16. I Think We're Too Controversial
People - especially women - who defy the sociologic script are scary. For whatever reasons, we are not doing what the majority of people are doing, and that upsets some.

As for your friends and family, the next time they ask when you're going to have a baby, you can just ask them, "Why is this your business?" or "It makes me uncomfortable when you ask about my sex life like this. Please don't do it any more." Or if you're feeling more confrontational, you can give them a date - the day after hell freezes over.

For mothers who yearn to be grandmas, clip those articles about women in their lates 50s and 60s giving birth. She can have her *own* baby instead of waiting for one of yours!
