Just tell them you can't and enjoy the embarrassment.
But you must remember to never discus contraception.

Genius :-)
For all I know one or both of us actually can't. Irrelevant really, but try telling the newly maternal that. I'm waiting for post-natal depression to kick in so I can laugh

I've thought about going down the "we can't have any" route
but a couple of my good friends are on their 4th round of IVF to try and have one, so I'd feel a bit bad.

Yeah that's awkward
The problem is that once people have kids they become immensely fucking smug and assured of their own correctness on every topic. Including whether or not you and your partner's life choice regarding procreation is actually right, or just a phase

I hate that new mum thing
a friend of mine at uni got up the duff by accident, so had to drop out. She wasn't the brightest spark in the first place, but as soon as she had dropped the sprog she knew best on every subject and was in charge of everyone. That pisses me off.

My gf's sister freely admitted that she gave birth to her brain when she had her first.

And they completely lose the ability to talk about anything else
other than how wonderful their fucking offspring is
