Does TTC make you resentful?
I am a single mom of two beautiful children. I have never been married. Sadly, I have many family members and friends who are unable or having a very hard time conceiving. I have received quite a bit of criticism and judgment due to my having children when others are unable. I have even been asked to give my baby to my cousin. I would like to understand where these people are coming from. My children are happy, smart and well adjusted. Why does it make a person more deserving just because they are married?

Well I can only speak for myself so here it goes:
I absolutely don't feel resentful and someone suggesting giving your child to your cousin is the saddest thing I’ve ever heard. You absolutely don't need to be married to provide the best life for your children because as we all know millions of children grow up with both parents and still end up screw-ups. When i see a pregnant woman or families with children I just smile and just make a little wish that one day I will be blessed with children. I will be honest though when I see bad moms (like once who do drugs in front of there kids or send kids to school with maggots in there lunch box, ect..) I just get upset because I wonder why those people become mothers and some women who would be terrific mothers have a hard time TTC. Please don’t think that all women who are TTC are resentful. I’m very happy that as a single mother you’ve been able to raise good kids into society… Good luck and if I were you I would eliminate negative people such as the ones who resent the fact that ur a mom from my life, surround yourself with people who support your and love you.
i hope u got very angry when they asked you to give ur baby to you cousin. That is your child, they are idiots to even ask you to give ur child away. They are just jealous and envious.
Just like to add my mother raised my and my siblings on her own, since we were around 5/6 years old. We are all now grown up and outts home.
