      Thank you, Chitrangada, for posting the link to this article by Anupama. I have to agree that it was worthwhile reading. I think the most unworthy thing anyone ever said to me was "are you going to have any more children?" We'd just moved into an apartment and I'd met the next door neighbor. Not far into the conversation, she looked at my two children, one a baby about 3 months old, and asked "are you going to have any more children?"  She was literally being friendly, but I was absolutely floored!

         Oh, yes children/family size related queries too esp from people you barely know. I find them invasive and  hurtful. Thanks for reading!

      hehe, thanks Chitrangada! Today too I attended a function and had someone telling me I looked like I'd lost weight:-). Some things never change. Am sure they mean well though.

   Thank you, Chitrangada, for this post.   I couldn’t agree more with the points noted in this article…especially, with those who state, “I told you so.”  And “Think of those beneath you.”

      Thanks Genna! Yes, "think of those beneath you" makes no sense to someone already struggling.

   An interesting topic brought up by you, Anupama. I agree with your points. In my family relations, some people always ask similar questions and comments, making us very uncomfortable. I keep away from them as far as possible. My children always avoid their company.
   
   Thanks, Chitra, for sharing the link to this good post.
