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!

It's something many people can relate to and it's normal. But it can also be annoying at some point. The important thing to remember is that this it is ultimately your decision when to start a family. Try treating it with a sense of humor but also be firm in telling them that having a child is something very important and that the timing will entirely be up to the two of you---but be careful not to offend them. They're bound to back off if you lighten up a bit. :)
