Baby born in the year of the Tiger

My husband and I are planning to have a child. But my in laws suggest we should wait another year as it's the year of the Tiger next year. Is anyone out there facing the same issue? How do you deal with such in laws. Thank you in advance!

I'm a 母老虎!I had an easier life I feel, the birth rate is always lower tiger years so there's less competition for schools. My only worry is that in laws will be pantang about their son marrying a tiger wife but literally no one I know of had that issue and I think that's pretty silly now in these times. In my parent's time they just avoided giving birth after midnight, because they felt the stigma may be stronger in case any in laws are super religious, but again, haven't heard of that being an issue at all. Maybe you can ask your parents if you had a son and he wants to marry a Tiger would they object vehemently? If not then what is their concern?
