Can I vent for a minute??

yey 4 posts.

i think that many of us don't speak out as much about the hardships of CF as we think we do. therefore expecting others to understand how difficult CF can be doesn't make sense since no one is pyschic.

if you're normally upbeat about CF, how does your sister know that CF sucks? just another perspective to consider....

amy why did you post that, and why are you reading up on the pregnancy section? you come off really rude sometimes.

so what if caroline's post came up four times. i'd rather read her four posts compared to your one post. let's try to be nice to anne, she was just venting, not asking for others opinions <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

i've done that many times before myself. that's why i said that. this site is slow sometimes so we all end up with multiple posts.

why am i reading the pregnancy section? i actually read every section of this site. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> others gave their opinions on this thread and there's nothing wrong with throwing in another perspective. if you decide to post, you open yourself up for comments. unless it's your blog, you are open to posts from anyone.

last i checked this board isn't just about posting opinions that agree only with the poster. and i know anne is trying to figure out this issue (which I have gone through myself because I also hardly ever complain about my CF issues and then wonder why others aren't sensitive/aware of my struggles) so I threw in my opinion just as other posters did.

well this is a valid point. I think we sometimes expect people close to us to know how we feel, but we have to wonder if we've ever actually told them. I think this with my husband a lot. I expect him to just know that a 4 am coughing attack is exhausting or that I get embarrassed when I cough in public, but I've realized that I actually have to tell him these things or else he just puts his own spin on it, if that makes any sense.

Maybe you could tell your sis you're happy to talk with this new mom, but that you're going ot be realistic about it. If your sis thinks you're just going to give this mom a sugar coated experiecne, she's wrong - that might open your sister's eyes to what you struggle with.

Cf does suck, huh?
