My in-laws are very old fashioned, they want me to have a baby and it has only been 8 months that I got married. I am a working woman and want to pursue my career and think of a baby later? What should I do? How do I convince them?
First of all, what you are calling old fashioned is actually generation gap. Their wishes and thinking reflect their upbringing and they are not wrong in their demand. However, I do understand your desire to keep up with your career and think of parenthood later. The best way to convince them is to give them assurance that you are not denying parenthood but only require a bit of time until you are ready for it. Nevertheless, do not keep them waiting for way too long.
