Got one of the strangest bingos of my life from a coworker. I have been doing research on my family tree and he knows, so he asked how the search was going.
Me: I haven't found a whole lot but I did find out my Great Great Grandfather was a lobotomist.
snooty male coworker: See don't you want to have children to continue that honorable bloodline?
Me: ............................

i got bingoed recently at an engagement party.
first, some background: i have insomnia - chronic insomnia. i have been to a sleep clinic, i have tried acupuncture, meditation, exercise, diet, and various herbal and prescription pills - nothing reallly works. it just comes in waves and then goes away for awhile, then comes back.
so i'm at this engagement party recently and i was chatting with an acquaintance and some random 30-something year old moo. during the chat i yawned - i put my hand over my mouth and said "please excuse me, i didn't get much sleep last night." my friend laughed and said "oh - really?! and what were YOU doing?" i said i wished i was partying but i hadn't gotten more than a few hours of sleep per night in about a week. my friend starts to say something and the random moo asks if i had kids. i said no, and she came back with -everybody say it with me: "lucky you! you don't know what sleep deprivation IS until you have a baby!" i just stared at her and said "at least with a baby it sleeps through the night eventually. wish i could, too." and walked away in the direction of the bar.

happysammy - glad you are doing better. mine comes in waves...i am sleeping this week which is awesome. yay!
and yes, it IS a waste of conversation and i really get down on myself sometimes for letting people like that get to me. if they want to have the title of "most miserable" then i guess they can have it. i need to find a way to let it not piss me off and upset me, but we're only human and sometimes it DOES hurt to be dismissed like that. grrrrrr.

Aw, thank you! I feel bad that he thinks it's necessary to have children. He has so many interests, and is actually quite a brilliant person. The mofo can fix up an old muscle car like nobody's business (which I'm sadly going to miss out on, dammit!). But fuck that guy.Quote

what. an. asshole.
he'll end up married to some lumpy moo with a bunch of rugrats and you'll get the last laugh, because you'll still be fab.

One of the stupidest ideas I ever heard came from a high schooler who bingo'ed me when I was in high school the first time I said I never wanted kids. Here's her "genius" idea:
"If you marry somebody who wants two babies and you don't want any, why don't you compromise and just have one?"

Because, it's not really a compromise if you're still doing something you don't want without anything actually being given up by the other. The hypothetical second child would, in that scenario, be imaginary. The man in the scenario got half of what he wanted without giving up anything.
If she thinks that's a compromise, you should have told her that you want her to give you $200 for nothing and that if she doesn't want to give you any, she should compromise by only giving you $100.

really genius. allow me to be a nerd; just like a digital logic--there are only two states:
0-you don't have kids
1-you have kids
there is no compromising in here. there is no fuzzy logic where you can have half or quarter of the kid. even if you only have one, you STILL HAVE A CHILD. even if your parents in law or your significant other are 100% in charge of the kid, you STILL HAVE A CHILD. it is deal or no deal.
if you marry somebody who wants eighteen babies and you don't want any, why don't you compromise and just have seventeen?
