Married - now kids???

facebookuser · 2013-02-15 16:56:26

Can anyone explain why when you get married, all of a sudden everyone wants you to have kids......I hope I'll have some one day, but just not yet! Why is it anyone else's business anyway?? surely they have interesting enough lives of their own to concentrate on! http://b-static.net/vbulletin/images/smilies/confused.png

It is for the same reasons that if you are a couple for a few years, hints about marriage will be subtly dropped or joked about.

Once married, this then turns to babies.

Reason? Because tradition dictates. Not a lot you can do about it other then reply with some stock answer that will embarrass the person questioning. My friend always says that he has a broken penis - people generally have no idea how to respond to that!
