When people piss me off I just tell them that I can't have children and most shut the heck up because they are embarassed. Serves them right for being nosy!

That's another thing. As we get older, a lot of us are experiencing feritility problems. That Essence article scared the beejeesus out of me (about infertility in Black women). I think it is BEYOND rude to ask someone this question, especially if you are not close enough to them to know WHY they do not have children. I've seen people ask people why they don't have children. "YOU BEEN MARRIED FOR HOW LONG!?! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?"
You don't know if they have fertility problems. You don't know if the person is ill, and the doctor has advised against children. You don't know if they just don't want them. The point is, it's non of your business.
