48. A devious manipulative
me just had this thought - next time she goes on and on about kids get really upset and angry and tell her to stop trying to make you feel guilty for your inability to have kids. She doesn't know that the inability is voluntary - make her think it is involuntary and make her feel guilty about bringing it up around you. That should make her squirm.

Just kidding ... sorta ... - besides, then she might put pressure on you to adopt ... which is fine if you want to but only slightly less bad if you don't.

My mother (who finally has 3 grandsons and 1 granddaughter) has FINALLY (now that I'm 46) laid off giving me a hard time about not wanting to have kids.
