I need to grow a backbone, I really do!
I was just at the gym and was waiting outside the studio before class started and got chatting to one of the other women waiting there. She asked if I had children and when I said I don't she told me I must as you're not a proper woman until you have them! She then went on to say if you die without children you leave nothing behind.
I, being a drip, changed the subject and since I came home I've been dwelling on it. Why do people feel the need to comment on other's reproductive status, and why didn't I just tell her to stop being so rude?
