I have no relatives like that. Nor do I know many people who have relatives like that. It fascinates me; I can't imagine a family where people would feel free to ask such a prying question although, obviously, I know they exist.
In any case, MY response to "When are you going to get married and have kids?" would be to give them that "Wow, you're STUPID" look and respond, "When are you going to get some manners and stop asking questions that aren't your business?" If they get offended at that, it's their own damn fault for asking the question in the first place. You're under no obligation to provide an answer for a question that is such a major breach of etiquette and it continues to floor me that people really do ask those sorts of things.
