Jade’s Mom’s days…

Lately people (my mom, my aunts & uncles, my mom’s friends, my aunts’ friends, my dad’s friends, my cousins, my friends, my friends’ friend, etc …) has only ONE thing they ask me when they see my face …

"When are you going to f**k and produce more babies?" ….

Well … ^_^; ok, not exactly those words … and maybe not exactly that direct … Some of the paraphrases I’ve heard were "When’s Jade gonna have a baby brother/sister?" … "Oh your kid’s so cute! You should have another one!" … "Jade deserves to have a brother/sister to play with" and so on, and so forth …

Gosh darn it … it’s MY uterus … it’s not their business if I want anything in it ever again or not … I am NOT a baby factory!!!

Yeah my kid’s cute, but you were not around when she’s having a bad day or a stubborn day or a very demanding day or sick days … You don’t have to feed her, bathe her, change her poopy diapers, etc … Jade’s a big girl now, she can change her clothes, eat by herself …  And you want me to go through all the feeding, bathing and poopy diapers again???

Have you seen my room? It’s full of Jade’s stuff … The other day I found a picture of our room on the day we got married and I almost cried. It’s so different! It was lovely, pretty, VERY NEAT, it has nothing … Only a bed, 2 night tables, dresser & TV stand … now … You’d faint if you see it, and I’m afraid you really will … so I refuse to describe or post a picture of it. Bottomline is, unless I have new space for Jade’s shizz, I don’t have any space for another baby.

Even when we just got back from our honeymoon … EVVERRYYbody asks "Are you guys pregnant yet?" … huh? We’ve just been married for less than a month … People don’t reproduce instantly "poof" like magic … just mix in a little water and stir … Are you kidding me?? At that time, I naively thought I can put this "getting knocked-up business" aside for like a year. However, everybody started getting their heads all up in my uterus, I just had to give in and procreate … just to shut everybody the hell up ….

That’s why I hesitate to ask a barren married couple the "Are you pregnant?" question … Not that I don’t care about you … I care so much about you that I don’t want to hurt your feelings by asking a stupid question. I’m sure when you’re ready, you’ll let me know that you’re expecting a little bundle of joy and I’ll be happy for you then. What if I’m really reproductively challenged? Then what? Am I broken now? Can I be changed with a newer model? I’m not a fem-bot baby producing machine …

And now it starts again …. *sigh* …. T_T whatever am I going to dooo???? People!!!! I just bought a pair of fabulous black skinny jeans!!! I seriously CANNOT get pregnant now!!! (Is that an apropriate answer? I really wanted to say those words out loud a few days ago) … ^_^;; 

This is a crisis!!!
