And....like you said, when you say you (or the other) don't have children, the conversation generally moves to another direction and that is the end of the topic.




Actually, the topic STAYS on "you are lucky (to not have any)" or "want mine?" I just don't think my parents felt that way!! If they don't want their children, why keep them?? Yes, I know it's not REALLY what they mean, but still. Another answer would be so appreciated!

These poor folks. They just do not know how to handle this. But, by the Grace of God, I am educating them one by one!!

I'd be interested to know how the women who chose to not have children feel about this question being asked.

From the 1st year of the marriage she was a problem child ~ My step son stuck by her & they have two beautiful children ~ One is 21 and one is 18 now ~ It has been a long haul ~ StepDaughter-in-law was into cocaine, alchol & etc. ~ She is still a "problem child" and she is in her forties ~ I have worked at forgiving her many times but she is like a "black cloud" there is always problems with her ~ I am tired of "forgiving" her ~ probably will again ~ Anyone have problems with their daughter-in-laws?????

Hug and Namaste,

I have a friend like that. The conversation went like this:

me: I'm so sorry.
her: Why? I'm glad. I don't wanna have to take care of them, clean their butts etc. I can't wait to have a hysterectomy.
me: Gosh, are you glad your mother did not feel the same way??
