So, I was visiting a relative (i was 18 at the time and I just got out of highschool) in another state, and I had been there for maybe two weeks. I met the neighbors, mainly because they had really cute puppies that just happened to wander into the yard, my Aunt introduced me to them, and they seemed very nice. They were a nice middle-aged couple that had been in the area for a few years, and apparently they had known my aunt for quite awhile.
So we were making small talk, and high-school got brought up, and college... etc...
And to my horror, the neighbor asked my parents (while I was there) if I was pregnant. They also asked me how many grandkids I was going to give them.
Now, I'm not chubby or fat in anyway.. I'm pretty slim, you can see my hip-bones and whatever.. you can clearly tell I'm not visably pregnant.
This upset me for many reasons, 1.) I'm only 18, 2.) I have a medical condition and I may not be able to have any children, and I'm kinda sensitive about it.. because I love kids, but at the same time being around them makes me a little sad inside.
Is this normal behavior? Is this proper etiquette? Why would anyone ask this??
