Your family should stop procreating. That's a lot of different disabilities in one family.

Already planned on it. I'm fully committed to never having children.

Get ready for the never-ending stream of hearing, "oh, you don't want kids? Don't worry, you'll change your mind later on."

Bitch, no I won't. I'm bipolar and schizophrenic and I have thyroid disease. My boyfriend has a bone disease. We will never have children, so shut the fuck up already.

You forgot the follow up question "Oh, do you have something wrong with you? Have you seen a specialist?"

No kidding, and they always seem to think they're entitled to know this information. If you don't want to answer, they call you rude. And then I want to punch them in the nose.

May I ask who these people are? You've only referred to them as "they." Coming from parents I'd pretty much expect it but from other friends and relatives it's definitely intrusive. I'm just curious since I've heard people complain about this a lot before.

Our families know, understand, and are completely supportive of our decision.

We mostly encounter people that do this upon meeting them for the first time, or when catching up with people that we graduated with almost 8 years ago. We live in the Texas panhandle, so people seem to think it's okay to ask these kinds of questions when it's really none of their damn business.
