Today, my mum asked when she's getting grandkids. I had to tell her that, at 21 years-old, I hadn't even managed to get a boyfriend yet. FML

That's okay. Not everyone want kids or has had a relationship yet.

Don't let external pressures change the way you think. It's your life; do whatever makes you happy. You have all the time in the world.

"I have no responsibility to live up to what others expect of me. That's their mistake, not my failing" I'm turning 21 in a couple months. Both my older brothers have kids and homes of their own. I'm still single and living with my parents (my roomates haha). When ever I feel like I'm not moving forward fast enough, I think of that quote. Keep your head up OP, and take your time. There's no need to rush

It will happen for you! Don't rush it, a lot of us are in that predicament. I know, I'm 20 and yet to have a serious relationship but in the mean time have fun and don't obsess over something you can't control.

You're 21. Don't be in a hurry to settle down. You have more than 60 years left for that! 21 might legally be adult, but you're a kid. Enjoy being so.

Nothing to be embarrassed about! You've got plenty of time. You're in your prime years :D

Sometimes when you're having a hard time starting something, it helps to work your way backwards. Get a baby first, have sex next, get married, get engaged, have your first kiss, and then go on a few dates. Also, if you meet any prospective suitors named Benjamin Button, they'd probably be extra keen on this format.

I had my first child at 21. Don't rush it, op. The time will come when it comes. Do you and everything will be fine.

I've experienced this too, not with my mom, but with my grandparents. Started when I was 18 and hadn't had a boyfriend yet either. They started asking things like "so when are you going to get a guy so we can have some great grand babies," and other stuff about me having children. Oddly enough it doesn't happen as often now that I have a boyfriend, probably just cause of the views of the era they grew up in, so they see it as me being one step closer to having children. I always tell them that children aren't on the agenda for at least another 10yrs, if I have any at all. Just make your situation and wants clear, but otherwise I wouldn't pay too much attention to it, it's your life and your choices. We're young, there's no rush for anything, relationships or children.

My Nana dies this, once told my sister and I we should sign up for a dating site. She only tells my sister and I this, and never says anything to my brother or male cousins.

Yep, same. They only ask their female grandkids these questions. There's only 1 male grandkid in the family, who is older than all of us too, but he never gets questioned on kids. In fact instead of asking him about kids, they'll direct it at his girlfriend instead. It used to really annoy me when I was younger because they assumed I was going to have kids at all. It felt like they thought that's how my life will be defined and what my purpose as a girl is, to get a husband and have some kids, and that is just not the case.
