It's like how every physical ailment we have can be solved by going on the pill. Acne? Go on the pill. Periods irregular? Go on the pill. Hormonal imbalance? Go on the pill. I mean seriously...SisterDino is right on with pregnancy being the answer to everything for some people! And yet again, when I had this whole conversation with my friends (none of whom have kids yet) they didn't think it was at all weird to ask the question constantly for every reason (I mention I have a headache, feel tired, have news etc.)...all I can say is the childfree think differently about these things. Other people often don't think, so their responses are just reflex.
