Soror,
Surprisingly, I don't get it from my mom. I get it from my older brother. He just doesn't understand why I'm not married with kids. I'm sure you've heard it "you're not getting any younger". My answer - if I'm not worried, you shouldn't be.
I'm lucky that my mother has two grandkids and another one on the way. It is somewhat awkward that I'm the second (age 30) to oldest (out of 4) and don't have any kids. But like I told my sinlings and my mother, it's a choice that I made to focus on my career and then do the family thing later. Which later is becoming sooner.
I'm also glad that most of my friends and sorors are not married and childless. So I feel no pressure from them that I need to get married. I figure when it's time for me to be married and have kids, it will happen.
The right age to get married is when you decide that you are ready. That's my 5 cents.
Hope this helps.
Z-phi,
Tiny Terror
