Sometimes I think, if you give their nosy stupid questions an equally stupid response, they'll be so shocked by the ridiculousness of your response that they'll become speechless, and that's your signal to walk away.....or they might walk away first.
I'm contemplating that if the next time an aunti asks about me not working, I'll tell her, "I make more money from home." Then she'll look surprised and ask what I do at home. I'll tell her, "I get paid $5000 every time I get asked a nosy question about my personal life." (Now that's a satisfying answer).
Come up with a dumb response for their questions. If they are fat and ask, "Do you know how to cook?"....Look them up and down and say, "You really think more food would be the best solution?"
Or id she bombards u with questions "When do you wake up?" "Do you know how to sew?" ** **"Do you clean the house?" Say, "Didn't know you were lookin for a maid. Sorry can't help ya there."
**
If she asks you, **"How come u don't have a baby yet?" Ask her how much she weighs. Or ask her how much money her husband makes and gives to her on a weekly business. Ask her how steamy her LOVE LIFE is. And if the Aunti gets offended and says, "That is a personal question, badtameez" Then you scream at her "So are my baby making plans!!!!!"
Or if she asks "When are you having a baby?" ** Start blushing and smiling and say, **"Oh I'm so flattered at your desperation for knowing every detail of my personal life. I feel like a VIP. Well, since I know that you'll probably die if I don't inform you of my baby plans, i'll make you a deal. If i become preggers, you'll be the first person I tell. It's the least I can do make your dull life a little more interesting."
Or here's an idea. Come up with a ridiculous single response to use for EVERY **question. That response could be "family secret." Examples: **So do you know how to cook? "Family secret" What time do you wake up in the morning? **"Family secret" So do you have any friends? "Family secret" **So what are your hobbies? "Family secret". She'll think u're so weird, she won't bug you again!
Of course most of us are too RESPECTFUL to go around harrassing people in general, LET ALONE AUNTIES, with nosy questions. SO we just end up giving a polite vague response and making a getaway. All these brilliant cheeky responses come to us WAY LATER...when the auntis have left. LOL!
with all due respect...if someone is to treat your own mom that way...what would you do? i'm sure your mom is the coolest in the whole of Antarctic...but then these aunties are also moms of someone out there [whether they know or don't know is a different story].
if they are nosey then it won't kill you or others to show some patience and respect. is this how you react towards your own parents if they become nosey or start to ask you questions you think are stupid..?
