Why Are People So Nosy?

Since I returned to work and the news of my pregnancy has spread across the campus I have been asked a certain question quite often... "Do you want a boy or a girl?"

This question actually kind of pisses me off. Plus, I have to wonder, are some people actually ignorant enough to answer this question? As if the average person gets to choose.

Apparently quite a few people respond to this question in part with "...as long as it's healthy." I know that personally I have heard people say that they would prefer either one sex or the other and then qualify that statement with, "But it doesn't really matter as long as it's healthy."

However, in the situation that dh and I are in, where this is likely to be our only child, we really don't give a rip if it's a boy or a girl just as long as we can have a healthy baby: end of discussion. We will be thrilled either way. The only way we'll ever be pregnant again is if we finally get lucky enough to hit the 1% odds that we will get pregnant on our own or if IVF coverage is finally mandated nation wide. Let's face it: the odds are slim either way.

And I have to think back to the teacher last year who was expecting baby #2 and let it be well known that she wanted a girl since she already had a son. Well, she had another little boy. And everyone knows that she was rather pissed off not to be having a girl. Goodness, this woman actually talked about adopting from China in order to not endure the "tortures" of pregnancy again and so that she would be guaranteed a girl. It was infuriating.

So, why are people so nosy anyway?
