She doesn't give a damn about how many sleepless nights we have, how many diapers we have to change, how pregnancy and childbirth would destroy my body, how much money we have to spend to get the latest and greatest for our baby .

i have to agree with your steak comment

and i also want to add that while i know parenthood just isn't some people's cup of tea, i think it's totally worth it!!

For you, it is worth it. And I respect your choice.

I've made a different choice. I hope you respect my choice.

The problem is that my mother-in-law does not respect my choice. Come hell or high water, she wants her grandchild. And she will not stop nagging me about it until the day she dies. And that frustrates me - I will not have a child for her.

Right. If you were to have kids, you have to have them because YOU and your husband want them. Not because your MIL won't stop nagging.
