Ohhhh no pressure or anything.....

Four girls at my job are pregnant....and I hear endless oh your next comments....

Today go to my SIL baby shower...and more endless when are you guys having yours....and some more your next....

Geeze...only 2nd cycle TTC and holy cow I hope this is a short journey! Very few people know we actually started....so I just keep laughing it off when they say your next, or you'll find out when we get there. Mind you we have only been married 6 months. lol


How do you all handle these endless your next comments?

I'll be married 9 months in a couple of weeks. My friends are the only ones saying that to me, not my inlaws or parents. I wonder if there the ones not ready, lol.

I think the best thing to do is laugh it off

I just kept trying to come up with an excuse like oh at least after 1 year or not until after our trip to Europe.

It's really no ones business so don't feel like you owe an explanation! Just say soon or something generic and leave it at that.

After we hit our 1 year anniversary, we've been getting hit left and right with the "when will there be babies" comments. The only thing that seems to shut them up is "we're working on it", but even that isn't a good enough answer lol.

If i didn't want them to know, i would straight up tell them we're not ready yet but thanks for the well wishes anyway.

I usually tell people that I do have a child- He's 30 years old and he dosen't like to share Chat Icon

I think most of my family assumes we just aren't ready for kids right now. They don't need to know the details

It never ends! When you're dating you get the marriage questions - when you're married you get the kid question - when you have #1 you get the when is #2 coming questions. Just comes with the territory === or you can tell them to shut up like the poster above me said! Chat Icon

Re: Ohhhh no pressure or anything.....

Crashing, but I dealt with a lot of this, starting from the day I got back to work after my honeymoon. Chat Icon

I had a short list of comments that I'd use to shut people up. Here are my favorites:

1) A baby?!? I'm happy I can keep my cat alive!

2) We want to practice on {{insert family/friend's name}}'s baby first

3) We like our life as-is for now.

4) We're just practicing for TTC Chat Icon

5) Sure, i'll have a baby. When can you babysit?

This one is funny! But we have a close friend who kept bugging us saying what are we waiting for...that she'd give us FREE babysitting whenever we want LOL!

I am going to start saying this

it is getting super frustrating to get the questions, the looks, the thoughts etc. And it seems everyone i know is getting pregnant. 2 friends just announced, my husbands friend at work just announced and im 99% certain my co-worker is pregnant (but its way early so i am sure she wont be announcing for a while).
Part of me wants to tell people we are trying and have not been successful...hoping to shut them up but part of me doesnt want the additional questions.

We just started...but if we were TTC for awhile I could for sure see it being super annoying fielding any additional questions as well.
