How to stop comments from the IL's!!

Would any of you say something to your MIL if she brought up babies during every single conversation?

we are TTC and it’s NONE of her business! If we told her she would tell the whole world. I’m sorry but I think it’s ridiculous that she asks EVERY single time and I really want to say something to her about it. Chat Icon

Maybe tell her in a nice way that while you and Dh would love to expand your family, her constant comments add extra pressure on the both of you. When it happens, it happens, and you'll bring over a bottle of sparkling cider to celebrate with her.

good luck and much Chat Icon Chat Icon

Tell her how happy you are that she is so excited to be a grandmother and that it really means alot to you. But that when it happens she will be the first to know and you have just a few more things on your "to-do" list before you start officially trying. Chat Icon

What she doesn't know wont hurt her and maybe then she will back off for a few months! Chat Icon

My MIL has asking about children since before we got married. DH finally st her down and told her that she needed to stop asking about kids and that her constant questions were getting annoying. Ever since that talk, she has stopped asking us. Have your hubby talk to them if you're not close to them.

My ILs are great, its my mother that can't stop talking about it!

Before we were even married, her birthday toasts to me were about my kids... !Chat Icon

I wonder how'd she react if I did end up getting pregnant before marriageChat Icon

Sometimes when you want a conversation stopped that is brought up so much that is in fact annoying you, you need to be firm. Tell her you appreciate her concern but you and dh will decide when the time is right for you.

Re: How to stop comments from the IL's!!

i have the opposite problem!

although we won't be TTC for about a year, i know for a fact that the ILs would be angry if i got pregnant! i can't go into details, but it makes us so upset to know they'd react that way. my mom on the other hand would be thrilled!
