Why Are People Sooo Prying?

There are really questions that irk me. These are the kinds that are being asked over and over again by different people wherever you go--at work, during parties, at mealtimes, during encounters at the mall, etc, etc.

At first, it was "When are you getting married?" People knew that I was going out with my boyfriend then (who is now my husband) for several years and people kept asking me when to get married and then egging me to get
 married already. I have patience to answer the question for three times probably, but like every week for seven years?

Now that I am married, people are subjecting me to another round of questioning. It seems that after a long engagement and finally settling down, they just found a way to pry my private life with more questions. "Are you pregnant now?" "When do you plan to have a baby?" etc. etc...all pertaining to the baby stuff.

Although my husband and I are desiring to have a baby, we both know that it is not in our control. God is. He gives and witholds all things, according to whatever will give Him the most glory. And I think, not getting pregnant at this time is a grace from Him. After all, we only got married recently and I think God just wants to give us some time to have a honeymoon.

After a year and a half of trying, I got pregnant and now I have a baby. Guess what the next question people are asking me now? "Are you going to have another baby?" When will these questions end?

As a person who doesn't like to answer too many questions, sometimes people are getting to be annoying. Oh well, I guess that's life. I just have to contend with them. :-)

I am equally sick of people asking me when i am going to get pregnant. been 5 years since we got married, no kids yet. it's not just the question, it's the comments that follow. everyone starts giving suggestions and recommending doctors and gynecologists. then they keep asking if i went to see them. my mother does this the most and says she's only concerned and so r other people. i don't understand. why do they want a baby for me? if they want it so much they should want it for themselves. as if i don't already feel the need. people are really cruel. dunno if i am more sensitive or what, i've started avoiding people for the same reason. stay at home mostly. is something wrong with me? i thought i would start saying, "when i learn to make a baby i'll make one :) " but i feel i can't face these questions any more. sorry but maybe i'm just venting out. my mother again took me aside yesterday and asked me to take some herbal pills. she just doesn't get it!! it's NOT in my hands. It's on
haha that's funny pattie. :D
I've often wondered why people feel compelled to ask some of those same questions. My other favorite one is for divorced people, "when are you going to get married again?" I enjoyed your article.
