I'm really sad to hear that another woman would be so insensitive to you Di.

I think I'd try to stay away from people like this.

Since my husband and I didn't have children until our almost tenth year of marriage I heard a lot of stupid and insensitve comments too.

My own cousin told me if I didn't have children I'd be "afflicted." With what I don't know. If anyone was "afflicted" it was her and I sure won't go into her messy life.

Don't forget Di, at this age our hormones wreak havoc on our emotions and I think with some of us it's worse around the holidays.

Just get into the spirit and as we are all saying, get your home decorated. Not only get a real tree (or a nice fake one) I like to put several pots of poinsettias all around the hearth in front of the fireplace too. Just go with it and have fun!
