What's the rudest question you can ask a mother?

Tina Fey, in this NYer piece, suggests that the rudest question you can ask a mother is "How do you juggle it all?" followed by "Are you going to have more kids?"

Not being a mother, I cannot totally relate, but I can suggest my own list of rude questions to ask a woman (in her late 20s):
  • Did you used to be a swimmer?
  • Why aren't you cohabitating/engaged/married?
  • Is it really that hard to find a new job?
  • Did you have to rob the grave of some man who died in 1959 to find that watch?

We‘ve discussed a Burning Man collaboration

Of course this guy is discussing a Burning Man collaboration.
