It’s not all about me!

So two of my friends announced their pregnancy this weekend. I’m really happy for them of course.

But I don’t appreciate people then asking about my plans to have children… Can we not just focus on the happy couple and leave me alone please? 😂

Ask me about the house, ask about my puppy, ask about my career… Don’t ask me about something outside of my control!

I have had this so many times and it’s nobody’s business and people still ask knowing I have gynaecology problems. It’s rude and simply none of their business 😀

Love your dog, beautiful 💜🖤🐾

I’ve had this question many times and instead of brushing it off or giving minimal information, I say the plain facts and most people seem shocked or uncomfortable about it…… which I think is fair enough given they asked an uncomfortable question, time for them to feel uncomfortable!

I say things like…… “I really wanted children, but I have a chronic condition that affects my reproductive system. I tried but I wasn’t blessed with kids, however I was blessed in other ways.”

It really shuts people up and is pure honesty!

I make sure I make these people as uncomfortable as they make me. Had to hear this so many times from people that know nothing about my life and even from doctors. I personally don’t want and never wanted kids regardless of my condition and now when people ask me this question I just say I can’t have children. It does shut people up and I love their awkward reaction. Hope they get so embarrassed that they never ask this to any other woman, ever!!!
