"When are you going to get pregnant"

penelopemaria · March 2013

Did anyone else get this all weekend? I'm not upset by it - more annoyed, but I can see it really getting to me if it takes us a year or longer. It seems like every family member we saw this weekend asked us when we're going to get pregnant. I find it really rude but I just smile politely and laugh.

No one knows we're trying.

It's the worst when my grandma plants the guilt trip on me that she my not be alive to see my kids.

Rant over....

I say we are having problems and that usually shuts them up! sometimes I get angry and have to be blunt.

I have actually been fighting a bad mood all day because of this question. It was really fun paired with comments about how two of my cousins are due within a couple days of each other.

i'm in the same boat! dh and i had a little getaway this weekend, so i didn't have to entertain this question from hoards of family members (thank god). i agree that it's more annoying than upsetting.

my response is usually different depend

DH and I got it a lot from his side. But literally everyone on his dad's side was KU before getting married or within 2-3 months of marriage, so for us to be married 6 months with nothing is weird to them I guess?

My family wa

We get it mostly from friends, since my family thinks we should wait. We have a friend couple that thinks we should be pregnant together, but wants me to be on her time schedule. Because I've heard its easy for one couple to plan exactly when to get pregn

I get this all the time, especially from my Granny who throws in the "I just want to see one great-grandchild before I die." I tell everyone: Practice makes perfect, and we want perfect babies. Most people just laugh and move on. O

We got it some from DH side. Esp because we also had a family bsbyvshower. It is no secret we are ttc, but one of his cousins have been trying for two years and from overhearing some whispered convos they are at the end <font class="Apple-s

fsumom · March 2013

We get it every so often. It used to be more but now that DD is 6 1/2, I guess most people assume we're done.

CMSullivan326 · March 2013

I get this on my mom's side a lot. They're constantly asking when we're gonna have another one...and they all know we're trying.

Today my mom kept making comments like, "E would look so cute with a little brother or sister next to him" when w

DH's family is notorious for this. He has a sister and a brother - the sister has a son (5) and isnt planning for any more. The brother cannot have kids (medically, not to mention that he has mental problems and should not have a child, so it's a bless

dancer7889 · April 2013

I get this all the time... On all sides of our families, we are the only married ones without babies yet. No one knows we are trying so I just use the "well i just started school excuse."

On DH side, when he went up yesterday, even his uncle

Milagros315 · April 2013

We've been getting this a lot from my H's family which really surprised me. I figured they would want us to wait awhile or never have them. They keep telling us we should have one or asking when it's going to happen. I don't get mad because it's obvious t

Luckily I didn't have to go to a family event this holiday so I fortunately have avoided these questions lately.

Funny similar story: mom and I were in the bathroom at a restaurant a few days ago. She know about our struggles and IF. She kno

This is terrible...... My brother and SIL keep asking us.

I finally told them when I could quit drinking socially and it would be a struggle because my momma didn't raise a quitter.

My brother's jaw fell open. My SIL shu

We've been getting it since we got engaged. Also, see my siggy.

whosthebos · April 2013

for some reason, I get this more from random people than I do family (probably bc we live so far away from family). after 4 people made comments to me in one day about my DD needing a sibling I told someone who asked "well I just had sex about 20 mi

My standard canned response was, "Nine months after I get pregnant."

babycrazy10 · April 2013

I just told my family that we were going to be married a certain amount of time before trying. That way it gives us some peace before the questioning. However, it's the friends of DH that don't get it. They all have kids and look at us like WTH. I want to

Rach604 · April 2013

We get that all the time from DH's family, but what I hate even more is when friends ask it and try to disguise - "Oh, so and so got KU, isn't that crazy? Haha wouldn't that be crazy if one of us was pregnant? No but seriously, are you pregnan

I don't mind it. However, I also just started TTC. If I have TTTC, I can definitely see it annoying me. Simply because I'd also like to know the answer to their question. Except for my parents and DH's parents, no one knows we a
