Parents will always be happy once their grandchild is here, you are in the perfect situation to have a child so I don't get it!
I know how you feel about the too young, OH parents are kinda the same, we are 22, we aren't trying for another 2 years because we are getting married, we have our own place, he is working full time, i work part time as well as college but by the time we try i'll be finished and working full time again! When OH's sister asked when we were thinking about kids (we have been together 6 years) we said probably after the wedding and his mum asked if we weren't too young still... he would be 24, i'de be 23, we will have been together 8 years, lived together about 6, both working (although seeing as i plan on being a SAHM it's not hugely important for me to work full time) .. i don't know what else they really want us to do? They said they would prefer us to own our own place first (we are council) but we live in such a good place, the neighbours aren't great but the house is right near the best nursery, primary and secondary school in our county, it is close enough to my work and college and his work, it's right near the beach and the biggest park in town, right near the train station, high street, library ... there are ex council houses in the street over selling for like 100 000 and if we were to buy one of them our monthly "rent" would be double what we have it now .. She doesn't understand why we don't want to buy because to her it's so important but to us it's not that big of a deal.. yes we would rather live in a nicer area in terms of some of our neighbours are clearly on drugs, some have never worked a day in their lives but we don't associate with them and they never bother us
Honestly, i'de say don't live to please your parents, i bet you when you are pregnant they will be too busy being excited to even think negatively!
