When you get married and everyone asks constantly when you are having kids, wishing you had kids, reminding you that everybody else does. [LIFTED] off

Agreed, it's a treadmill of intrusion and rudeness!

At that point I think you're probably allowed to be as rude as you like back to them. That's just... that's just not on. What the eff?

Just push out your belly, make a selfie and "there, satisfied? Christmas dinner was delicious. Diet starts tomorrow." I had some friends in Austria, when they went to get married they were asked if they were going to have children, soon. There was only one valid answer: yes. If you don't want kids, you don't get to get married...

Somebody once asked my mother when the baby was due. She wasn't pregnant. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Since I've had quite a bit of luck today (half decent Xmas present, customs refund), I thought I'd do the lottery online. Except they only accept debit cards and I've no idea where mine is since I never use it. Of course, this is the second time in as many weeks where the bloody thing would have been useful  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

You'd think people would realise that infertility is really common. My mother would give me the full on " how can you do this to me! " speech. She's crazy and weirdly backwards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, not really. It is more common than it was, but it's still actually pretty rare. If infertility was actually common, we'd be pretty buggered as a species. what there is is this odd expectation that once you decide you want to have a baby, pregnancy should follow almost immediately. Therefore the fact it doesn't is labelled as 'infertility'. Grandparents seem to have this notion that because they reproduced and went through al the hassle of raising children, that somehow means it's their children's duty to do the same.
