BellaOnline Forums Relationships Married No Kids Replies to "so when are you starting a family?"

Hi there,

I've stolen a few of these from posts on here, just thinking how to reply to that awful question... Please add your own

�God I hope not�

�That would mean we�d have to turn the bondage torture chamber into a nursery � where would I keep the cat-o-nine tails?�

�In these shoes?�

�After my friend told me about her labour � if I can�t stick a melon up there to practice giving birth, why bother!�

�We�ve already sorted out someone else to look after us when we�re old�

�I believe if you can�t hock it when you get bored of it what�s the point!�

�How much do they go on e-bay for?�

�We�re looking for a �try before you buy� place � once we�ve done that we might consider getting one, but not before�

�If I want vomit all over my clothes I�ll go on a girls night out and drink too much tequila�

�I heard you have to stay at home with them all the time � people get funny about you leaving them on their own with a litter tray and some food�

�You loan me 50% of the cost of raising one and we have ourselves a deal!�

My answer to DH's very anti-marriage bachelor cousin...

I'll have a kid when you get married.

Those are great!

My reply to an openly gay guy at work, when he asked me when I'm having kids:

"As soon as you do!" (He and his partner can't stand kids, so they wouldn't be adopting either!)

Cindy

"When hel! freezes over."

or

"hmmmm.... how about... NEVER."

"why do you want to know?"

My girlfriend and I prefer lovemaking without any sexual or financial side effects.

Mike

I love that one! So cool...

"I was thinking about tomorrow but my husband is working late...guess we'll have to reschedule."

"when my tubes fall untied"
"when my vasectomy expires"

The answer that finally got my mom to leave me alone:

When you agree to let me drop them off at birth and pick them up when all the hard work of raising them is done.
