Could you give me an example of a prying question you got asked?

I find most people overshare unnecessarily. I’m always telling me wife and kids not to give detail and have gotten very good at giving minimal detail.

Example: my wife has been in hospital for weeks. It’s not something she’d want people to know about.

My mother in law was all “what are you going to tell people?” and I just said “nothing”. So when I do have to bring it up I say “she’s been in hospital a few weeks and will be another few more but she’ll be fine”. That last part I add to deflect in advance.

Only one person has had the gall to ask for more information and I told them I’d tell them over a pint some time (i.e. would you ever fuck off with that).
