[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently reading comprehension is an issue. I said I will NOT ask.

I do think that it is weird, though.  And i don't care if it isn't my business.  I am allowed to think it is weird.  I am also allowed start assuming they aren't having kids.  Everyone else assumes they are and wants me to save crap for them and i have been.  Done.  You are all right. It is none of my business so I won't save stuff.

I totally get it and apparently some of you are SUPER bothered by me asking the question.  But, notwithstanding PPs comments, it is an elephant in the room if NO ONE is allowed to ask about it. That is actually exactly what an elephant in the room is.  Something that everyone knows is there but no one will discuss.  They have been together a decade, they have been married over 4, they are apparently healthy, have good jobs.  She is 35! What is next?  Since they said they want kids, isn't that next?  Right????  So the fact that no one asks is because it is an elephant in the room--and it is awkward!!  And the way she snuggles up on the latest baby makes it seem even more appropriate to ask. But no on does.  Elephant is NOT in my head! [/quote]

There is nothing weird about the fact that they do not have children. Your sense of entitlement to information about their family plans is weird.[/quote]
