How do you tell your family to mind their own business?

Well this is a good topic, because how does one tell their own family to butt out and offend them. I guess there is no real simple way to do this, i mean if you dont want them butting into your bussiness you obviously need to tel them that or they will continue to do it. I think that if they were as loving and supportive of the person then they would not be offended by honesty in wanting them to keep their noses to themselves. but that isnt always the case is it. So i think that if you are truely bothered by someone butting in, then you should tell them in the nicest way possible and if they get offended which one would hope they wouldnt, i guess deal with that next.

Well I would be saying that anyone who meddles in another person life is way out of line, everyone is given a life and life that life the best they can making their own choices that their inner voice tells them, to meddle in someone elses life is taking control of their destiny, if you think about it every single minute thing you do in life affects which way your life heads, what right has someone got to redirect your destiny, they have had theit chance to live their life they have no right to try and redirect someone elses....one must follow their own destiny. In other words I would tell them to butt out... :)

Me personally I would just come right out and say that it is not there decision and that timing isn ot right for me right now and when things are financially better than my husband and I will discussit untill then it is none of there business.

Having a family, or adding to one is a really big responsibilty for anyone, but ultimately it is a decision that gets made by a couple when they are ready. If they are not, then that is the decision all the interfering busybodies need to accept. Imagine if they decided not to have another, what sort of reaction would that bring?! My wife and I made that choice while her mother and sister kept saying 'you have to have more'. My wife told them it was our family, not theirs, and therefore our decision and there was nothing they could do about it.

Learning how to ignore our families when they mean well but don't understand the whole situation is one of the hardest things we do as adults. But somehow we have to find a way to do it or it will slowly eat away at us and drive us nuts. I have found it best to come up as a standard answer like "thanks for your input on that, I'll take it into consideration" and just repeat it over and over, the same exact way, with the say exact expression until they finally get that I am just not really listen to them anymore.

if yoy have not any job one kid is inough.money is power we can not do any thing without money.

For me i will say directly as i am straight person yea ... but for people who don't want to spoil the relationship , might wanna listen and ignore , try to avoid that topic yea

I would have told her that she has to do what she wants and that she can't live her life the way her mother wants or expects her to and that her mother has already had her family and that this was the way she wanted it and no one pushed her into this decision and that she can't let someone else push her into something that she knows is not in her best interests . For some reason there are a lot of mothers who can't seem to realize there children have grown and that they can make decisions on their own and want to still be able to tell them how to live there life and what they can and can't do and until we as children take a stand and tell them they have to back off a bit , they will never stop trying to tell us what to do .

This is one of those situations where you literally can't win for loosing! I really don't know if there is a way to tell a family member to "butt out" without offending them and causing irrepairable damage to the relationship. This is definitely a situation where her family needs to stay out of it. I would say to try to tell them gently that it is her life, and not theirs; she has to let them know that she and her husband will do what is right for them and their family, not what is right for someone else. If that doesn't work, I just don't know.

I believe all our mom want us to live happily .So we should keep communicating with them and tell them what we think now .I am sure they will understand us

I would tell them to stop doing something. If they were really bad towards something, then I would tell them straight-hand, though, my family doesn't really snoop into my own business.
