How would/do you handle a situation like this?
So, on the 4th, DH and I went to a party for his work. Everyone was there. People brought their SO's and kiddos. They had food catered in and alcohol was on the business. Fun was had by all. Here's the dealio though: DH and I were the only ones there over the age of 20 that didn't have kids. So inevitably, we were asked multiple times when we were going to have kids. We just smiled politely and said "When we are blessed with one." It was a pretty simple explanation and everyone accepted it and moved on. Well, everyone except for one of DH's coworkers. Instead of just dropping it, he looked at me, winked, and said: "If you need any help with that, just let me know." DH laughed it off and I did too at the time because I'm sure the guy had drank a little and was just being silly.
My question is this: How do you ladies deal with those kind of situations? I've had two guys jokingly make a proposition like that. One was the guy mentioned above and the other was a bank customer. The bank customer one kinda creeped me out, tbh, and I didn't really have a response because I was so shocked he would say something like that. It wasn't even a customer I was familiar with. I'm just never sure how exactly to handle it when it happens.

If people pushed beyond your first "When we are blessed with one" explanation, I usually go into specific details about our IF diagnosis and make them feel like shit for prying into things they really didn't want to know about.

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermI think the bank customer was the one that really got me. I wish I could have come up with something witty on the fly. Instead I was just dumbfounded. For some reason, male bank customers think they can say whatever they want.

@Aimothy I wish I would have thought of something like that on the spot.
@Sewilson33 That would have been a great response too.
@BruinsBabe33 Knowing my luck...I would say that and he would have a partner swap fetish, lol
@FutureMrsWright2012 That's nice and to the point. I'll have to remember that one...in case something like this happens again.
@Nfp147 I'm sure Dh's coworker would have gotten a kick out of it if I had said something sarcastic back but I was just unprepared, I guess.

People always ask us this. Its like, whenever it happens. I started crying to this one girl I used to talk to . She just asked me about it and I started crying. Telling her all about it. Sorry people, but a lot of people have difficulty getting pregnant and most people don't realize that. Frustrating. I understand the asking, but now that I am in that situation, I am always, like shut up about it. Nosy ass people. Lol
Glad you were able to laugh the guy comment. I would have laughed it off too.
On 4th of July, it wasn't really that talking about it would make me emotional but more the fact that I just wanted to drink and relax and not discuss my uterus at a baseball game.
