My inlaws have been constantly commenting on planning a child. Sometimes they bring it up indirectly in front of other relatives also, it has become really frustrating. Me and my husband have talked on this and we want to wait for some time. Moreover, I think this is totally both of our's decision and nobody else's. How should I deal with my inlaws' incessant questioning? Please help!

Since you and your husband are on the same page, it'll be good to mention this to your in laws. Let them know that you feel uncomfortable indirectly questioning them in front of relatives and hopefully they will understand and give you some space. If they belong to the type that can't get it, you could probably ask your husband to "threaten" them by saying "if you pressurise us some more we may not feel like having kids at all" (in a harmless way). Wish you all the best but the best way to shut them up is to of course have a baby! Hehe.
