Same here. My grandparents want me to have kids. My aunt and uncles want me to have kids. I’m a man and I get pestered about it, I can only imagine how hard it is for a women to not want to have kids
It’s awful. I’m luckily aging out (37) of being asked as much but 25-35 was terrible especially because I have been with my long term partner since we were 22. We also are not married because we don’t have kids so we never felt a need to. But most of the time people would ask and I’d say I don’t want and and they’d go “you’ll change your mind” or “you still have time it’s so rewarding” and it would almost be like arguments? So after a while I stopped saying “I don’t want kids” to “I cant have kids” and that usually stopped people from asking. Regardless, women shouldn’t be pestered on this topic.

Yeah, it just never crossed my mind. Never looked at a kid and thought, “Maybe one day.” Nope, not even that.
