Single ladies, how do you respond to "why aren't you married yet?"

I ingored that and asked her what she was up to lately, and her response was "Oh we both are still at WalMart."

She asked me what I was up to and I told her (grad school). She said "Oh wow that's great, I didn't really wanna go to college, I felt like it wasn't something I needed to be successful in life."

She went on to tell me that they are living with his mom right now, because they put an offer on a house but "isn't sure why but they turned it down." I tried to sound concerned like "Wow that's a shame." She was like "OMG we were soo upset, I mean we both have great part time jobs I don't know what happened."

Then she ends the convo with "Oh I forgot to tell you, we're having a baby, so you should give me your address for shower invites. I'm soo excited, that's the thing we both want more than anything!"

Stuff like this makes me want to beat my head against a wall......

Don't get me wrong, marriage is great, but getting married, being dumb as a box of rocks, and immediately repoducing (before you are actually married lol) with no real place to live is NOT.

That's what I meant. No home, part-time job.....they just don't sound prepared. At least, that's how I look at the situation.

Right. I almost laughed out loud when she said "we both have good part time jobs, I don't know what happened."

I can tell you what happened. They saw your part-time jobs and your most likely ridiculous offer and told you to kick rocks.
