There were MANY things that were considered “normal”, “acceptable” and “customary” decades ago. But that doesn’t mean that those things weren’t wrong or in this case…rude.
Its ridiculous for you to compare someone asking about when my wedding date is versus asking me when I’m giving birth. A wedding is a celebration that includes family/friends/community etc. Last time I checked, conceiving a baby the natural way only required two people. In addition, plenty of women out there have trouble conceiving and go throug IVF or other routes. Why put them in a situation where they’re forced to discuss a subject that might be painful for them?
You are more than welcome to disagree with me. You don’t mind others asking you questions about your pregnancy status…then good for you. :k: But I consider family planning to a be private matter between husband/wife. And I treat others the way I want to be treated. I would never make ASSUMPTIONS regarding another woman’s fertility and say something that could potentially be hurtful to her. And it it would nice if I got the same respect from others.
