Today, my mum asked when she's getting grandkids. I had to tell her that, at 21 years-old, I hadn't even managed to get a boyfriend yet. FML

Today, my mom asked me out of the blue if I was ever going to consider getting married. It wasn't until after the conversation ended that I remembered my siblings are all either single like I am, or incapable of having children. I am my mother's last hope of becoming a grandma, and she reminds me all the time. FML
Today, after having spent years staying in school, working hard to achieve good grades, and avoiding all the bad kids, my mom accused me of having no direction in life and complained about how I haven't given her a grandchild yet. I'm 19. FML
Today, my mom had to go off on my grandmother because I don’t have kids yet and she, "wants great grand babies before she dies." My grandmother was going to gift me a baby outfit for me to get another hint. I’m 25 and can’t conceive because of health issues. I may never have my own kids. She knows. FML
Today, my mom bitched me out for still being single at age 19, and still not having started a family. She considers this "immoral," yet showed nothing but praise for my sister, who's pregnant at 15 and doesn't know which of three guys is the father. FML
Today, I asked my mum why she never had any children after me. She scoffed and asked if I've looked in a mirror lately. FML
Today, we found out that my 13-year-old cousin is pregnant. My mom then turned to me and asked why I decided to wait so long. I’m only 20. Instead of being worried that this young girl has potentially ruined her entire life, my mom just complained that her sister "gets to be a grandma first." FML
Today, I was talking with my mother and expressed my slight disappointment at how many of my friends are getting into relationships, whereas I'm still single. My mother decided to encourage me by saying "Don't worry, sweetie. There are boys out there who don't go for looks. You'll be fine". FML
Today, my mum, who always wanted more kids than just me, started crying because I'm not pregnant with her first grandchild yet. I'm 16, and this all started because I got my period and I asked to borrow one of her tampons because I'd ran out of my own. FML
Today, I'm 19, I'm at uni, I've never been kissed and the only person I have had a proper conversation with in the past week is my Mum. FML
Today, my mother urged me to "get over this lesbian thing and give me some grandkids." In front of my girlfriend of eleven months. FML

That's okay. Not everyone want kids or has had a relationship yet.

Don't let external pressures change the way you think. It's your life; do whatever makes you happy. You have all the time in the world.

My grandfather told me he expected some great-grandsons out of me in the next year on my 18th birthday because all his kids had girls and he was disappointed in them.

Next time tell her she should've had another kid to give her grandkids.

Indian families pressurise their children at an early age regarding marriage etc. Some of us want to have a career in order to settle down and then get married. Stay focused to your goals OP, career comes first then marriage, at least in the modern generation. Good luck.

I'm 25 and I've never made it past a first date, so I feel your pain.

Jesus Christ it is perfectly fine to be single at 21. Most guys in that age group are idiots, assholes, or both. In any case, generally not casual relationship material, much less serious relationship material. They only wanna **** 16 year olds anyway.

Tell her that it should be 'if' and not 'when' and that it's none of her goddamned business.
