Regarding "So when are you going to have kids" I've got tell you of a business experience directly related to this question.
I'm a marketing director and deal with lots of vendors. Not too long ago we were getting bids on a project and pulling in some new ad agencies. Well, it came down to the final two. Both highly skilled, good quality, creative and both had similiarly priced bids. But, what ended up determining the winner from the loser will never go on record...and this is the first time I've spoken about what drove my decision. My team scheduled the final two agencies to fly in to give their presentations and meet my team. One agency had a women who was chatty and asked me, almost before she ever sat down if 'I had kids?'
Well, if you work in the corporate world you know that men do not ask this question but for some reason women feel like it's their God given right, like it's some bazar club and if you don't have kids your not a member. Well, I bet you can guess who lost the deal. As soon as that question came out of her mouth my decision was made. That ad agency lost a big account due to one persons lack of socially acceptable behavior. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
