The baby questions never end!!

One of my carpenters (I am a off. man. for union) just asked me how old I was (thanksChat Icon ) and when I told him that I just turned 25 on Sunday and my 1st Anniversary is Saturday, he replies "when are you gonna have kids? I was on my 2nd kid when I was 25"
Good for you buddyChat Icon Thanks for coming to work todayChat Icon Chat Icon

Is 25 the cutoff or something? When I was 24 I got "oh..you are still so young. You have plenty of time" Now that I am 25, BAM! I am automatically old and need to bang out some babiesChat Icon

I didn't get them until this year...... 31. You're still young, I'm kinda surprised he thought that.

I've never had that one before



That one came from a "friend." If it had been face to face she'd be missing her front teeth. Chat Icon

Otherwise, I've learned to just let the comments roll, because people suck.

Everyone wants everyone to rush to the next step. You'll see. You'll be in your 50s & people will ask when you're going to a nursing home, did you plan your funeral, etc.

That's awesome. Just wait till you hit your mid-30s and the questions come with a look of pity.

Re: The baby questions never end!!

Older people just lived in a different time and they feel the need to express their opinions. Our parents for the most part had kids much younger than we do now. They think the same rules apply, but the truth is more women work now and we just aren't ready to start that young. Don't get me wrong, I have friends who started under 25. I just had some stuff I needed to do before I settled down with a family. I'm 29 and 3 months pregnant with my first.
