Triggering onesie present
I need to vent for a moment.
I’m 2.5 years post-TFMR and expecting a baby boy in September. My mom has had some health complications. She lives far from me, and now that’s she’s healthy enough to travel, I’m so excited for her to meet our child in the fall.
Her friends got a little too excited and bought my baby several onesies with text on them. I’m SO NOT A FAN of what they say.
One says, “Hand Picked For Earth By My Grandpa In Heaven.” The one that really got to me was the text, “Grandma Has Waited A Long Time For Me.”
I feel so triggered by it. I know my mom grieved the loss too, but those friends of hers have no idea what I went through. Like, you don’t think my husband and I didn’t wait so long for this baby?!? Also, I know many women who tried for years and were never able to have kids of their own. It very much feels like they’re finding amusement in clothing with stupid text that brings up so many painful memories. I hate the onesies. I hate the gifters. I hate that my mom told me they meant well and she wishes I was more grateful.
