What a terrible thing to say! People are amazingly rude sometimes. My mother always told me to NEVER ask a couple about having kids. You don't know their story. They might be desperate and crying every night over not being pregnant. This was something I could never get my husband to stop asking. One couple who I adore was a particular target of his and I was all but certain they DID want kids. But what are they supposed to say?
I do worry about being old and alone, but I guess I'm confident that it will resolve itself. Since I do intend to remarry some day, hopefully husband #2 will have (adult) children who can provide the grand kids I'd like to have, even though I never wanted kids. Otherwise there are other alternatives. I still picture myself being a house mother in my old age.
