i know the thread has been done before....how long will you wait.....but my question is....who else is being pressured? like hello we're not even married yet! and FIL'S are off the hook with the questions and the pressure!!! my fam is ok cuz im younger.......share your experiences ladies!
We are going to try and wait 2yrs after the wedding to enjoy newlywed stuff and then have kids, both families are great with that, especially since I am still pretty young.
We're weren't eeven engaged for 3 hours when FMIL put in her 'order for a granddaughter' Her words not mine, but not even just a grandchild specifically a girl!! My mom wants us to wait until we are established in a home or about to move into one before we have kids. She said if it takes 3 years then it takes 3 years.
When we first got engaged his parents kept making little comments here and there. But FH and I are gonna wait a few years before starting a family.
My FMIL is dying for grandchildren. We both made it quite clear that we want to start our careers and travel a bit before we tie ourselves. Having kids is a major life-changing decision and we want to be financially secure and very ready before we think about having children. I will be 27 when I get married (FI 26) and I think we need at least 3 years living together and paying bills, etc. before we multiply! My parents don't care about when we have kids. They know that I am very determined and want to start my career, travel, etc. they have always been very supportive of my goals and plans.
TONS of pressure from both sides. fh will be 36 when we wed and i'll be 29. but i'll still be in law school, so we're def waiting till i'm done with school and maybe even a year after just to have some fun as newlyweds. so maybe about 2 years after we get married we'll start trying.
we will probably wait about 5 years to start having a family. There has been no pressure for starting a family on either side because both of them know we both want children. FMIL even told us not to even get a pet, to just enjoy being just the two of you for a few years and not have to worry about anyone or anything else!! I agree with her!!
My parents are not really pushing, although my dad does drop little hints. Now FH's parents are another story. His mother told us she wants grandchildren beofre she is 50, which will be 2 years after we are married. I am fine with that. I want children soon. We will probably only wait around a year. I would wait longer but FH thinks we should enjoy married life for a little while.

I NEVER wanted kids. I got engaged in April and booked the hall 6/27/06. Twenty days later I found out I was pregnant. Then I got excited but then I miscarried at two months. So the wedding is back on! But...once the ring is on my finger...i'm going to try to get pregnant as soon as possible!
