My husband's step mom is another story. She didn't want us to have pets when we got married but we already had them so nothing could really be done. We rented their old house and they used that as a way to control what we did and when we did it. We moved out in January and they've looked for other ways to keep us from doing things that they don't want us to do. Every time I mention having a baby she (and really my father in law too) will say we need to wait until we are in our 30's to even try.  People in my family are usually done having their kids by 30 and so were my husband's parents so I don't get the negativity. I've gotten so scared of telling them that we are trying that I refer to future child we may end up conceiving as "Whoopsie-baby". Yesterday I said something about it and she said "There better not be a Whoopsie-baby". I know her opinion doesn't matter. We are married and plenty old enough to have a baby. We are financially stable and we take care of ourselves. I'm just so scared of the negativity that will spew out when we finally do conceive. Anyone deal with this already and want to offer up some experience and wisdom on how to handle it?
