It may be a cultural difference Di. but when I meet people as I have at work who are childless I just dont feel the need to ask them about their situation.I also dont mention my own children until asked.




That is very good, MA! If one is infertile, it is very difficult to talk about. We should be genuinely interested in the PERSON, and not what they produce. We come into this world alone, as the saying goes.

I, too, do not ask about children. Eventually, the subject comes up. But being a CNBC'er, I know HOW to reply if someone else is! If they are a mother, I know how to reply as well. I am blessed!
