This time of year is meant to be filled with joy and family get-togethers, but not everyone has family or anything to be happy about. So are you ok?

    Mostly okay! I’ve been through a decade of infertility in the past and both of my (historically) happily childfree siblings announced they want kids now. I’ve experienced every emotion I can name about that but I’ve also had some good chats with other loved ones about it!

    Seems a bit trivial compared to what some other people are going through but it took me by surprise.

      If you don’t mind me asking, how are you and all your other siblings infertil?

        I understand it as s/he is infertile but siblings aren’t and now since they want kids it leaves OP with mixed feelings

        Oh no just me!! 😂 My siblings just didn’t want kids for over a decade and suddenly changed their minds 🤪 It does leave me with mixed feelings as the person replying said, they’re a little hard to explain to someone who hasn’t been through it
