i'm (merely) making the distinction that i choose to not have children, at this time. nothing more or less. the fact i've made a choice. i feel it's important to make that distinction, as it's irritating to get the, "...oh are you barren (unable to conceive)" comments, etc.

while i understand the desire to be sensitive of others (and generally attempt to be respectful of that)i'm not sure if in this case, it's possible. unfortunately it's a given that EVERYONE seems to feel entitled to comment (and/or judge) a woman's choices.

i'm attempting to state,"no, i'm not unable to conceive, i merely have no desire to do so, at this time." not that it's anyone's business. i've found stating it as such discourages further questions, (and invasive prodding by the nosy).
