inlaws grrrrr!
just wanting a bit of a rant i'm afraid and can't talk to anyone coz noone knows we're ttc! hubby went to see his dad today and when he got back he said his dad had been talking about us having kids (doesn't know we're ttc) and was saying that 'obviously' we wouldn't want kids for 4 or 5 yrs till we own our own house and are sorted with our jobs (we are both very happy with our jobs - hubbys parents are not but thats another story). apparetly he said to hubby "you wouldn't consider having kids in your house would you?" (its rented and fairly small but perfectly adequate, in a good area and close to family - we plan to try to buy soon but no major rush) when hubby said we might do FIL actually laughed! and said "rather you than me" hubby laughed all this off as he was telling me and thoguht it was ridiculous but didn't mean anything, i on the other hand think it was a real cheek and he obviously suspected we'd be thinking about kids (i imagine a lot of people suspect this as i've always been crazy about kids and we're recently married) and was trying to put hubby off! why he thinks its any of his business i'm not sure!
grrr anyway sorry for the slightly incoherent rant there - just had to have a moan!

With my mil I kind of had the other problem. She has been forever dropping heavy handed hints that she wanted us to have kids. Up until this year I wasn't fussed and it really did my head in that she thought I would drop my knickers just because she had a hankering for grandchildren!!
We tend to keep all our news to ourselves to avoid comments being made. When my MIL came with me to for a fitting for my wedding dress she shouted in the middle of the street out of the blue "Are your lot fertile? ours are!" I guess that was her idea of asking me if we were going to try for a baby!
