Honest answer: I have no idea—maybe never. Believe me, no one likes this answer and it rarely goes unchallenged. I have no desire to discuss it with anyone, but it's not a question of infertility or anything like that.<br> <br> My best answer so far is: well, we're waiting to see how yours turn out before we decide.<br> <br> Possibly relevant details: I'm married, female, and starting to get toward the age where people are wondering if I'm EVER going to do it.<br> <br> I don't want to be rude to people, though it's hard to imagine a ruder question, really. I'd love to get away with a funny answer that makes them laugh but still realize how incredibly intrusive and none-of-their-business that question is. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.46353 Mon, 11 Sep 2006 19:41:54 -0800 havingchildren questions rude chippie
