Condescending Mom mask

I hope I never stoop so low as to assume that simply because I am a mother I am better than all those around me. I hope I never look at my young coworker who is desperately trying to find a husband and family that "oh I guess you don't have kids so there's no way you could understand" I hope I never make anyone feel as small as my coworker made me feel today. I never want to insinuate that someone has less worth simply because they haven't had the chance to fulfill their divine roll as of yet. I don't want to assume things about their lives and how they live and what they hope for after only knowing them a few weeks. I'm so mad because the assumption that goes around is that it is my choice to be living my life this way and the fact that I haven't "settled down" and started raising a family is frowned upon. What about Melissa? Or Mycah? For all she knows they could have infertility issues. There is NO way to figure all that out about a person after only knowing them for a few weeks. What if someone just had a miscarriage? What if one of us had been pregnant and lost the baby at any stage? What if we had been told we were infertile? YOU DONT KNOW THAT! YOU CANT SAY THINGS LIKE THAT! Someday I will be a wife and a mother and I hope I am more aware of the feelings of others before I speak and say insensitive things. Someday I hope I am a great woman of strength and sensitivity for those around me.
