[quote=Anonymous]I know that my SIL ended up having to have a direct heart to heart with her mom (her dad really wasn't an issue) to basically make it unequivocally clear that there would be no children. No maybes, not later in life, no hopes, no comments, no justifications. Just a mid-30s "We do not want children and we will not be having children." It was tough for MIL but she accepted and respected it. This helped their relationship to remove the elephant in the room. It is still tough for SIL at family gatherings (she didn't have conversations with others) but now MIL can (and we can too) head it off and redirect or low-key defend the decision to be childfree for her, now that we know.
