Dealing with inlaws before pregnancy?

Most people don't realize how much of a loaded question that is. I think you did the right thing by letting them know how you feel.

My husband and I always got the questions too as we didn't get pregnant until we were married for three years. Most people didn't realize that we were having trouble getting pregnant. Once the problem few understood that, the questions stopped.

It really made me evaluate how often I asked the question. Because I never know the situation and could really hurt someone by asking what I had considered an innocent question.

Good Luck when you do decide to try!

Well it was just the opposite with my in laws. the mother in law felt that she was too young to be a gma (which is what comes with having her kid at 15) and when we started trying, she would tell everyone (right in front of me) how she hopes that the whole baby thing doesnt work out. I finally got ticked enough to tell her that she could adapt to it or not be a part of this family and what it brings. And how she has no room to talk about two grown, successful, adults choosing to have a child when she so selfishly got herself pregnant at age 15 just to keep herself in an abusive relationship. So, I say give them a taste of their own medicine. Ask them to stop, and if they do not, then throw it back in their faces

telling them that you want to wait untill you are ready is the best answer , its not being rude , dont feel bad about yourself everyone goes through being pressured. as much as i want to have a baby i no its not the time to. so having everyone around me talk about it is very difficult. just stik to what you think is best for you. make your self happy first then you can think about what they want. hope this helps you out!

I think you did the right thing, and you should just stick with it!

start a family when you guys are ready, and dont let anyone convince you otherwise.

goodluck

Just tell them, when you are ready, you'll start trying. My mother in law is very nosey. And this time it just happens to be our due date is her birthday, so she is all ecstatic and wants to have us induced if I don't go into labor. haha..nope, baby comes when baby wants to come!! But be honest and truthful an dget your husband to say something to. Don't make it look like your the bad person.

have your husband go to his parents alone and tell them that this talk is really upsetting to you both. and that when a baby is coming they will be the first to know and not before. and that all this baby talk needs to cease.

When you are pregnant, I wouldn't tell them till you were far into it. They seem a little pushy. You don't want them ringing up every day when it's close to your due date, asking constantly if you have gone into labor yet...

it gets worse when you do have a baby my mother in law is obsessed!

she has an opinion on everthing we do, or should be doing!
