Re: kids
Ugh!
My Dad was the same way. DH and I were married for 5 years before little Gus' arrival. But the ink wasnt dry on our marriage certificate before he started asking 'when when when'.
My dad is pretty weird and conservative too-like, since I was married I should want to stay at home, abandon my career and get PG right away.
So yeah, I can relate
Just say "you know, we are having WAY too much fun just being married. I'll let you know when we want to take the next step"

I'm thankful that my family doesn't do this!
It sucks you have to deal with that. I'd be pretty frustrated, too!
Smart call. The FIL pretty much said that the only acceptable reason not to have kids after getting married is if you're not physically able to. Fantastic. I can't wait until they leave.
My H doesn't have a brother or I'd swear we have the same ILs. I can't tell you how many times we've been told how selfish we are because we don't have children yet, how it's our duty to provide them with grandchildren, it's our duty to have children so we can raise them to be Christians...blah blah blah. I shouldn't be surprised, these are the same people who refuse to acknowledge that I did not drop my maiden name when I married their son. I started putting "no such person" on mail sent to me addressed as Laura Husband'sName
Nice tactic! I should use this too.
It gets worse once you have one.
Morgan is barely 5 months old and people keep asking when #2 is coming along.. ugh.
