So this is my response (because we know I can't keep my mouth shut ! ) and her response :

Me: I'm sorry, but as someone who is Childless Not by Choice & has had a loss & dealt with IF, this rubs me the wrong way. 11 mins · Like
Random person:That is your choice. However there are many who want to have children and can't. The process can lead to major depression and even suicide. So perhaps this isn't for you. But it may help someone who is going through the process.
The admin of the group deleted one of the posts this morning as they delete any non related posts, and the the chick reposted it !
Honestly I thought her words were insenstive and humble braggy but I figured she was just one of those people who meant well and failed on execution. Until this shit right here.
Fuck her and her AW humble brag dumb ass post.
You took the words out of my mouth. I was initially going to post something like "not trying to be devil's advocate, but she probably meant well, blah blah" but I take it all back. Ugh, I'm physically shuddering.
I found a FB page called Aspiring Mother's Day. With the exact same announcement/quote. The page only has 11 likes. Go figure.
It's a really weird term.
Ew, I agree. Gross. TTC isn't a process of looking up to other mothers and going, "Oh, how I wish to be like you! I will work hard and have all the sex so that I can finally become a mother and reach a higher state of being!"
Rubs meh the wrong way.
ETA: Sorry for the crazy insensitivity you personally experienced today, @wickedcandy.
I would have started a facebook community a long time ago if I had known the only thing you need to do is copy and paste the same shitty poem into posts over and over again.

Sorry you had to interact with her @wickedcandy. Her post definitely comes off as attention whorish. I'm sure everyone she knew heard her plight- most likely through multiple facebook posts.
Whoever wrote it, I think her heart was probably in the right place, but... no. Because it's still, Why her and not me? Because she has three children, and she's dangling that carrot like, Look what I did.
I agree with this. I mean, it's nice of her to reach out and say she wants to recognize those women, but still...
