Anyone else have parent/in-laws that aren't pushy?
My parents already have 2 grand children from my sister. My in-laws don't have any grand children yet and really want us to have a baby but completely understand why we're waiting.
Most of our other family members are pretty quiet about it too. Here and there my MIL will tell me so and so asked when you guys are gonna have a baby and she basically tells them how it is.
Re: Not Pushy?
My mom, on the other hand, is a pain in my butt. she has two grandchildren on the way (the first ones) but my brothers are having kids not me. She cant accept the fact that her daughter isn't interested.
Nope. My parents and my IL's are all deceased but when my folks were alive they never pushed us. By the time we got married my parents were in their 70s and my dad liked his quiet time; in fact he wasn't too hip on little kids and all the noise and mess they bring. And my mom, who loved children more than anything, always told my sister & me both to have kids because WE want them, not because they want grandchildren.
My husband has a daughter from a previous marraige. She's 16 now, but was 9 when we started dating and my mom was happy with her as the only grandkid. We don't want kids, ever, and my sister doesn't either.
