[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  I always cringe when someone asks a childless friend when they are going to start their family.  Whether somebody doesn't want kids or is having difficulty conceiving, that's a very personal question and IMO insensitive. At the same time, some women can become consumed and bitter.[/quote]

100% this.

People need to stop asking people that question, or "when are you having another/are you going to have another?"  I get these alot because my first is in K.  We waited to start TTC until she was 4 for many reasons, but have been trying for over a year now.  I'm not as emotional about it as some, but I still wish people weren't so nosey.  It is just an uncomfortable topic in general.  Our reproductive systems are none of anyone's business.

I was recently stuck right in the middle of a conversation between my friend who is going through IVF and her BIL's pregnant young 20-something girlfriend.  The 20-something had no IDEA what she had just stepped into when she asked if they wanted kids and they should really have them.  I wanted to smack her because I was sitting next to her, but my friend was pretty good about answering without being snotty.  But, really - get a clue, chick.

The consumed, bitter folks are just as obnoxious.  I am sorry for your struggles, but it isn't fair to bring everyone else down, either.[/quote]
