How many of you have gotten the almost-kind-of-a-compliment bingo of, "You two are actually the kind of people who should be having kids!" Or, "That's a shame, you'd be such great parents!"

Just a word of unsolicited advice from a 48 year old fellow childfree who has just about seen and heard it all regarding these rude and intrusive questions. Your boyfriend volunteered too much information and left himself wide open for a bingo fest. We are not obligated to discuss or defend our own reproductive choices and the less said, the better. IMHO. Something as personal as whether someone wants kids and what measures they take to avoid having them is NO ONE'S business.

truth!
as a guy, I can certainly say I haven't been exposed to NEARLY the amount of KYD related questions gals have to endure. also, when asked why I don't want kids, I simply say I DON'T LIKE THEM, and that ends the topic. you'd TRULY have to be over the top NUTZO to tell someone who DESN'T LIKE KIDS to HAVETHEM ANYWAY.

I posted something on Fakebook about how having kids would be stupid and boring, and my friend bingo'd me with 1) "smart people like you should be having kids" and 2) "you don't want to let the species die out."
1) Smart people like me are smart enough not to have any because we know it means the throwing away our lives etc. in exchange for a living death,
2) Yes I DO want to let it die out, fuck humanity.
I got a few other bingoes in there too and eventually just concluded with "you all can shit your loaves I guess, *I* will be sleeping in late and enjoying all that cash I'm not throwing away." :yeah

Co-irker: How old are you?
Me: 27
Co-irker: So not a young-un anymore. When are you and your boyfriend taking the next step? K firstly I object to being asked my age. Secondly, the cheeky bastard in question is at least 7 years old as me and doesn't look half as good. Thirdly, how fucking insulting is it to call me old? At twenty fucking seven no less? Thanks for making me feel like a grandma (already sensitive about my age because I haven't achieved what I'd like to have achieved at my age
Me: Oh lets see. How about next No-NEVER.
Co-irker: How does your boyfriend feel about that?
Me: He's fucking thrilled. Not sarcasm even if it sounds like it.
Blah blah blah
Co-irker: Well when you're too old in ten years time you'll regret it.
Yep. I'm sure I'll regret a quiet and clean home and having plenty money. I went on to say "you don't have kids". "Yeah because I'm waiting for the right woman". Good luck with that, asshole.

The bingo that annoys me the most (well, they all annoy me mightily so it might be hard to quantify that) is "but smart people aren't having enough kids!" Sigh. Yes, I do agree that Idiocracy is a documentary of the future but that doesn't mean I feel obligated to breed so as to stave off the inevitible genetic decline. And even if all the smart people did decide to be altruistic and breed, we're smart, so we'd still be having smaller broods anyway. Because smart people don't have more kids than they can care for properly. Face it, we're going to be outbred by the mouth-breathing hordes anyway so why should I sacrifice my progeny to that future?
