Should I be mad??

[catnapper]

Why be mad? Thats private thing between your mother and father. Even if she had it when you were 2 or last week, its a private matter. Do you tell your mom everything?

My mom had an ectoptic pregnancy when I was 3. She ended up having emergency surgery to remove the fetus (it was a girl) and it was only when I was in college that mom told me I almost had a baby sister. Was I mad? Nope, just disappointed that I could have had a sister.

Since it is at Christmas when she tells you these things, I'd say she is missing them and thinking of what might have been had she carried them to term and had them. I had one myself before I had my daughter Rie and her brother and I don't know if I have ever told her about it. It is not a secrete by no means but just one of the many sad things that happened in my life.

Why should you be mad about it? Maybe she was just trying to save you the burden of missing them or wondering what might have been too....

IMO, no, you have no reason whatsoever to be angry. That is your mother's personal and private business.

Double ditto.

I suppose it is one of those things where we were thinking back to what might have been. My sister, even to this day, still asks for a little brother or sister. Last night my mom said, we tried, but had 3 miscarriages, so you could have had a little brother or sister. I do feel bad, and I am not in ANY way mad at my mom at all, I feel really bad for her. I hope one day, if she wants to talk about it, she will come to me or my sister, but she can get really upset so I don't want to ask her about it right now, at Christmas time and have her get upset. Thanks for the help everyone. Merry Christmas!

I can see why it would be a little frustrating for you, especially if you and your mom are close. But I think right now the thing she needs most is your support.

If anyone should be upset, it should be your mom!!!
Loosing a child can be a very Painful experience, you should support your mom.. I know thats what my mom would want.. She had lost twins before, and she was soo depressed about it
