...to the sister in law would be, "then have a child yourself."

:eyes:

...another hug for you :hug::pals: good grief, some people are so friggin' insensitive.

i used to try to explain. got over that (realizing it's no one's business). :banghead:
now i say something to the extent of,"....wow--that's a very personal question, don't you think?" that usually gives them pause, and clears the way for me to change the subject. at the very least it makes it clear it's not something i'm fielding questions about.

if someone is incredibly dense (and they continue to press) i quickly saying something like,"...i've tried to be polite about this, i'm really sorry but i'm really not open to discussing this issue. despite media reports to the contrary, i personally consider procreation a private matter." and i change the subject.

anyone pushing beyond that is quite obviously an asshole, and deserves to be walked away from. ;)

i have friends who take an entirely different route. they just--rapid fire--start asking the person a bunch of personal questions...

"...how much money do you make?" "....are you a top or bottom?" "....do you smoke right after, or do you like to cuddle?" when they start to inevitably stammer and look uncomfortable she says,"....yeah---i don't like to be asked such personal questions, either."
