I dont have/want children. I face such situation often.

The first time a friend or relative talks suggestive I reply politely in first person singular "I am not interested at this point of time", or something like that. If the person shares his/her point of view in first person singular like "I love my kid, it is lot of fun." or "I went for a child when I was 25 because by the time he grows up I will be still younger to care" etc. I listen to it, even consider whether that point is applicable to me.

If the same person repeats it, I will tell clearly "We had discussed it before. Sorry if you dont have other things to talk, then see ya later".

When he/she repeats third time, I say "Will you shut up?". Trust me we had done it and it works.

Now if he/she says it second person sentence like "You should have children becoz blah blah". I cut and say "wait wait You must not be telling me whether I should do this or that. Can I tell you what all you should be doing or not doing? I suggest you dont talk nonsense with me".

Some hate me, but many got use to me. They dont interfere.

With some people I really feel that they care for me when they ask or say something. I respect them, never pounce on them! (remember? I am an animal)
