It’s a pretty rude and intrusive question, honestly. Asking newlyweds when to expect them to breed is basically insisting that they only got married to procreate, as opposed to out of a deep caring for each other, and that they shouldn’t be allowed a honeymoon phase. It also presumes that they can afford children (which I doubt Val and Cooper can). The only person I’ve ever asked such a question to is my sister, and it was as a joke. Newlyweds should be allowed to enjoy themselves and their time together and shouldn’t be pushed into reproduction hastily.
Ugh, one of the few even mildly obnoxious things my MIL has ever done in the 15 years I’ve been with my husband (married for 13) was to write “Grandkids” ALL OVER our wedding guestbook. Thankfully, my BIL tempered the twinges of annoyance I was feeling while paging through it by writing a lovely message and sarcastically adding, “P.S., Mom wants grandkids.”
You know, I was kind of disappointed. I would’ve loved to see Val and Cooper as parents.

Ditto… Hubby & I married 25 years..no kids, just pets.🙂
It’s a womb with a view!
