Mamabear…...where ever you find single women....you will hear this complaint....
No matter what the circumstance....The question is really a statement...as most questions are....about the person asking the question.....
This seems to be human nature....and, goes along with having family and friends and acquaintences…
sort of like have people....when you were little...asking "What do you want to be when you grow up?
Best I know...is, to find a good way of brushing them off....
My favorite way is this----"I'll forgive you for asking, if you will forgive me for not answering".....said with a gentle smile....THEN....quickly ask "Can I please have some more of that potato salad...it is ssoooo good!" "Did cousin Margaret have some work done?"
No use spending time hating on your family for it...life is too short.....
A pick your battles kind of thing......
