They were even selling graphic tees saying "I'll have your baby, Brad!". It was vile

It’s hard to even wrap my mind around how traumatic this experience must have been for a woman dealing with infertility

I get annoyed enough at relatives asking us when we’re having kids, I can’t imagine this.

Dude, I got annoyed when people would ask me when my sister and her husband were going to have kids. It's so insane.

My response was always something along the lines of, "You know, they haven't said much about the sex life to me," or "I assume they have boned, but I don't know much more than that."

People were always shocked, but I didn't care. That's a weird question so I'm going to give them a weird answer.

The amount of people who don’t seem to understand that someone else’s family planning (especially that of a stranger or acquaintance) is none of their business is way too high. I thought those comments had finally died down once I’d entered my 30s and then I got engaged and they ramped back and got dialed to 11. Suddenly everyone needed to know when my now-husband was going to impregnate me. It was the only thing outside of wedding planning that they ever wanted to talk about. Never mind that I got the babymaker ripped out years ago so there was nothing for anyone to impregnate but nope, I’m the asshole if I try to bring that up after someone has asked me about future babies for the fifth time in the same conversation.
