A bride was left furious after her mother-in-law demanded a refund of her wedding contribution when the woman said she wasn’t having children.
The anonymous woman said she and her husband made it clear they didn’t want any kids from the beginning of their relationship.
However, his mother repeatedly asked the couple when they’re having children every time she saw them.

Taking to Reddit, the woman said her mother-in-law is “big into family in the traditional sense” and she’s been “pushy” with them about having kids since they tied the knot.
She wrote: “My husband has always changed the subject, and has even told her that it’s really none of her business. Every time we see her, she asks.
“3 years into our marriage, my husband said, ‘We might not even have kids’ and MIL would not hear it. At year 4, husband had a vasectomy and I had a tubal.”
She continued: “So this weekend we were all at their home enjoying some BBQ and drinks and everything. When I get up to grab a beer, my MIL asks me if maybe I should drink water instead, because wink wink nudge nudge, you never know.
“I was annoyed by this and said, ‘There’s really no chance.’ MIL, all wide-grin, said, ‘Oh come on! It’s time for you two to finally get serious! Put down the beer and tell us when we can finally expect you two to finally make your family official!’
“I said, ‘We’ve been official for about 5 years now, MIL,’ and drink the beer. Husband laughs with me.
“MIL gets more annoyed and says “Well, you won’t be REAL (last names) until you bless us with babies! Husband said, ‘Mom, enough.’ MIL pushed again. Husband repeated.”
The woman said she “finally snapped” and told the mother-in-law that her husband “got snipped” and she “had my tubes tied” and they won’t be having children.
She continued: “Well, I thought I started WWIII. She started crying and stormed off. Family looked at us with disgust and stormed off to comfort her. We left. Party kinda ended.
“My MIL finally called me this morning and told me that she was willing to put this all behind us if husband and I came over and listened to her reasons that we really ‘need’ to have kids.
“I told her no, that we are tired of her pushing this on us, and then she said, ‘Well then, I guess you two aren’t prepared to be REAL (Lastname)s. I’d like a refund for what we paid for the wedding.’ (It wasn’t that much. It was like $400 for the rehearsal dinner.)

“I hung up on her. When recounting this to my friends, a few of them said that I was the asshole here for dropping it like that.
“But I don’t think she was ever going to drop it if I didn’t finally make a serious, direct comment about it.”
