As if all the ones I found were chosen becase they were somehow not nice. But my Mom is the worse. She has 8 grandkids and 8 great grandkids thanks to my 3 siblings but she always asks me, the oldest and still single "When am I going to see grandkids!" Open your eyes Mom! <BR/><BR/>Great list and thanks for visiting mine.Dane Bramagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368506914343732128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340822.post-58996964693291304992007-06-01T10:04:00.000-06:002007-06-01T10:04:00.000-06:00I would get slap-happy too!My partner-in-crime and...I would get slap-happy too!<BR/><BR/>My partner-in-crime and I have been together for just under 20 years (we met in high school), and we're in a similar boat - for the first ten years it was the married comment, now... insert "pregnant" instead of "married".<BR/><BR/>Sigh.

Then once I had the ring, it was, "so when's the wedding?" Now, even though we aren't married yet, I guess they've gotten bored with that. Now it's "So, you need to have a baby already." Gee, thanks, I couldn't make that decision on my own. Glad you told me it was time.<BR/><BR/>The rude questions don't stop; they just get replaced by other rude questions.M.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074688590930796183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340822.post-88744689501495896692007-05-31T11:53:00.000-06:002007-05-31T11:53:00.000-06:00Haha, I was gonna add the part about once you get ...Haha, I was gonna add the part about once you get married they want to know when you'll have kids.<BR/><BR/>Great list, I like the italicized comments the best.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401807675546808620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340822.post-88345397262715778012007-05-31T11:31:00.000-06:002007-05-31T11:31:00.000-06:00Totally unbelievable that anyone would ask those q...Totally unbelievable that anyone would ask those questions.TeaMousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11601247285056038354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340822.post-69148668611823896122007-05-31T10:35:00.000-06:002007-05-31T10:35:00.000-06:00thanks for sharing this list with us this weekthanks for sharing this list with us this weekAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911773829437982808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340822.post-60949185585774774512007-05-31T10:32:00.000-06:002007-05-31T10:32:00.000-06:00QTPies7-That's the best response ever!

"When are you going to have kids?" then when you have a child "Are you going to have another?" If you have two boys or girls "Are you going to try for a boy/girl?" If you have 3 or more kids "Don't you know what causes that?" "Don't you know what birth control is?" "Are you done yet?" And I'm sure if you choose not to have kids there are tons more! And if you can't have kids and are trying "Just relax and it'll happen." or "Try to adopt, you'll end up pregnant." <BR/>There is no end to the rudeness in people! You just have to have humor!<BR/>People ask me all the time if I know what causes that, I have 7 kids, and I anwer "Yes, and we're really good at it!" Nothing shuts a rude person up faster!Qtpies7https://www.blogger.com/profile/04612364762900912663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340822.post-66728899376780140942007-05-31T10:01:00.000-06:002007-05-31T10:01:00.000-06:00Awesome.

(Wow, just what I always wanted...to be so wonderful that I scare men away.)<BR/><BR/>2. "Marriage is no bed of roses. You shouldn't be in a hurry. It's really hard sometimes." (Do I look like I'm in a hurry? And I do have a firm enough grasp on reality to realize it will be hard.)<BR/><BR/>3. "...but I'm sure you'll be married by then." (Ok, great, so if I'm not, then does that mean I'm officially a loser?)<BR/><BR/>4. "You're too picky." (Actually, there's a lot of truth in that statement, but still it annoys me when people say it.)<BR/><BR/>5. "Well, can I introduce you to so-and-so?" (That one drives me insane.)<BR/><BR/>I could go on for a very long time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340822.post-75055924675256078822007-05-31T10:00:00.000-06:002007-05-31T10:00:00.000-06:00Imagine being unmarried by choice with kids.

I apologize to all single people I have offended. I promise to keep myself in check. I loved your post. I think it is awesome. When I was single, I felt much the same way about a lot of them.
