DH and I have been married almost 10 years now. We have one DS (3) and people are constantly asking us WHEN are we going to have another one. Then when I tell them I don't want another one unless the doctor can guarentee I'm going to have a boy, they look at me like I have two heads or I just sprouted devil horns from the middle of my chin. :

Imagine being married for 5 years and not having any children yet. We are questioned constantly and all kinds of suggestions from other couples. The other day I met a girl that was all of 21 and preggo with her 4th baby She was just flabbergasted that I didn't have one in my "advance age." Later in the bathroom, she whipsered "do you have a problem trying to get pregnant?" I said "yes, we do. The damn bc pill gets in the way" and walked out the door.

Tell them "We'll have one when people stop asking questions about topics that are none of their business."

Sorry, but that was just so completely out of nowhere, it caught me off guard and made me laugh aloud.

They ask "why not have another?"

answer "Shut up! That's why!"

I get the "Don't you want to try for a boy?"

No, I don't. I will if you will carry it for 9 months for me, and get up in the middle of the night with it for the next 3 months. Then, and only then, will I try for a boy. I'll also need to borrow some sperm for this to occur.

Oh, good luck!

Our "only" a DD is 6. If I had a $1 for every idiot who opened there mouth about it I could live at Disney!

When she was around 4 I started getting really snarky about it, I probley shouldnt have but the chic had it coming! She attends our child and has 5 very busy children. They are NOT bad kids or even "wild" but I was irritated that day by her constantly going on and on about how kids love a big family and its so good for the kids to play with siblings (None of her business and she asked if we were going to have more kids!) So I said right before getting DD from Sunday School "Some of us are blesssed with one, and some of us should have stopped at one!" Not nice I know but really NONE of her business!

Really people, think before speaking! You dont know if my single child is by choice, medical condition, whatever! I dont tell perfect strangers that they should only have 2 kids and not three,,,,

Sorry, Vent Over!

Too funny! I wish I had the imagination to come up with that one, I could have used it! We were married 7 years before we knew we wanted kids.

I used to get the "aren't you going to try for a boy" question all the time, but once they realized what little demons my kids were, they were begging me not to procreate again.

No one ever asks me that. I guess they don't want any more of my spawn in the world.

Heee! What a great come back!

People are so rude. My nephew and his wife have had the same issue. They've been married for 5 years and it's unbelievable the comments people make.

 

[mrsltg]

We get the boy question a lot, too. I. HATE. IT. Normally I just smile and nod but one lady got the better of me. She wouldn't back off and wouldn't stop telling me how my dh would be incomplete without a son. I finally said, "Actually, we had a boy. He died. " She looked like she wanted crawl into a hole. That's what you get for being nosey!!!!

 

[MayTheForceBeWithYou]

goofy--we got that question all the time because it took DH and I awhile to decide whether or not we even wanted kids. It's like you are some sort of abberant misfit if you don't want kids right away, or even at all. Oy.

 

[donnajon]

Actually, after you get married, they all want to know when you are having a baby. After that one, they want to know when you are having another one. Then they leave you alone. Until you get pregnant with the third. Then they all want to know if it was an accident! I finally started telling people who asked me that, "That is such a rude question!" and they would be shocked that I found that question rude.

No one ever asks me, and I haven't even had one yet. They don't want ANY spawn from me and DH.

What pisses me off are the people who ask if we are going to try for a boy (we have two girls) . It's almost as if they don't think a family is complete unless you have one of each, which IMHO, is an ignorant line of thought.

Seriously, I have had people ask when we are going to try for (or do we want) a boy and my youngest daughter is only 4 months old! I tend to look at them like they are stupid, and reply that our family is complete.

 

[littleteapot]

A friend who didn't want any told us (we were TTC) we should answer rude questions with.

"Well, my husband and I are first cousins, we're not allowed to have children"

I only used it once, but you shoulda seen the guys face
