Tell this person discreteley that you have had a tragic experience with children and mentioning the kids is upseting you! will shut her up quick enough.ZEGAR said:Now I put my hands up and state right now that I do not have any children...I dont dislike children..I think they are great and cannot wait to have my own BUT..
A work collegue of mine talks constantly about her children..Every Monday morning I get to look at pictures taken over the weekend of the various escapades.
Daily I get updates on what time they woke/went to bed/napped/coughed/did a wee/a poo and I have the priviliage of getting in depth descriptions of various medical complaints.
I know children are the world to their parents but I have never come across this level of intensity before..Every conversation gets around to the children...
Is it because I dont have any of my own that I find this very annoying or is it just annoying......
Just tell her you're not interested and otherwise avoid talking to her if she only discusses a single topic that causes you so much grief. Hardly rocket science...ZEGAR said:Now I put my hands up and state right now that I do not have any children...I dont dislike children..I think they are great and cannot wait to have my own BUT..

If she takes offence at you saying (as seems to be the case) that you are not interested then that's her problem. If you are unwilling to be honest with her then it's your problem.ZEGAR said:Of course its rocket Science..I work with her and dont want to upset her and cause tension.
