QUIT ASKING ME ABOUT BABIES.


To whom it may concern: 

Today was the LAST DAY that I was polite when someone asked me about when we're having kids.  Please, for your safety, do not ask me about when we're having kids, if I'm pregnant, why we don't have a baby yet, etc.  IT'S RUDE.  If you ask, it means YOU ARE A RUDE PERSON.  I do not care if you're one of my good friends, one of my coworkers, one of my acquaintances, or one of our family members.  I don't care if you're joking or "not trying to hurt my feelings".  It's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, and you DO hurt my feelings.  

Maybe we ARE trying but haven't been able to conceive.  

Maybe we don't know if we really want kids at all but we've not come out and said that because everyone WANTS and EXPECTS us to have kids.

Maybe I actually AM pregnant, but I'm just not telling you (and after all this crap, I've decided that if that's the case, I would NOT announce it because most of the people that I know are so rude that they don't deserve to know).

Maybe I've lost one, and you just don't know it (I'm sure that thought makes you feel really good, huh?).

I'm so over trying to explain to people why I don't appear to be pregnant or why there is no child living in our house with us yet.  So back off, because next time, I'll say something that will make you feel awkward and stupid, and you'll definitely wish you hadn't asked.  Do not comment on this post, do not message apologizing or applauding me...I don't care what you have to say.  What's done is done.  I'm going to chalk it up to people being stupid sometimes.

I'm not sorry if I've offended anyone, because you obviously don't care if you offend us.

JUST.  STOP.  ASKING.
