Ask any couple and most of them would agree that the question “When are you having kids?” is surely awkward. People might ask out of concern, unaware of what the other person is going through. For Australian mom and blogger Adele Barbaro, who was struggling to conceive, hearing such invasive questions was simply hurtful.
In October 2017, Adele Barbaro, now a mom of two, took a selfie of herself holding a sign that read, “Stop asking couples when they are having kids,” and posted it on Facebook.
