*sigh of satisfaction* Ahhh... you know, I kind of know what you mean about certain older female relations desiring me to cultivate the fruit of my womb, but unlike you I'm glad I have a sister-in-law who's starting to hint at bearing offspring. That means the pressure on me lessens. In my uteran empire, I hold barrenness as a threat over the heads of my relatives, and wield the mighty sword of Don't Count Your Chickens! Bwahahaha!
Heh. The Uteran Empire icon is to cheer me up with some health issues I'm having/looking into, I didn't even think about the whole "they're trying to make me breed!" thing.
But I know what you mean about the loomage of "Soooooo, when you sproggin'?" My family isn't LDS and I'm #2 of 2 daughters. My sister is older and has no desire to have children. So after several years of my being the black sheep Mormon my mother is starting to realize that if she wants grandbabies, they's only coming from one source. It makes me want to develop a cartoon, effete, English villan voice and say things like "Oh how the worm turns!" while templing my fingers, etc.
I personally vote on making a dozen chicken sock-puppets with numbers embroidered on them and mailing off each chicken to the offender(s), one by one...
I can totally relate. Strangely enough I get the "soooo when you sproggin?" from my parents who already have four grandbabies from my sister and next to nothing from the inlaws who have none. Of course this could be because my parents are from the "breed early" sect (early 20's) and the boys' are the "breed whenever" sect (early 30s). In any case, I love the icon. :)
