[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get this too, although less now that my son is 6.  It will die down as he gets older I'm sure.  I'm never offended, especially when someone just asks if we plan to have another.  I'm pretty open about my life and would prefer to talk about actual things than a whole lot of nothing.

I DON'T love when people insist my son needs a sibling, and continues the inquiry when I try to politely steer the conversation.  Even then though, the person means well and I don't take it personally.  But not taking it personally is different than not getting sad.  I got teary last time someone asked me and I had just miscarried.

Yes, this.
I'm one of the PPs who has dealt with infertility and loss, and it is the insistence that my DD just HAS to have a sibling that bothers me.  It isn't people asking us if we plan to have another, it is the people who insist that we must, for DD's sake.  If only it was as easy as snapping my fingers and making it happen.[/quote]
