my $.02
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to add a little something .... I jsut got back from being with my family (they live in another state) and extended "family". I got the questions 'When can you get them' I usually say, "hopefully before Christmas" I don't think that there is any need tobe offended by this. I look at it like, when someone is pregnant, I always ask "when are you due?" it's the same thing. As for the question "how much did it cost?" I always find myself saying that the girls didn't "cost" us anything ... we are paying for their care and for attorney fees.
Most people are well intentioned .... I am sure that we all have said things that offend people. A friend's child is going to XYZ University ..."Wow that must cost you a fortune" or they purchase a new car, there are many instances where we, ourselves, are not as 'delicate' as one would like .....
Hope that everyone has a great day and, perhaps, will smile and say something smart next time someone asks, what we deem, an inappropriate question.
Maura.
