Some questions you should refrain from asking a woman

Published

• Be sensitive in asking questions

There are a lot of topics that should be off-limits during casual conversations, but men seem to feel entitled all the time. They feel they can just ask these questions whenever they want because they’re men, and they can get away with it.

And if you’re that kind of guy, stop it. You aren’t entitled to anything. There are some things that you just don’t ask a woman because it’s just downright disrespectful to do so. You have no right to be so intrusive, especially when it comes to the intimate aspects of a woman’s lifestyle. You always have to treat women with respect and sensitivity if you want to be treated nicely in return.

At this point, you have to be mature enough to know that there are just some questions that you don’t get to ask – especially if you’re not close to a woman. It’s quite rude, and it shows lack of breeding. And you might just be ignorant, but she should not have to suffer for your ignorance. After all, in this new age of information, ignorance is no longer an excuse; it’s a choice. So stop being ignorant already. Be aware of the big “no-no” questions that you shouldn’t be asking a girl you’re not intimate with. Here are a few examples of those questions:

Unless you’re her family or you’re actively going to participate in the raising of her children, you have no right to be asking her about when she plans to have kids. You are placing unnecessary pressure on her to have children by doing so. She might be dealing with other aspects of life at that moment, and she might not want to be thinking about children yet. You don’t have the right to put those thoughts in her head.

  • So… when are you going to get married?

Again, this shouldn’t be a question to ask unless you’re the one planning to marry her or if you’re going to pay for her wedding expenses. This shouldn’t be your business at all. If you have to ask this question (which you don’t), she isn’t the right person you should be asking.

You should be talking to whoever she is in a relationship with. He’s the one who has to propose to her after all. You shouldn’t be making her feel bad about the fact that she’s not married yet by asking her this question.

  • You’ve lost/gained weight recently, what’s the matter?

Unless her weight gain or loss is becoming a health hazard for her, you have no right to be questioning her about it. In truth, you are just making her feel bad about her weight gain or loss. She isn’t going to like the fact that you’re making her feel like you’re judging her for how she looks.

How much money do you earn at your job?

Money is a big no-no question. You shouldn’t have to concern yourself with her paycheck if you only have a causal relationship. That’s sensitive information that you don’t have to know about.

  • How old are you anyway?

A girl’s age is a sensitive topic, and you don’t have the right to be asking her about her age on a casual basis. It’s perfectly understandable to ask a girl of her age when she’s in an intimate relationship with someone or if she’s applying for a job.

But when it comes to being in a casual group setting and you put a girl on the spot by asking her about her age in front of a crowd, you are only coming off as an insensitive prick who is overstepping your bounds. Learn to be more sensitive and read the situation carefully before you say anything.

…Tips to mentally prepare your child for the school year

Published

1. Talk early and often

It is never too early to start talking with and listening to your children about the first day of school. Ask them what they think school will be like and see if they have any specific concerns so that you will have time to address it over the next couple of weeks. It is totally normal to have first day jitters.

2. Go to the orientation

If your child’s school is hosting an orientation or back-to-school night, take advantage of it. Often children are worried that they will not know how to get to the bathroom, where to eat lunch, or how to get to a locker. If your school does not offer one or you are unable to make it, ask the teacher if it would be possible to stop by for a visit. Teachers are usually in their classrooms prepping for the new school year in advance.

3. Meet the teacher

For kids, wondering if they will like their teacher is a big source of fear. If your child isn’t comfortable in the teacher’s classroom, he or she will be less likely to be ready to learn. Many teachers will make themselves available for a phone or video call or will return an email if a visit is not possible.

4. For younger children, read books or watch educational cartoons

In August, local libraries will often display books about starting school or going to a new school. These materials can help children read about and see what a typical day will consist of and what they will learn in school.

5. Take your kids shopping with you

Your kids will be more excited to use their back-to-school supplies if they picked them out. Doing so will help them feel prepared and will also provide an opportunity to talk about how the new supplies might be used in the coming year.

6. Set up school “zones” and establish clear expectations

At home, establish a location for school materials such as a place to put backpack and lunchbox, and set up a distraction-free homework zone (like the kitchen table with the TV turned off and phones/tablets put away). Set up homework and study times (for example, Monday–Thursday from 3:30–5 pm) to help manage expectations and build and maintain good routines.

7. Practice your new routine

Both children and adults can benefit from practicing the new school routine one to two weeks before school actually starts. Stage a morning dry run to see how long it takes you and your children to get out of the door in the morning. It will not only help you predict how early you and your kids need to get up, but your children will benefit from learning what to expect each weekday.
