rude, some people think that they are only trying to make conversation. but this is nosey and none of their business. sometimes it can even be hurtful if they are trying with no success. and for others who may not want children and that is their business. i feel sympathy especially for the women who have decided they do not wish to have children, they are sometimes treated like they are awful. i give this a 3.5 because although rude to ask i think quite a few people just think they are making small talk and do not seem to get how rude and none of their business this is.
