  My mom just flat out sent me a picture of a wedding dress the other day. No text, no questions, nothing. I called her and was like 'WTF mahm?' and she said 'Oh, I was just looking, this would look lovely on you in a summer wedding, right? Like.. this summer?'

  
  

  I got the creepy vibe and shut her down. Not yet, mom, not yet.

  My experience is those types of questions never end.

  
  

  When I was pregnant, I had co-workers asking me if I was practicing my kegels, if I'd tried having sex to get the baby out, and commenting on my size all the time. It was rough.

  
  

  And now that baby is almost 1, I am getting constant comments about working on the next one.

  
  

  It never friggin' ends. 
  
  Vent about it here, and work on your bean dip and smiling and nodding. That's about all you can do, unfortunately. It's annoying, but at least people are interested and care, right?

  People never grilled me about our relationship.  Then again, I got engaged when I was 22 and married at 24.
  
  However, since we've been married, my 86 year old Portuguese grandmother has demanded we start making babies.  DEMANDED.
  
  Last time I saw her, she pulled me into her bedroom and took out some baby bonnets and booties that she had crocheted.  One white set, one yellow, one pink.  She said (in Portuguese):
  
  GMa:  "You're planning on getting pregnant this year, right?" 
  Me:  "No.  I'm only 25.  I am not even employed right now.  I'm not in a rush.  I have time."
  GMa:  "YOU have time.  But I don't.  I'm already 86 years old.  If you got pregnant right now, I'd be 87 by the time the baby was born.  HOW MUCH LONGER DO YOU EXPECT ME TO LIVE?!"
  Me:  Speechless.
  GMa:  "See...I crocheted some things for the baby.  This one is white, for the baptism.  This one is yellow, because I don't know if it will be a boy or a girl.  This one is pink...because it had BETTER be a girl."
  Me:  Runs away.
  
  So no...you're not alone.  I'm sorry.  I have no good advice except smile and run away.

  That is a hilarious story and terrifying at the same time. What did you do with the booties and stuff?

  
  

  I think I may have the opposite problem of most on here when it comes to babies, though. My dad would like grandkids eventually, I guess, but my mom always tells me not to do it. Always, usually without any context in the conversation we are having at the time. I wonder which one of the three of us kids inspired that advice...

  Five months after BF and I started dating we went on vacation to Mexico. When we came back we went to my friend's son's christening (baptism? I can't remember). Anyway before the mass, my friend's H turns around and say to my BF in Polish: "did you give her a ring?" My BF says to him: "no, we've only been together 5 months"
  
  They still grill us about an upcoming engagement, but I bean dip hard core.
  
  I also have a friend who thinks she's "psychic" and swears that BF is going to propose on vacation this year.
  
  BF's mother is OBSESSED with us having kids so at least she's not riding my a$$ about getting married.
  
  My mom just wants to see me get married in a church other than that she doesn't care what I do (thank goodness)

  People are so nosey!

  
  

  What blows me away is that BF and I are both still in school, don't live together, just doing the good ol' college thing and people are up our butts about it. Don't get me wrong... I'd say yes if BF popped the question tomorrow. But I don't expect it. Our ticker may have clocked a pretty decent amount of time but we're both still so young. 

  
  

  The kicker: My mother decided to pick a fight with me last week. About whether or not I'm going to get married in the Catholic church. When I deflected telling her, honestly, that's not something we need to worry about and that we haven't talked about it. She got so mad. It was ridiculous.
