long year!

  • Awwww... I'm sorry for the comment the man made. I'm sure he didn't have any idea and certainly didn't mean for it to hurt so much.  But an angel mom's heart remains raw always.  It's just so unfair.  :(

    Hugs,

  • I am so sorry for that other parent's comment.  Some people only see what they want to see.  Somtimes, it's good to remind people to watch their words:)  Glad you spoke up.

  • Oh, hun...I know how bad you wish you had to buy all that for 2 kids. I do too.

    Sometimes the most innocent comments can have the biggest effect.

    ♥ you!

  • Some people just don't know how good they have it! I'm sorry you had to meet one of them today. Thinking of you.

  • Im so sorry to hear that, people are so insensitive sometimes. Im sure he didn't mean to upset you but i think it has to do with the fact that this is a sore subject and the world doesn't really know that infant loss is a fact that affect many of us.

    I didn't really know how "frequent" it is until if happened to me. It is a sad reality.

    I still dont know what to say when people ask "do you have only one".

    Stay strong,
