No News
Posted by parsingtime on October 19, 2009
Conversation with my Father in Law. So far Husband has been the only one getting these not so subtle hints. This is my first hand experience with them.
So I talked to all the people in India today. They want to know if there is any “news” from you guys.
News?
Well you have been married for four years and in India people have kids by now. So they wanted to know if there was any “news”.
You can tell them they will be waiting a long time for “news.”
I realize that this is a cultural thing and Indian people, especially family, feel like they don’t have to work on the same field of social norms as other people but it is still frustrating. Especially given that our family is privy to what is going on currently in our personal lives. They of all people should know now would not be a good time.
The number of years you are married does not correlate to it being the right time for you to have kids.

The only reason to have children sooner rather than later is so you will still be lucid/mobile enough to enjoy your remaining days when they are finally out of your house. I seriously think about that when we talk about when to have the next one. I’m not ready yet, but the sooner they’re born the sooner they leave. I realize that sounds bad but it’s the truth.
I think whenever you have a baby it will be the right time. Of course I vote for next year right after you move to Austin
