How many times have you been asked if you planned on having any more kids? It seems like as soon as a couple gets married everyone starts asking them when they are going to have children. When you do decide to have children the questions seem to stop, but only while you are pregnant. It seems as soon as the baby arrives people start to question "When are you going to give this beautiful baby a brother or sister?". Sometimes the children themselves start asking if they can have a brother or sister. Deciding to have a child or children is a highly personal decision that should be made by a husband and wife. Unfortunately, some people feel it is perfectly okay to ask the intimate details of others' personal relationships. They seem perfectly clueless that this issue is really none of their business. While there is little you can do to completely stop all the very personal questions; you can stop them in their tracks politely from asking further questions. Here are a couple things you can tell your nosy friends, family and acquaintances. If you and your partner haven't decided whether to have children in the future you can say: "Actually we are quite happy the way things are now." "When and If we decide to have (more) children you will be the one of the first to know." This helps whomever is asking to feel in the loop. If you feel the person was being overly personal or nosy you can tell them: "Boy, that's a very personal question." and then change the subject. Return with a question about them such as "How many kids do you have and why did you stop at that number?" Don't do this unless you want to know the answer or you want to change the center of attention to them and off yourself. The easiest way to show you are uncomfortable answering is to completely ignore the question. Just end the conversation or change the subject. It really is none of their business whether you and your partner decide to have a child. Hopefully this will help stop the questions from the people you see most often.

Whether you do it all in one day, one weekend or spread it out over a couple weeks just get it done. Make a plan and work it. For example: windows on Saturday, kitchen on Tuesday, floors and walls on Sunday. Great Site http://www.PopTropica.com/ Here is a site for your kids. It's an absolute favorite of my kids and a lot of kids at the school where I work. It is a fr-ee site – you don't need a paid membership, buy credits, or anything like that. It entertains kids from age 5 to 10 years of age. There are a variety of games for them to play. Just like anywhere online I advise parents to please check it out for yourself before you allow your kids to try it on their own. What's Ahead Next newsletter will be out April 2, 2010.
