My parents raised me that you never ask people about their reproductive plans. “You don’t know their situation, ” my mom would say. I considered it such an impolite question that for years I didn’t even ask myself. Thirty-five turned into forty faster than McDonald’s food turns into cold nonfood. Tina Fey
About This Quote

The question of what to do about one's reproductive plans is a tricky one; it is definitely not an impolite question, but it can be an awkward one. The problem lies in the fact that the answer to the question of what to do about your reproductive plans depends entirely on the person and his or her situation. A person could say that they will wait until they are sure; they could wait until they are single; they could wait until they feel ready; they could wait until they feel financially secure; or any number of other options. In general, one should avoid saying "I don't know," because it implies that you aren't willing to find out.
