Is that right? Did you really say that?

People just don’t get it! Those types of comments still throw me every time, I find they often come from the people you least expect. When I sat my own parents down to tell them, my own mother just looked at me, tapped her fingers on the table and said “oh well”, then nothing!!!! My husband nearly exploded with outrage, he calmly suggested that maybe I might need a hug??? It was then that I realised there are going to be people that offer emotional support and many that don’t know how. Sad but true. I have a wonderful mother-in-law, thankfully
