People asking you when you're going to have kids

I have a friend of mine who replies "I can't bear children". That shuts folx right up!

Uggh, I hate this question. The Mr. and I just got home from visiting family and we got this alot. When I inform people that I don't want kids, they say, oh-you'll change your mind! Ok thanks-you obviously know what I want better than I do, so I'm not sure why I answered the question. Or, I hear, when your 30 you'll change your mind. I'm sorry, but 30 isn't a magical number that on my bday I will wake up and demand my husband to impregnate me. No thanks. People don't listen when you say you don't want kids. And it drives me crazy!! The Mr. finally said, next time someone asks you that burst into tears and scream, we're trying but we just can't!! That would make people quit asking that question pretty fast.
