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.

        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
