Am STILL a victim of these unwarranted privacy invading, heartache pain-in-the-ass questions. I already had a child, now people kept asking when the 2nd one is in tow. Sigh... I really do not know. I really really wanted another one - especially a baby girl but, I had a health condition which prevented my dream from realising... and I don't feel like blurting this fact out each and everytime these 'Kepoh' throws me that question again n again. I hated it! It makes me feel somewhat inadequate as a woman... and also as a wife. I can really relate with you post here.

I don't know why but I find that Chinese tends to ask those questions more. Even my parents who have only two children (me and my sister), they still bombarded with those questions i.e. "Only 2 ah? Where got enough? or "How come don't wanna have more?". My dad often shoot back with this answer, "Two already not enough money to support loh". And sometimes my dad will joke with us, "You three animals (my mum is included and animals is because in chinese calendar, we have those animals) so hard to take care of". haha! It's not so easy to give birth and take care of a life. Someone just not understand and keep on asking those questions which sometimes make people get frustrated. <br /><br />Anyway, don't just think too much of those questions people kept asking. For me, I'll just smile back to those who ask me unwanted questions. Not that I don't wanna answer, I just don't feel like answer. ;) cc,

This friend of mine who lives here and knows me well, keep asking me cos she has two boys and accidentally got a girl at 43. So I asked her to go and ask another friend of me why that friend also had only one kid. She never asked me now. cc,

I should make my relatives read it! <br /><br />I guess everybody in the family will have to bear the brunt of nosy questioning. Surprisingly enough, my sister claims that I get it a lot, whereas the aunties leave her alone, probably because of her cool demeanour. <br /><br />I'm waiting for her to eat her words, bwaahahaha. <br /><br />Cheers!

The problem is, that's human nature, very eager to 'kepoh' and like to meddle in other peoples' business. <br />I really hate it when those 'older' ranking relatives start to ramble on and tell me how I should lead my life.

When you're single, they'll bombard you with questions as to when you're getting married. They'll even say that if you can't get one, they can fix you up with one. Then after marriage, you'll be asked when you're going to start a family. They'll advise you that one shouldn't wait too long to have a child as we become infertile as we age - advice from relatives cum 'doctors'! Or they'll just jump to conclusion that you're indeed infertile oledi! Then after you after 1 child, they'll ask when's no. 2 coming. Then should you proceed to having no. 2, they'll ask when's no. 3 is coming or they'll just say that 2 is not enough. Aiyo I tell you ah, the line of questioning is endless and more so during family gatherings! During that time hor, must put on artificial smile on our face and go about nodding in agreement with them lah. If you open your mouth to say something only ah ... wow, world war 4 begins!! hahahaha CC,
