Apparently there is only one reason to go on vacation...

kjewellkjewell member

And that is to get KU.

I just got back from a week long Bahamas cruise with H.  The following conversations was had between myself and a co-worker.

Co-worker: Are you pregnant?

Me: Um....excuse me?

CW: Did you get pregnant on vacation?

Me: God, I hope not.

CW: Then why did you go on vacation?

 

She then proceeded to tell me that since I am 27 and have been married for 4 years, "its time".

So, todays lesson is: The only reason to go on vacation is to get pregnant (apparently you can't do that at home) and it is perfectly acceptable for a near stranger to dictate when "its time" for you to have child.

"You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness."

Re: Apparently there is only one reason to go on vacation...

  • I want to punch her in the face.  But I also kinda feel bad for her...that is a sad perspective to have.  And 27?!  Are you kidding me?  Try worrying when you're 40 if you even want them.

    Hope you had a good vacation though!

    I wanted to but there was a barrier that put more then an arms reach between us.

  • It works both ways - if they find out you're having trouble getting pregnant, they'll tell you that you need to go on a vacation. Last I checked, vacation wasn't considered an effective infertility treatment either.

  • Well hell, if that's true I can't ever take another vacation again!
  • I opened this post and was like duh, the reason to go on vacation is to have lots of hotel sex. But, I don't want to get knocked up and now I'm terrified. 

    What a horrible co-worker! Reminds me of the HR (yes, HR!) lady that gave me sh!t after my wedding for not changing my name. No! You are not allowed to do that and you should know better!

    My initial thought as well! I probably would have said something along the lines of "funny, I thought we were taking a vacation to get away from the crazie in our life."

  • My initial thought: "FNCK OFF"

    My 6-year-old neice tells me that I am supposed to have a baby now that I'm married, but she's SIX! not a full grown, gainfully employed ADULT!

    I want to knock that woman's head off.
