"So, why no Kids? Don't you like them?"
Sorry folks I need to vent.
Do you ever get asked this and just want to sucker punch a person in the face?
I was riding the train into Midtown Manhattan this weekend when a guy who was trying to talk to me asked me how old I was and if I had any kids. When I told him I was married and no we didn't have kids he then proceeded to ask why not. Not just why don't I have any kids but if my husband wants kids, and if we liked them.
I was on the border line of probably causing a scene and ending up on Youtube, I was that mad! I just find it rude, intrusive and well downright effing rude. Seriously! Sometimes I feel like saying mind your own business but then I look like the bad guy.
Does this ever happen to you guys? How does it make you feel?

Thankfully, no that has never happend to me. I give you credit for not punching the guy in the face, I don't know if I would have that much restraint!!! That is one of the rudest things I have heard a stranger say to anyone!
On a side note I hate when people try to make small talk on the train...just look at your phone, drink your coffee, close your eyes, or whatever and leave me alone!!

I never understand how rude and invasive people can be to total strangers. It's infuriating!!
I haven't had that specifically happen to me but I've been asked plenty of times when we're planning on having kids, are we trying, etc. etc. 
I tell people that I have a child- he's 32 years old and he doesn't like to share. I get a laugh and then MOST OF THE TIME they drop it.

I don't mind if they're being nice but he was just so rude. I am a very private person in general, so when someone starts asking me questions like that it sets me off right away.

It never ends! As soon as you have one the questions start "When are you having another?" What? I just started sleeping again!
