Vent and a ?

I will preface this by saying I think I'm being overly sensitive...but seriously I need people to keep their mouths shut in regard to the state of my uterus! H and I have a 3 year old and my family and friends think its time for another baby. I must get asked when I plan on having another child daily by someone. We want another child, desperately. This is our first month actively ttc, and I'm already stressed. I didn't have this problem before I had my son. Maybe people thought we didn't want children? It's not like We ever discussed our reproductive plans with others in the past. How do you deal with the "when are you having a baby" question?

I have been with my husband 15 years and married almost 8. We have no kids and I get asked this daily. I don't think I want kids and I get bombarded with that daily. It is fucking annoying

I don't think you're being overly sensitive at all - it's no one's business when you have another baby. It's YOUR decision, not theirs! I would tell people you will have a baby when you're ready.

It's your uterus, not theirs!

H and I get this question a lot, from pretty much everyone except my family. It is annoying but I try not to let it get to me and I give a stock answer which is generally something along the lines of "Not sure, we're enjoying traveling and just being a couple."

My sister will have 2 under 2 in a few days. I'm guessing my family is thinking I'm behind since she is significantly younger than I. People and their stupid expectations lol.

"We're not financially ready." People generally think finances are personal, so they stop with the questions. Why finances are personal and reproductive decisions are not...no idea.
