It never fails to amaze me the number of innocent looking strangers and not-so-strangers that insist on getting all up in my v-jay-jay business.
Questions like ‘Are you done having kids’ ‘Are you using protection’ and ‘Surely you don’t want a fourth’ are not only invasive but who the heck made you the v-jay-jay patrol?
Though its frankly none of your beeswax, dear stranger in the grocery line-up, the fact is I don’t really know. I’d be open to having one more, but I would need to move first; our home is too small and someone might get hurt if we add more bodies to the mix.
Considering It’s been 2 years since we started looking for a new home to suit our needs and our budget, I’m not even sure I’ll still want to go through the whole process again when we finally find our forever home. Then again… I can’t be sure I won’t.
‘Kids are expensive!’ Actually…. kids are free! Its the upkeep and maintenance that costs a fortune.
‘You know, they don’t stay small forever!’
Really? Damn. And I thought I’d have a cute cuddly baby to hold and squeeze forever. Oh wait… those are called DOLLS.
‘It’s a lot of work’ and ‘I don’t think *I* could start over again’…. Good, if you don’t think you can do it again… don’t!
‘You won’t be able to laugh without peeing yourself!’ Honey, I’ve had 3 – ’nuff said.
The long and short of it is, we’ve decided to not decide until we move.
So, dear stranger, please kindly pull your ass out of my vagina!
People are so nosy. What makes anyone think it’s OK to ask such personal things? I have prepared answers for some of these obnoxious questions. Thanks for the laugh 🙂
I laughed so hard at this. You said what I have been thinking for MANY years!! And you’re spot on!
I had fun reading your post and I too wish strangers mind their own business 🙂
lol ‘Kids are expensive!’ Actually…. kids are free! Its the upkeep and maintenance that costs a fortune. so true
I too wish people would mind there own business. We have answered some in the past. My husband gets more questions and comments because he works outside the home, but I get them to when we go shopping and such.
Haha you are funny. People keep asking if I’m going to have a 3rd since that is the “trend”… um no.
Haha, I don’t have kids yet, and I get many of these all the time- people feel like I must either not want kids, or just have not considered it yet. I figure, if I don’t mind their business in childmaking, they shouldn’t be up in mine!
I feel that this is personal and that it’s no one’s business what you plan to do.
Who would want them to stay tiny forever? They are sooo much work little!! I get questions all the time. I’m working on baby #5 and they still pepper me with questions about if we’ll have more. Is this really the right time to ask??
Bahaha! This cracks me up. I get this as a single woman, people constantly asking me if I feel the ‘time’ passing by. Maybe the baby fever will hit you when you turn thirty. Don’t you think you’ll have a hard time finding a husband since you’re getting older? (I’m only TWENTY-EIGHT). Ugh.. Kudo’s to you for sticking to your guns, whatever they may be! 🙂
OMG, yes!! Having twins I get all sorts of questions. People just don’t think sometimes.
I don’t think people mean to be rude when they talk about these things. They just don’t think.
I used to think people who asked these kinds of questions were really rude. Then I realized one day that most of those people are also happy to talk about themselves so personally as well. Mostly, I think they don’t understand that their boundries and another person’s boundries may be different.
Sigh. People are so silly sometimes.
Yeah… The va jay jay questions are always interesting. Although, I would say they’re more like uterus questions. That’s no better, really…
When we first got married we were always bombarded with “when are you going to have kids?” then after the first one it was “When are you going to have another one?” . really? My baby wasn’t even a month old and they were already pushing me to have another. Uhm…NO.
Then once we got our daughter…it was always “aren’t you done yet? Seriously why so many?”
WOW…when did the opinions change! Hurry up and have kids. Wait you had too many! Come on people!
My favorite response to those older people pushing for us to have more kids or be done with kids; I always wanted to say back (but never did) was “well, when are you going to die? That’s the next step in your evolution process…” but I never said it.
This decision is something that each family needs to make FOR THEM SELVES> Not have someone else tell you how many kids you can/can’t have. So what if someone wants more than 3 kids. That is ok. Some people have the capacity for it. And more power to them. Others just want one. That’s ok too. It’s no one else’s business how many kids YOU have.
I don’t get why people think it is their business what other people do with their lives. it just makes no sense to me why they think they are entitled to their opinion about matters that have nothing to do with them.
That’s so crazy and rude that people feel they have a right to make comments like this. you def have a right to tell them stay out your v-jay-jay business.
LMAO!! As Usual You Crack Me Up!! XO
People can really be so nosy! Especially when it comes to very personal issues like kids and marriage.
I hate to have strangers act liek they have the right to ask me all kinds of personal questions. it is so rude.
Ha! People say the silliest things at times.
People really are interesting sometimes lol. Your post is honest and refreshingly funny!
This is so true! People can be pretty nosey and opinionated. 😉
People are so very interesting. Your post is so funny!!!!
I hate how nosey people are these days!! This post is so true on so many levels!
hahaha, love this. This is so true. I do think this a lot when i see people with a ton of kids BUT I would never go up to them and say that. I was barley out of the hospital when I had my second child and people were asking me if and when i was having a 3rd. ummm, NEVER i had my tubes tied during the section.
Love!!! My boys are 14 months apart…… the things strangers or anyone else felt it was within their right to say were shocking!!! My reply to a nosy stranger who didn’t like the answer I gave her to the inappropriate question she asked was that I’d let her know when my husband and I wanted an opinion on our family planning!!!
