Do not blame your infertility on me.

Taylor • Happily married! Pregnant for 1st baby!!

Okay, let me start of by saying that I truly feel for those that struggle with infertility. I think you're amazing women and I hope and pray that those who do not yet have their baby will soon.

Anyway, since I've became pregnant, I am being bullied at work by two ladies who could not get pregnant and have a problem with me being pregnant. They always said very mean things to me like "your barley a child yourself how you gonna raise one." "How are you going to afford a baby" "are you even married" I am 24 years old, my job is stable, my husband makes great money, we own two vehicles and a home. I should not have to explain this to anyone but I feel the need to defend myself when someone makes harsh jabs at me. Well they've basically turned the entire department against me. They've been there longer and have a higher position than I do and they use it to their advantage. I'm not going to run to HR and tattle, it's just not my thing.

I never thought in my wildest dream that I would be bullied and teased like a child for being pregnant. These women can't have kids, and I am having to be punished for it. I know it's jealousy, but it still hurts. Why should I be blamed for your infertility? Why should I be punished because you can't get pregnant? I'm seriously trying not to run away and hide and cry like a baby, I'm trying to be stronger, but this is so upsetting. I can't tell them nothing or defend myself in the way they attack me, I can loose my job and that's not an option for me. I just feel so alone I don't really have friends since I've moved out of state and I just want to cry!! Please make me understand why must I be treated so horribly because these two women couldn't have children???
