Do you live in a western country? **This is a normal and acceptable subject of conversation in the west. **If you arent comfortable talking about it, just change the subject....like when they ask you why you havent conceived, begin talking about your career, or how busy you are at home or where can you buy a certain type of meat because you want to make a nice dinner for company etc. Like, sorry that topic is not my concern - or yours - right now so lets talk about something else.
Hmm, i disagree with this being an acceptable conversation in the west, particularly when the person who is asking u is someone whom u barely know.
I have been accosted by aunties whom i barely know, and total strangers who know me just by sight who demand (yes, thats right, DEMAND) to know
A) what method of contraception we r using,
B) If we are seeking treatment,
C) If we are having a problem conceiving.
D) When we r going to have kids - this has been the most politest of the range of enquiries.
This has been since year dot of my marriage up until now.
Depending on who is asking, my responses differ from the typical "we r kids ourselves / can barely take care of ourselves let alone kids" to "I do not think that is an appropriate topic of conversation with some one who is not my close friend".
One Aunty sat her self down and tried to persistently bully me into telling her my reproductive plans. Eventually i decided she doesnt deserve my respect and i straight away told her she does not need to know the details of my life and i will not b telling her anything. She thought i was rude and left.
So my view on this, if u dont like the questions, respond nicely if u like the person or if u think they r asking out of sincerity. B blunt with them, tell them to mind their own business if they r just after gossip.
