Dear Queenie,
My husband and I have been married for several years and all our families can talk about is when we’re going to have children. We both have advanced university degrees and good jobs with prospects for advancement and we are finally able to start putting away something for the future, but they never congratulate us for what we have accomplished, they only want to talk about us having children.
Queenie, I’m getting tired of being polite to them. What’s a good answer I can give to shut them up?—Fed up
Dear Fed up,
Tell them you will have children when you are ready and do not wish to discuss the subject any further, and if they persist you will leave. Then do so if necessary.
If this happens when the interrogator is a guest in your home, start talking about something else entirely and do not let them interrupt you.
