Am i being to honest? I've told work that DS is due to IVF.

[farmgirl77]

Hi all,

I started a new job 7 months ago at a small (50 people) workplace - much different from the large govt dept I was working at.

Because it is small, the 'issue' of women going on mat leave is more pronounced - so much so that it is common for people to ask those who might/ or do have kids 'when is the next one due'! (not that it is a negative, people honestly just want to be able to budget for the event - it is not ment to be mean or negative in anyway) After the last comment, I actually told the individual (a guy from accounts that my DS was due to IVF and going back for a second was not really on the plans at the moment. I was not going to make this info public but I was kind of sick of being asked.

Is this too much info to be passing on? I really feel that it is none of their business, but if it means the comments stop (which are had to handle) I wonder if it is worth it?

Any other ideas on 'smart' comments that I could retort with

Thanks
FG

you could tell them that right now you are enjoying your ds, and if there is ever a no2 they will hear it from you first if and when you want to tell them,
or if a male asks, (helps if they have a belly) ask when there going to pop?

Its your choice hun
I just think if you want the comments to stop, just say there is a possiblity for number 2, but not in the near future.

I personally dont think it's too much information to share, it's an individual choice of course, but people at work know I have been going through IVF
hope you dont get too many more questions

I don't think you are being too honest - their question is fairly blunt!

I dont' see any issue with sharing that info really - I'm quite open about my 'artificial' babies
The question is a bit annoying....
