As a mother who has birthed 12 children, I mean 12 pregnancies because apparently I pulled the short stick 🙄 and I get a lot of questions. Most of them I hate.
I mean, there are so many questions that you can ask me. How much food do I cook in a day? What type of vehicle do I drive that can hold my family safely and comfortably? Are there any twins or triplets?
As a matter of fact, my last 3 births were at home! How exciting is that? Create questions around that. Were you scared? Did you have a water birth? Was there a doula?
Anything
Out of all the lifestyle questions that you can ask, people always go to my sex life, even knowing I am married and the children are his. I occasionally get the “do they all have the same dad?” And I can honestly say that I’m not too mad at that one because, contrary to popular belief, I think people are hoping that they are, so I always feel good about my answer.
But the questions that border on creepy and definitely none of your business people usually try to disguise it as a joke, more than likely because they know that they shouldn’t be asking. Questions like, you know what causes that [pregnancy], right? Or. You all don’t have a TV at home? 🤨
We get a slew of inappropriate questions, but by far, the most disrespectful and inappropriate one is the one I hate the most. This question makes me feel probed and examined even with my clothes on.
“Do the babies just slide out now?”
This is also the dumbest question I get as if vaginas were not a whole damn muscle or kegals didn’t exist. As if your body isn’t known to go back to its natural form or babies ruin your hole experience. Pun intended.
If the babies just fell out, why would my husband still have sex with me? Perhaps he likes feeling like the clapper of a bell? Tuh.
Kegals are my friend. We communicate atleast 3x a day. Mother nature loves me, and with this WAP, I am convinced that I’m God’s favorite.
How’s THAT for inappropriate? 🤣
