People asking you when you're going to have kids

[honeychile]

When asked that question, I would answer:

1) (pause) "I'm not sure that question deserves an answer."

or

2) *sigh* "Okay, first I need to ovulate. Then, we have to have sex. His sperm will hopefully swim and penetrate the egg, which we hope will then attach to my uterine wall..." I rarely had to go that far, but you get my drift.

Nobody has ever asked me that question.

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.

Everytime my folks get enough wine in them, they start getting onto me about getting them some grandkids.

Hey, I thought you were getting married soon or something? Or may be you moved in with your girlfriend...

I can't keep up with you...

But you'd have some cute grandkiddies for your parents...

Let them take care of lil crumb snatchers...

And isn't it amazing that some people feel it's perfectly okay to put their hands on the stomach of a pregnant woman they don't know? Another co-worker got that a lot.

I hated that while I was pregnant--- strangers in Walmart would touch me. After the first few times of looking shocked I started giving dirty looks-- my husband swore on a really hormonal day I would end up punching some Walmart person who thought it was ok to touch me.

I'm 20, and on my list of stuff I want to do in life, kids arn't anywhere on there. Granted I am 20, and I may change my mind. However, if someone were to pose this question to me right now, I may have to hurt them. If you ever see on the news the woman who started a fight in Wal-Mart in WV, that would probably be me.
