Bingoing the Father of the Bride

Our office all went out to lunch a few days ago. It came up that our bosses 30 year old daughter is getting married this summer. Suddenly my moo co-worker started quizzing him; "Are you going to be a Grandpa soon? She's already 30, she will need to think about having kids before it's too late!" He told her he had no idea what their plans were re: kids. I found it quite bizarre that someone would stoop to bingo a man about the state of his daughter's ovaries. Dear God.

Or the fact that they are now de facto commenting on his daughter's sex life. Yeah, I'm sure that the father wants to have to acknowledge the awareness that his child might be working on conception.

Oh my parents got hounded at work about my repro updates. I think it upset my mother since she wanted a grandsprog so much. She once said "They bug me at work all the time"
I told her "its reallly none of their business"

Why are people so obsessed with this stuff?

I think it's because some people just can't stand it when others don't follow the pack and instead, seek their own path. I've had this happen in other areas of life in addition to being CF. I've even been told "join us," which means stop choosing what I like to do and just follow everyone else. That's what this is all about. People need to grow out of it and respect others' freedom to choose.

I know! It was really cringe-worthy! What's he supposed to do, call them every night to make sure they are doing the dirty? GAG! Nagging her Dad was SOOOO idiotic!

If your baby oven dies when you are only in your 30s, then you have shitty genetics and shouldn't be breeding anyway. That being said, it is tactless and rude to be all up in someone else's reproductive choices. Do you want to sniff my cervical mucus too? I'll save some for ya!

Most parents talk about it being "the hardest job in the world" but one that gives them the most satisfaction and happiness. I think that the ones who harp just can't understand why anyone else wouldn't want to feel like them. Which - to me - is akin to being a drug pusher. "Yeahhh, the needle going in hurts" or "meth does mess up your appearance; turns your skin into boils and sores" but "damn, it feels so good!"
