AIBU to ask my son and his wife if they plan to have children? They have been together 13 years (Married for 2). I am concerned that time is passing, but probably more concerned about 'putting my foot in it!'. I know it's not really any of my business, but I also know that my son has said in the past that he wants children and I fear that my DIL might be stalling. Any thoughts ladies?

I think you've made the right decision, Lynker, and it'd be an idea to tell your DH and DD to mind their own beeswax also. smile

Definitely do not ask.

I know of a comment made to a visitor from abroad.... ''so, do you think you'll have a little one next time I see you'''. It caused a lot of upset.

It's bad enough fending off GGM's asking me!
She's not so secretly hoping 2 unmarried DGDs might miraculously produce a GGD before she dies, bless her! GGF just rolls his eyes and their GDs just laugh.

Agree with most other here, don't say anything.If they want, or are able to have children, then they will do. otherwise assume, much as it pains you that there may not be any.

All families are different. Jings clearly has a family where people can speak their mind without offence being taken.

Such a personal question would never be tolerated in other families.

If in doubt say nowt.
