BellaOnline Forums Relationships Married No Kids Inappropriate Bingo??

I know that many of us have been "bingo-ed" in the usual places: baby showers, weddings, holidays, when someone brings a baby into work, etc. But, have any of you been bingo-ed at an inappropriate time?

For example, I have been asked while attending a funeral if I am going to have children. (!!!) I was also most recently asked while on vacation, shopping in a store for a Christmas ornament with a relative "So, when is it going to happen?" I said "When is what going to happen?" And my relative said "You know, a baby. Time is tickin!". Talk about coming out of left field! All I wanted to do was browse and be left alone, not be questioned about childbearing while vacationing in Florida. BTW, my response was "Umm, it is never going to happen. That's when".

I would never ask someone this question and I would certainly not do it at a funeral or while shopping on vacation. Have any of you had anything like this happen? I'm SURE there must be a few good stories out there!

that's funny that you mentioned being bingoed at a funeral. i was actually bingoed at my grandmother's wake! talk about inappropriate.i was so upset to begin with that i was actually speechless.i think i just avoided an ans. i remember my parents' friend looking at me like she couldn't believe what she just heard. her and her hubby never had kids(don't know if it was by choice or not) so at least a i got some support there.

It's not at all unusual to ask this question at funerals, on vacation, while out for lunch, etc.

Relatives are always being nosy at funerals - heck, someone died, gotta replace them.

As to lunch and vacations, they figure you are relaxed ans so it's a good time to have "the talk" now that they have you in a place where you can't show anger or just walk away.

that is so funny about what you said about replacing people! lol!

never looked at that way! lol
