Finally! How to answer one of life’s rudest questions
Friday, August 11th, 2006This is a question that is often asked and most people don’t realize how hurtful it can be to some people. Even if they aren’t trying its a very personal question.
How to answer is always a dilemma for the person asked. How much detail do I tell this person? Do they really want to know? Is it going to open up a line of dialog that we’ll both be uncomfortable with?
So here it is:
Q: When are you going to have a kid?. (kids or another child)
A: We’re not on a schedule. It’ll happen for us when the time is right.
Short. Simple. No need to give details.
