Babies
steven’s baby comment on VivBlog got me thinking about all the times Celeb and I have been asked when we’re going to have a rugrat.
Disclaimer: This blog is not directed at steven’s, I realize she was just trying to have a bit of fun.
I don’t mind the occasional questions from family or friends but from people you don’t know but the nagging, it sucks. Why is it any of your business? For example, I couple of weeks after Celeb and I had been married, his Mexico grandparents drove to C-bus to have lunch with us and they brought a couple with them (I’d never met these people before). Other grandma (the friend) and I hop in the car to drive into town, as I’m pulling out of the driveway she asks “So when are you going to start having babies?” WTF?
Over the course of the last year, it’s only gotten worse. The two worst culprits are my sisters. SIL2 told me yesterday that she couldn’t wait for me to have a kid…have you’re own damn kid. Now that I’ve written this, I’m sure I’ll never hear the end of it from them.
I think the next time someone I don’t know well asks me, I’m going to tell them I can’t have children and start crying!

Good for you. My current thoughts are to tell them that we had one, but we lost them on our last vacation and the authorities won’t let us have any more.

Actually, I always prefered the comments/questions from strangers because you can give them any kind of retarded answer and not care what they think. With family and friends I always feel like I need to provide more thoughtful responses because whatever I say could come back to bite me or even my potential children in the butt some day.
I hope the baby questions fade out for you as they have for us over the years.

Tell them the truth. You’re trying like crazy to have a baby.
Perhaps they’ll have better luck than me in explaining to you guys that anal sex will not lead to babies.
You guys are idiots.
Enough with the butt sex already.
No wonder celeb always has roid problems.

i usually reply that we’re still just practicing, trying to get our technique down…that usually shuts them up, especially older people.

I nagged you because I can. Someone in our family has to have children and you’re married.
Were you serious when you said you can’t have babies?

just yesterday at the bank, the teller (who lives just up the road from my mom and used to work with my mom) asked if we had any babies on the way. i told her, nope, still just practicing. she was a bit taken aback, and then said, “well, practice makes perfect!”
