You Can Always Volunteer At A School

Here's an article about the trauma of being an infertile couple having to see your friends' baby pictures and family status updates on Facebook. The article says that this makes the childless couples sad. Well, we're childless, we see friends talking about their kids all the time on Facebook, and we don't feel melancholy about that at all, no matter how we feel about not having been blessed with kids ourselves. We LIKE keeping in touch with what the kids are up to. We're happy when we see a kid's picture, or hear good news about his or her education. It's vicarious, sure, but hardly something to be sad about. If you're so self-centered that other people's joy is your misery, you need an adjustment. But that's just me, I guess, and the paper can't get a feature out of that. (Washington Post)
