Scarlett Johansson Is Not Ready For Kids
This drove me crazy right after I got married as well. People automatically assumed we were going to get pregnant on our honeymoon. Prior to the engagement it was, "When are you two getting married?" and then after the wedding it was, "When's the baby coming?"
So much pressure! I'm sure everyone can relate.
Scarlett Johansson is already being asked the baby question despite the fact that she hasn't been married a year and is just 24 years old. Give the girl some time to enjoy her new man, Ryan Reynolds. Wouldn't you want a few months of alone time with him as well?! :)
"I’m 24 years old! I’ve got a lot of time for that. I love to work and
I’m enjoying myself right now. Someday in the distant future I’m sure I’ll want to
enjoy that part of my life. But I’m not ready for that yet."

This drives me nuts!
I've been married a month and I think every week we're asked at least twice when kids are coming. let us enjoy being married!!
It's also the same when when you first get engaged "so have you set a date?"..."no we've been engaged 30 minutes. let me enjoy my pretty ring"
So there's my 2 cents. haha

Such a rude question! I hate it! And maybe she doesn't want kids...it's nobody's business but her's and Ryan's. losethatgirl blog

I wouldn't know, I did get pregnant on my honeymoon! It was the plan though, we scheduled my pill a year in advance for when I could come off to make the ovulation happen, though with the three week honeymoon, your chances are pretty good anyway.
I've been married for 3 months now, I can relate too. VERY sick of that question!!!

I give her kudos on that... At least she is enjoying what she can do with her life right now..

My brother and his wife get asked this question weekly.. (they've been married for almost 3 yrs) when the time is rite.. it is different for everyone.. i know i cant wait for a niece or nephew :-)
I can understand the frustration.
On a side note - she looks a lot older than 24 to me.

I wouldn't know either. We got married after 8 mos of dating and the first kid came along less than a year later. My daughter was getting asked that question a lot after her wedding. I have learned not to say anything to anyone because you don't know that they aren't trying and are getting heartbreak month after month. That would be pretty insensitive, not to mention that it really isn't anyone elses business. As for Scarlett, she is young and has plenty of time for that. Actually, I am surprised that she got married so young. She didn't really strike me as that type. Not that I know her.

I love her answer, I am going to have to use it, because it is sweet, but gets the point accross. I have been married just shy of 3 years, and I am still asked all the time. I have been saying we are waiting untill we buy a house. We just started looking, and I am sure once we are in the house we will be asked more often.
Although, my husbands side of the family seems to dwell on it more than others, so we play with it a bit. (he is the only sibling who dose not have kids yet) For a while I would only wear loose baby doll shirts and pretend I was not feeleing well, he would even make sure to place his hand by my belly when we were close to eachother, just to mess with their baby watch. And then at the end of the summer, at their family bbq, we were all swimming, and the looks on their faces when I came out in a bathing suit were priceless.

I have been dating my boyfriend for three years and get asked ALL the time when we are getting married - DRIVES US NUTS! Yes we are living together, have dogs, own a house, etc. But, our decision!

luckily my family knows that i've NEVER wanted kids, so i don't think this will be a problem for me.

She should answer by saying they are currently "polishing their technique" and they figure one goal at a time is obtainable. It worked for me ;)

It's definitely an annoying question. I've been married for almost a year and a half and get it often. Or every decision such as not having a glass of wine or something automatically leads to "why, is there something we should know?" argh. The thing for me is that I am actually very awkward around children and am not overly excited to have one. I hope that will change but some people feel like, at my age, I should be gushing over babies and brimming with excitement to have my own and I avoid them like the plague. Hopefully it will be different when I have my own. Right now my cat is my baby haha
Don't worry, Stephanie. I sort of felt the same way. I now have two girls that I adore, but I'm still awkward around other peoples' kids! We're all made differently.
Stephanie, I totally know what you mean. I have never really been a "kid person". When hubby and I were dating and I met his little nieces, I didn't know how to react to them. I tried to look/sound interested in what they were doing and saying, but I had to fake it somewhat. I think I was just not used to kids and didn't really know what to do with them. We have 8-year-old twins now and while I think I'm a pretty good mom, I am still somewhat awkward around other people's kids.
I have been married for a little over three years and am 33 years old. My husband and I have a great relationship, but are not quite ready for children. We do not get hassled too much, but people are very rude and presumptuous. Of course, if that is implied the couple looks "defensive," so we are careful with our answers. Come to think of it, I guess their behavior is controlling as well...
why does she insists on having rosacea cheeks at best or harlot's at worst? She looks like she is a brothel worker from the 18th century. She needs some acne treatment for her back.
this answer of hers seems to be like a line from her shrink and publicist. it is their typical talk.
I normally think Scarlett is really gorgeous, but I am not digging her hair and her makeup is pretty bad....
As for kids, good on her you gotta do your thing first.
She needs to make sure the marriage is stable first especially with their dating histories
