'Make a Complaint Monday': Considering Others Feelings

It's BACK!!!  I was reading through my Blog, way back when, and had totally forgotten about my 'Make a Complaint Monday' posts.  They seemed kind a fun, so I thought I'd start them again.


My complaint this lovely Monday morning is about people that THINK, or PRETEND or just SAY they know how you feel.......OR if you're going through a hard time and they try to make it seem like someone else's time was HARDER than yours so you shouldn't be complaining...............COME ON!!!! 


Now my question is, what do you say to those that are struggling with something specific, someone that needs advice?  I have a friend that wants another baby so badly, but the doctor told her she needed to start using Chlomid to help her body accomplish this.  As she was talking with friends, I was there, one of them said, "Oh, I've heard it's not that bad (ok, right?).  But did you hear about so and so's hard time getting pregnant?  Now that's hard (RED LIGHT!)!"  Tell me what YOU think is wrong with this conversation.......

My friend felt so ridiculous that she even brought it up.  We really need to take a step back and THINK before we speak.  She has NEVER had to deal with fertility issues, and it has been really hard.  That's all she needed was to hear that HER specific situation didn't matter compared to so and so's HARD TI ME.  I hope we can all be kind to one another and really be friends when we need to be. :)

Coming Soon............

I am re-adding my 'Make a Complaint Monday' to my Blog.  Watch for some good conversation and interesting topics every Monday!  And PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE leave a comment with what you think! :)
