Hit Me Where It Hurts

Ah the sorrows and sensitvities of being a childless mother. Sometimes it can be a little comment, like my best friends little sister who commented at the baby shower how she(18) and I were the only ones there who had never had a baby. Then there are the comments that throw a one, two punch. Yesterday I got let go from my Nanny job. I've been working there two days a week for the past month and today she tells me she doesn't think I'm good with babies, that I don't have enough experience. And then, to twist the knife a little more she tells me I'd understand if I had kids. Now, dispite the fact that everyone I've told about this woman thinks she's a flake(amongst other things needing an entire team of people to care for two babies) and all my friends and my mother are telling me that she's crazy because kids love me...I still feel like she punched me in the stomach. Her little comment made me want to go order me up some sperm right now, have a baby and prove her wrong. I AM good with babies! But what I really need to do is take this comment along with the others and file it away, never to be seen again untill after I have a child and it no longer hurts to think about. People can be so cruel.
