[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this rude?  By way of background, one sibling did and has had several children.  Married spouse soon after meeting and first baby came a year after marriage.  3 more followed.  So there is no need to ask them.  With me and my spouse, we were a little older, got married about 2 years after meeting, got pregnant within 2 years.  I am a woman and my parents and siblings asked me right away.  Other sibling and spouse have been together as a couple longer than any of us (more than a decade), have been married 4 years, and haven't had kids.  Is it ok to ask if they want to have them?  At this point, it doesn't seem like it.  No signs of "trying" either such as not drinking, losing weight, etc.

I know some will say I should butt out. Fine but we are about to embark on a long family vacation with everyone there and it is kind of the elephant in the room.  Everyone felt ok asking me.  So is the rule somehow different when the object of the inquiry is an in-law?[/quote]

I'm really not understanding what the family vacation has to do with anything. Does not having children mean that the don't get the sparkly "members only" pin that allows them to participate? Were you going to ask her during the trip if she would like to be a surrogate for you?

It is NOT an elephant in the room. It is an elephant in your head. Elephants are endangered, set it free.

A woman's womb is her business. And her husbands is she is agreeable to allowing that. PERIOD.

BUTT OUT. seriously.

(Yeah, struck a nerve. But it still comes back as none of your beeswax. EVER.)[/quote]
