If you have had your first blood, then you are clearly a woman with duties to fulfill. Act fast before you become a disheveled matron of 25 whom no man will touch.

Tell them the same thing I tell my parents when they asked why my husband and I haven't procreated yet: it will happen when we want it to, and it's not your decision or your business when it does.

It's ok op. They just probably want to see grandchildren before they die. Plus they're old it's not like their opinions will mauger in the next 10 years (hope the butthurt FML community knows I'm joking)

I see their point, most girls are knocked up at least once before 17 in the **** capital of the USA.

It's okay, Op. Most of the time grandparents like things to be how they were in their day. I bet they are proud of you too.

Look, OP, I know this is probably hard to see, but they just want what's best for you. If you don't hurry up and find a husband to procreate with, how are you going to make fun of YOUR granddaughter for things that you perceive as shortcomings but that are actually responsible and right for her?

Grandparents can be like that, older generation standards. Mine, although they don't attack me or think I'm a failure, they also pressure me with the marriage and child stuff. They've been doing it since I was 17, "got a bf yet, we want some great grand babies," "when I was your age, I was already moved out and had 2 kids." That's cool grandpa, but me and my education come first, marriage is at least 5yrs away and kids are at least 10. You should confront them, tell them that you're barely an adult, you just got your independence you want your own life before you become responsible for someone else's.

get a doll and say that is your child

Time to prove them wrong op. . . Not necessarily the spouse part, but do something great to show them up, or for yourself for that matter. Use said criticism as your fuel to kick ass

Better than pregnant at 16
