SAME! Both of our families want us to have kids, neither bring it up much and there is no pressure though. BF and I both want a couple of kids and we both get the urge sometimes, but we agree that we want to be married first.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Mothers and Babies : My mom is similar. She isn't a fan of weddings (says they are a waste of time and money) and she doesn't want me having kids until I'm married... however she has suggested a venue for me and has saved some "little things" for my future child. o_O She's a little odd sometimes, but I love her.

My mom doesn't want me to get married. She thinks I'm too young. She got married at 25, which is how old I'll be when I get married. She doesn't ask me questions about wedding planning, she doesn't even seem interested. It really annoys me and, frankly, hurts my feelings. I can't even say the word "wedding" without feeling guitly.

Oh wait. She asked me once what type of wedding I wanted to have. I said, "It's too soon to tell." And that was like, the month after I got engaged.

Ugh BF's mom definitely has baby fever and it drives me crazy. I do NOT want to have kids right now and who even knows when we're going to get engaged. That's the first step. I've also told her that we don't plan on having kids for at least a couple years after we're married..to which she responded "Oh you'll change your mind and start trying right after you get married." Um whattt? No. That irritated the hell out of me so I can only imagine how annoying it is for the women who don't want kids at all to be told that they'll change their mind.

My parents would love grandkids but they don't put pressure on me at all.

Aww, that sucks. And so hipocritical. When my oldest sister got married at 22, my mom's twin sister kept making rude remarks about how she was too young to get married...and yet she got married when she was 17! Then a year later, my cousin (her daughter) also got married at 22 and she didn't say a word about it, go figure.

Don't worry about it, I'm only 24 and just got married, I don't feel too young. Your mom will buck up when it gets down to the wedding day and if she doesn't, that's her loss.
