Yep, if I'd listened to my dad instead of my ***** ex-wife I wouldn't be stuck in a townhome I can't sell.

Oh and I also wouldn't have bought the Kia Rondo I did as my second vehicle. That thing ******* sucked.
I'm pretty salty over all of this as well bu I'm too lazy to type out extra words
Nope. That set doesn't ask. We may talk about it in the abstract, like when we were working on house plans and deciding if bedrooms could fit two kids comfortably. But nothing like timeline. My mom's experience with an incredible nasty and meddlesome MIL virtually assures she goes (probably too far) the other direction. DH's parents definitely ask more and I'm sure will question a lot as we get to that point.
I'm in my very late 20s, and I call my parents, mainly my dad for advice, probably at least three times a week. Also it gives me a chance to call them.
It's getting to the point where I feel like I'm annoying them, but I know that feeling is just on my end.
That may change when you get older - my sisters & I provide iteneraries & contact info when we travel for more than a few days, and especially when we are overseas. That's mostly because of the concerns about our dad and his health.
No on the parents/siblings copying each other. My dad and my husband have very different car philosophies--my dad trades in/up to a brand new car for himself every couple years. With incentives and GM card rewards (he always buys a Buick) and trade in value, he isn't paying much out of pocket and has the means to do that. We drive vehicles for 10+ years (either paying them off right away or buying them outright so not a lot of monthly debt). My dad will usually mention when he is buying a new vehicle, but this last time I only knew when they showed up with it. And usually they look the same but he had to take a different color this time. Hubby's parents usually have at least one Honda in their garage and we have never had a Honda.
I will say I have a friend who as a "frenemy" who is constantly copying her. I keep telling her it is going to turn all Single White Female some day. It is pretty creepy.
I do talk to my parents each at least once or twice a week. It was hard when they would go on vacation for weeks at a time and we would maybe get an email every so often. Now with their ipad and now iphones we are able to message more while they are gone. We are trying to set up face time this week (they've been gone for almost 3 weeks).

Pants, there is a babe on Wheel of Fortune that lives in Honolulu. You should go get that. She is a yoga instructor. You know she would be fun.
I'm on it. Did it show her first name? Don't get me wrong, I have NO problem hitting on every yoga instructed in town, but from a time stance, it may help.
Warning to anyone who doesn't care...
Our little boy was born this afternoon! Everyone is doing great.

Now you finally know that feeling of thinking "Holy ****"....and not knowing for sure whether that's a "Holy ****, this is awesome" or "Holy ****, my life is completely different than it was 10 minutes ago"
