I suddenly feel old and judgy and didn't think I was.
DSS has been with girlfriend for a number of years. Lovely couple. Bought a house together last year and now announcing they are planning to start a family. Great. They then start saying they want a family before having a wedding as it would be more fun for the kids to be in attendance and involved.
I've surprised myself at my reaction. I've said nothing to them (and never would) but in my head I'm going WTF. House, kids then marriage? If marriage is important do it before children. You don't deliberately plan it the other way. Oddly them not getting married but having children didn't elicit any reaction in me.
AIBU? Am I old and out of touch? Is this how things are done now? Any insights into why I'm feeling such a reaction?

AIBU?
To mind that DSS wants to have children so they can go to the wedding?
