So why did you bother to get married then?

Tell them you decided not to have kids, because you have seen their kids

(just kidding)

Serious part is that the ones that ask do nothing but complain about their kids, their husbands, their lives, etc. No one who has ever asked the question is a poster child for having kids and leading a happy life.

Listening to THAT song was what got me to decide I should take the plunge. (And I haven't looked back, nor do I intend to).

I'm sorry Garry, and no offense... but this just cracks me up!

At my family functions.I always get the question, when are you getting married? I get sick of hearing the same question over and over again. If it happens it happens.

If ya want rude....

"I dont need the tax credit like you and that loser husband of yours do"

OR.... just turn the question back around on them....

"Why didn't YOU use a condom??"

The question doesnt even dignify a reply. I would "give 'em a look" and walk away!

My sister gets that question all the time, too...

Tell 'em - "We've considered it.... but, it would just be too hard to convert the BONDAGE CHAMBER into a nursery!"

At the very least, that should get them away from you.

and cut down on them asking you to babysit in a pinch.

Or how about,

"I've thought about it, but look at what children have done to you."

Because, as I've found, its cheaper to gallivant across the country when you are paying for one.

"I operate on the same theory as the guy who likes to trade in the current model for the new one when the ashtrays get full" might also work.

Ok I have USED this one. It was 'well, the extra bedrooms are the s&m dungeon....I don't feel like child proofing the equipment in there'

Good excuse. And it sounds better than the truth. "No woman will have you"
