After marriage, friends and relatives begin to question family planning. Both husband and wife have to face this kind of situation. It is very important for the couple to be happy among themselves and no one can take a better decision about their child. But after marriage, it becomes quite challenging to meet people for husband and wife. Everywhere, he is questioned about raising a family. In such a situation both of you need to keep your patience. Know how to handle it when friends and relatives question baby planning.
Leave shy
While Hearing the question of raising a family, many people's faces turn red with shame. When the person in front of you knows about his hesitation, then he sits down with the same topic again and again to harass him. When you learn to say your words openly, people will also stop irritating you.
Don't get angry
Usually after marriage, girls are asked the question of when they are planning to have a child, but sometimes boys also do not escape themselves from this question. You should not pay attention to such questions. In such a situation, you have to control your emotion. Be patient and avoid answering this type of question in reverse. And yes, do not spoil your mood because you and your partner know the answer.
Answer the question in a funny way
If the person in front of you asks the same question repeatedly, then you start jokingly answering it. You can answer sarcastically that you have a personal life and the decision of baby planning is also your personal matter. You will give good news to people when you feel it is appropriate.
Prepare yourself mentally
If you have not done family planning then there is no need to panic with questions of baby planning. Do not pressure yourself from these questions. Think about this when you and your partner are physically and mentally ready for the baby. People have a habit of questioning, so don't worry about what they say.
Partner's support
If any one is being asked such questions, then it would be better for both of you to sit together and talk on it and also find a solution. When your partner is with you, you can face any kind of situation in the world and can answer such questions easily.
Use it as an opportunity to learn or to grow closer
Some women in our communities pointed out that this question can open the door for a conversation about family history and fertility. Are there family members who have had miscarriages? Or struggled to get pregnant? What about genetic conditions—are there any that you should know about?
Know that any response that feels right is right.
Whether you choose to go with a response that is snarky or sentimental, a reply that maintains your privacy or one that opens the door for a conversation, a comment that will silence the room or one that might educate those at your table—there’s simply no wrong way to respond. You should feel empowered to handle questions and comments about family planning in whatever way you like.
