NTA. Snapping back at baby pressure with sass and confidence!
Not the a**hole. Stand up for yourself, mama bear!
“NTA. I put up with almost 30 years of people nagging me I should have kids. ‘Oh you’ll want ’em someday! Who’ll take care of you when you’re old?!’ Etc etc ad nauseum. Guess how many kids I have? 0. When people would hassle me over it my standard response was, ‘well, I saw what my mama had to go thru with me, and I was just too chicken for such as that.’ Most people laugh at this and admit I have a good point. People have an idealistic attitude towards having children, if they didn’t humanity would have long since gone extinct. That doesn’t give them the right to nag others to death. You held up a ‘reality mirror’, not your problem if they didn’t like what they saw there. As for your husband, he needs a stern talking-to himself for not taking better care of you; he should have been deflecting these nags off you all along, not b!tching at you for standing up for yourself! Remind him: poke a bear, get bit!”
