This kind of people the best thing to do is give them a one word answer and avoid smiling with dem



Since u don't wanna be rude,the only reason they kip asking u those questions is bcuz they know u are friendly and wud answer....start giving dem attitude and see how dey will develop brain

Just if I could add my 2 cents...
Over the years of my existence, I tend to think that people just don't really know how to converse with each other.
Perhaps all the "aunties" know what to say is to ask those questions.
Maybe they really don't mean any harm and don't know what else to say to you.
I totally get where you're coming from cause I've experienced and still experience it to this day.
I used to get bothered by those questions..but there is a way to politely steer the conversation in another direction if you feel uncomfortable answering. Or you could answer maybe (1-2) of the questions and then reverse the conversation over to them.
Hug them, tell them "I'm blessed," and keep it moving
don't think saying, "Don't worry about it," is the best approach...lol.
