It irritates me!!!!! I have one ANGEL! That means that my angel is not living and is an angel with WINGS! It irritates me when I go to another mom's site and see she has two angels, and then I console her, and she tells me her kids aren't dead, they are just "angels".... I understand that they love their child, but I would say I have one girl and one boy, not two angels. What about the moms that say one girl, two boys and an angel? That doesn't mean they have four living children, but only one is a good child... That means that one is in HEAVEN!!!!!
I don't know why people would want others to think that their kids are angels when they aren't.....
Sorry, just my rant... AF visiting and I feel like crap and all I read are posts about people who are pregnant and sick of morning sickness. I WISH I had morning sickness, they should at least be glad that they will most likely bring a child home.... Whereas here am I, just sitting by myself over a year later still no child......
It just irritates me, and unfortunately, I will probably only be irritated more in a little while, realizing that no one replies to these types of posts, they only respond to cute ones or ones full of drama, and mine doesn't have either of them......
Sorry, but I would really appreciate any type of comment, but..... it doesn't matter.....
EDIT:::: I really understand when you say you have an angel or a miracle, because of something that happened that COULD have turned out differently... Such as a baby that came too early and pulled through and made it, or other things like that.... That isn't what I am ranting about... I am ranting more when healthy normal kids are considered angels just because, just because they are good, or just because they want to... That is what I mean when I say what I have said.
Please don't think I am being insensitive to situations like that.... I am just talking about situations that aren't like that....
EDIT AGAIN: I am talking about when you make the statement at the top of your homepage here on cafemom. On my page, you can go look and mine says "Mother of One Beautiful Angel in Heaven", some say mom to two boys, etc... I am ONLY complaining about the ones that say mom to two angels and they have never lost a child and still have two living children......

Amen mama! I've not been through a miscarriage, but I get where you are coming from.
I am also sick of the morning sickness talk, I had hyperemesis and ughhhhhhhh not fun at all. >.<;;;
They really need a sweetpea offering someone a piece of chocolate.
In my religion we are taught that the purest angels are the babies who come to this world only to breath a few short breaths and then pass to heaven without having to be tempered by the hardships of a longer life. Your angel is waiting for you in heaven along with the dozen aunts and uncles I never met, some of whom never breathed at all.

I am sorry for your loss and I know that how you view the term "angel" is powerful and special to you. I have been blessed in that I have never lost a child....so angel doesn't have the same deep special meaning...so just remember that we that might use that term for our living children are not trying to be disrespectful...that fierce love and connection you feel with your baby is how we feel about our living children and so to us they are angels...a little bit of heaven right here on earth...so sorry for your pain and grief..blessings
That's basically what I was trying to say. She said it better!
