[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP here. This approach might work for some, but my MIL has no concept of boundaries. To hear, hearing the word "No" means "I can keep asking until someone changes his mind." Hearing the words "We'll let you know when there is news" means "I'm going to keep asking until there is news." She is not versed in the art of context clues or subtlety. [/quote] PP with the vague response here. You are going to need to be very direct in that case. I would say something like, "MIL, DH and I know how excited you are to have grandchildren and we hope to someday start a family. But for now, this is a topic that makes me uncomfortable. Please stop asking me about our plans." Or you can have DH deliver that message. Chances are high that your MIL doesn't want to ask your son about baby-making.[/quote]
