I think your response was completely appropriate and it was a heck of a lot nicer than what I was thinking you should say. My DH is here with me and he agrees - unless you and your DH are asking his mother for money to help with expenses or her help in raising your children (which I do not get from your post at all) she has absolutely no business asking this question - or any question regarding your DH's personal life.
Why didn't your DH confront his mother and tell her to butt out? Just curious.
Again, I think you were totally appropriate in your response - lets hope this ends her nosy-nelly-ness.

In my personal opinion, I don't think anyone even
Thanks, Danielle!
I think I would have been less creeped out if she would have come right out and asked me if we were "done", and then expressed any concerns about things like time, age, financies, etc. afterward.
