    I get that it can be annoying but at least people care enough about you and your family to make conversation with you.

    It never ends. I have two children from my previous relationship. I am currently single and I'm still asked when I'm going to have more.
    Erm...... I'm kinda missing a vital part to making a baby here, guys!

    insult them back say there are too many dumb children in this world and your child being the genius prodigy he/she is must have all of your attention and resources to grow a super human and counter the stupid children of the world

    I always get the opposite! It's always, "your done now right?" Since I have 3 and two of them are under 2 (2.5 months and 20 months)

    I AM done(had a tubal) but its still annoying

    Lol! You could always reply with way TMI about ovulation /sperm quality/ frequency of sex. Just for funzies.even when they try to stop talking about it follow them round, insist you continue talking about it, say " you started it" when they threaten to get you removed by security

    I get the "when are you going to have a baby" from my overworked brother (he has 7). His situation has put me off having children! My fiancé and I love traveling and working abroad, once we have seen the world, we will then look in to having 1 little polluter of our own.

    I feel your pain. As soon as our kid started waking, it seemed like people were asking every day when we were going to have another. My standard issue response has become: "We're going to put this one through college first and then think about having another one." It gets a laugh and shuts them up.

    Fifteen years of blood sweat and tears says these kids ARE my OWN.

    I wouldn't say that the question pisses me off as much as it seems to do the OP. I think what bothers me about is it's like people know that you have to have sex to get pregnant, and they are more enthralled with the idea of you "trying" for a baby than actually having another baby. And I shouldn't even say "people" so loosely. That's too general. I have ONE uncle and aunt and their hypersexualized daughters who ask me this question. They are more excited by the idea of my husband and I doing the deed to get pregnant than actually having another baby. I find THEM incredibly rude and intrusive.

    As far as other people asking when we're going to have more, I remind them that while I've only given birth to two children, we have THREE children (my step-daughter). We have a full house and our hands are full. We are DONE. I make myself clear, but I don't get mad at the inquiry.
