What should I do? Or what should I say?

Question

My older brother and his wife don't want any kids, and have made that clear. My family is fine with that, except for my parents, who for some reason, are pressuring them into having children. It's gotten to the point where my parents are even asking my boyfriend if he wants kids. What should I do?

Answer 1

I say the best thing for you to do is tell your parents that it really is none of their business and they should just leave it alone, maybe down the road in a few years the will have grandchildren. But they shouldn't be asking and pushing about it so much because it could lead to your brother and sister in law drifting apart from them in the future. And It could also add a lot of unwanted pressure to you and your boyfriends relationship.

Answer 2

Parents will be parents...ignore them and try to keep positive. Remember it is your life and your choice.

Answer 3

JUST TELL YOUR MOM N DAD U GOT A LOT OF LIVING TO DO BFORE U WANT KIDS,,AND THEY SHOULD LAY OFF YOUR BROTHER N HIS WIFE,CAUSE LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD,THEY JUST MIGHT CHANG THERE MINDS,,,PEACE

Answer 4

Your parents seem to interfere too much.

The person who decide whether your brother has children or not is your brother, not your parents.

It's his human life, not your parent's.

Of course, this is applied to you.

Answer 5

say nothing.

Answer 6

wow! I thought parents always tried to protect their children from pier pressure. They obviously want to be grandparents real bad. Tell them to at least wait til you get married.

Answer 7

tell them your biological clock just isnt ticking yet. they can be patient. having kids is irreversible. live your life before you do it.

Answer 8

Nothing, it sound like that is between your parents and your brother
