A woman shouldn't brag about being more fertile than another woman

Recently, I met up with some friends and saw and heard the following conversation.
AA, a mother of one child has always wanted to have many children and had been and are still trying, at least, to have another child. Obviously, she had been through a lot of pain for not being able to conceive another child.
Then, there was RG, a mother of two children. When she heard about AA having only one child, she said, "how did you manage to cope with it? I married late and I was still able to conceive two children...". How very insensitive of her. It was RG's first meeting with AA and she should be considerate of AA's plight in battling with infertility.
What do you think mylotters? I hope you all have a smooth shopping for Christmas time.

I think it`s very rude to point out the flaws and problems of someone else whatever they are. There are some people who do what you tell us, others who point out how fat or skinny you are. I wonder if they know how much they can hurt other people. Of course their insensibility is due in part because they are stupid, but that does not allow them to say all they want to.

Of course there is no point on being friends with such a person. But then, you don`t befriend every person that comes along.

I think RG is being plainly rude to AA.
It's even their first meeting and what words RG chose to say...how insensitive and inconsiderate of her towards AA's feeling.
I am sure AA will never accept RG as her friend. RG is a friend that needs to be avoided until she learns how to respect and say nice things to other people.

What is there to brag about? Children are not toy, they are parents' responsibilities and BIGGGG responsibilities.
Better to raise one good child than have many children that end up in jail.

I agree with you. Children are not toys .I don't find there is any necessity to brag here. But the women being a teacher don't have any sense.

I think that RG was really tactless in asking such question to a new acquaintance. What was she thinking? It is not anyone's fault if she becomes infertile or having problems in conceiving.

Yes Jenny, I agree with you. AA is only a human-being and conceiving a child is not within human's power. So, RG should blame God instead, IF she dares!!
We all know that God has his plans for everyone, so, why compare? Each person is different, unique and each will have a different life experience.

Its really sad to know that a teacher behave like this. She should know her line and that too in the first meeting.And i don't understand why should she brag about her being fertile. As you said its good to have one child instead of many and end up in jail. Its a big responsibility overall.

Yes prashu, it is known to many people, people from all kinds of religion, that parents will one day have to answer before God, whether they have carried out their duties as parents to bring up their children in a way that pleases God. I think RG is a foolish woman for bragging about her capability to have more children. One day she will regret her words...

Yes, she should not brag instead she should advice her what mother AA should do for her to become more fertile. It seems that she is insensitive and did not consider her feelings. Sometimes we should be cautious of what will we tell for we will be hurting someone unconsciously.

Hi kokomo,
RG may think it's not a big deal to just let out anything that comes to her mind but for AA it is such a big deal that it probably will affect her for a very very long time. RG seems to have no conscience, no guilt, no shame for making AA feel so bad about her condition. Hope AA will keep on being a strong woman.

Wow! That was a rude comment, hey. Im sorry for AA, but she must not give up hope. People with children should remember that babies are a GIFT from God and they should stand by those and encourage women who cannot have children. Good luck to your friend!

Yes, RG was rude indeed. AA was deeply hurt...how can anyone still be able to feel so lucky, so happy after hurting someone's feeling. I am sure one day RG will learn her lesson. What comes around goes around..

Some people just don't have any tact at all. I cannot believe she would say that in front of that poor lady, who obviously was feeling pretty low. People sometimes just make me sick, they have absolutely no empathy for another human being.

I think RG is that "big mouth" type of woman.
She should just learn to keep her mouth shut if she has nothing good to say.
What makes she thinks that everyone's situation is the same, I really don't know. She is a teacher, a "dumb' teacher that should be kicked out of school before she makes her students suffer like AA.
