TTC - To Say or Say Not?
While Trying to Conceive, have you found others (even people you barely know) asking prying questions or offering unsolicited advice? Do you think they mean well and just don't think, or are they being meddling and/or on the rude side? Do you respond, ignore it, brew over it all night...?

Stop the Comments!

Posted by: jhelm on Tue Nov 6, 2007

Recently, two co workers made the comment to me (out of the blue) that my husband and I should really work on having a child because at my age (35- oh my!), my 'eggs may start to shrivel.' These two were in the early 20s. I told them, 'that is why I don't like to talk about this issue. It's a private issue between my husband and me.'
It really bothers me when others ask when are we having kids. It may not happen. Please stop asking. I don't feel like telling you that we're 'trying' - to me, that translates to 'we're having sex every chance we get!' I don't ask about your bowel regimen, don't ask about my 'sex schedule.'
