NOYB

Isn't it time for another one?
You need to have a little girl.
When is the next one coming?
He needs a brother or sister.

I just don't understand why other people think they know what I, my child, and my family need. I don't question your decision to have no kids, two, or ten, at least to your face, so please leave mine and my husband's choice in our hands. It is so nosey, so rude, and so annoying to hear this over
and over
and over again lately.

Not even my mom asks, nor my sisters, not to mention my closest friends.

Maybe we had trouble conceiving the first time, and our child is a miracle. Perhaps we have been told we can't have more children. It may be that we have received confirmation from above that we are a complete family. There is always the possibility of the snip-snip already being performed. Or we just want one kid.

Whatever the reason or reasons, how insensitive for those not in our shoes to ask.

Mind your own, please, and I will mind mine.
