Yes, I like this! Maybe I can make up one about why my husband and I don't have kids! Actually, it's getting easier--people don't say stupid stuff the older you look. Now they just assume that you have kids--sometimes I play along! (naughty!)
Things not to say to a 40 something who can't have children:
1) Why don’t you have any children?
Why don’t you mind your own business?
2) You would make such a great parent.
I think that’s meant as a compliment but you don’t know anything about me.
3) We could raise our kids together.
You want me to join you in hell, right?
3) Why don’t you adopt?
Because I don’t want to.
4) Your biological clock is ticking.
No Sh*t.
5) Don’t you like kids?
Yes, they are some of my favorite people in the world. (& they are more sensitive than adults on this subject!)
6) Oh, so your cats are like your kids?
Duh!
7) You should consider trying
A) new positions
B) fertility treatments
C) adoption
A) our sex life is fine thank you
B) not interested in going there
C) see point 3 above
8) You won’t have children to take care of you when you’re old.
And you are sure YOU will?
9) You must be so lonely and unfulfilled.
Not really.
10) If it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be.
Precisely.
Wow, Jamie, I whipped this up in 5 minutes. I must be as frustrated as you! Love you babe!
Are people that dumb to actually suggest new sex positions?!?!
