Younger brother engaged, older brother expecting.... tidal wave of judgement coming down on me!

Just as it says, my brother got married two years ago and his wife is now expecting their first child. My younger brother has proposed to his long time girlfriend recently.

I am single, have been for ages with no real desire to settle down. I have very high standards regarding men (lifetime of childcare has seen to that) and very little free time to meet anyone. I'm perfectly happy doing my own thing and while I'd like to have children of my own at some point, it's not any point soon.

But my family are very old fashioned so I just know that this year is going to bring a surfable wave of 'why haven't you settled, what's wrong with you' my way.

How do I cope without turning to drink?

Elder sister married with 3 children, Younger ditto with 2. When younger sister got married I announced, ''Oh good, that's me off the hook then". That sorted it.
