Somebody suggested that Hunters/Huntresses have a vow of chastity (shades of the Judges in Judge Dredd). I don't agree with that; instead, I would suggest that it is more that Hunters and Huntresses are pretty driven personalities and don't really think of things like that. Some do start families but only after their best front-line days are over (well into their 30s). So, yes, Weiss's parents might be alarmed. She might be killed, yes; more worrying from a dynastic point of view, she might die without an heir or might be seen as 'ruined' by the 'proper' marriage prospects.

Way-Out There Crackpot Theory:

During one battle, the RWBY girls rescue a little girl (aka 'cute chibi trouble-maker') from a ruined building. She is orphaned and Blake is absolutely adamant that no-one she knows should experience the hell of the orphanage system (she speaks from personal experience). The problem is that Blake's... status... and everyone's youth renders them unable to offer an alternative.

Weiss is rich and can afford politicians and lawyers of her own. She agrees with Blake's position. So, she gets a daughter. Chibi-Schnee, naturally, becomes abduction bait ("It must be Tuesday") and a plot-driver in her own right. Equally naturally, her parents are horrified; Weiss could care less.
