That Question from In-Laws, Urgh 😒

What do you ladies say when your in-laws keep hinting/asking when are you giving them a grandchild, when they don't know you've been going through a few cycles of tears and disappointment trying to conceive? Any good comebacks so it doesn't keep happening over and over at every gathering? It hurts when they drop hints/ask outright, because it reminds you of the pain and stress you had suffered while trying. [NOTE: Not close with in-laws, also not staying with in-laws] #advicepls

Your husband should defend for you and be the one to tell them don't keep asking. He should tell them what you have gone through if is alright to share. He could just tell them let nature take its course. Don't be stress and worry as the more you are, the more difficult to conceive. 🌈💪

:) Thank you for your reply! He's the sort who's more inclined to just smile it off, let it pass though because must respect elders, let them say what they want, while we take their words with a pinch of salt. Ah, I wished I know how to reply appropriately to their inappropriate remarks.

You can consider them telling upfront and nicely that you have been trying for awhile, and ask them to respect your space too.

Keep borrowing money from them , say you not enough to survive 🤣
