After you read the article come back for my commentary...
1. "So when are you guys going to get started?"
Is Susie out of town?
2. "You'll understand when you're a mom."
Umm...that would include HAVING CHILDREN.
3. "Just relax. You'll get pregnant in no time."
That stresses me out.
4. "It must be nice to have time to read a book/go to the movies/have a romantic dinner."
Yes, it must be. I wouldn't know I work all the darned time.
5. "I didn't invite you because there will be kids at the party."
Thank you. Honestly. I love you.
6. "Have you tried different sex positions/diets/doctors/wearing looser underwear?"
A little personal, no? If you must know, yes, I've tried all of those things for reasons other than procreating.
7. "Is your husband okay with you not wanting kids?"
He likes being the only child. ;)
8. "Your dog is your baby."
Obviously.
9. "You'll change your mind about having kids in a few years."
I'll take that bet.
10. "Since you don't have kids, you can afford a new car/remodeling project/vacation."
Or a trip around the world in 2016. I'm so there. Thanks for the reminder.
That was fun. Honestly the article reminded me of how rude these questions really are. It is such a personal decision and one never knows if fertility, commitment or other issues are at fault. The thought of having another human depend on you could just be too much for some
