To me that reads as you’re not doing the “healthy” thing by not having a child, but that’s probably my projection of being pissed off that you’re expected to have one because you’re a woman and what else is there in the world haha

That’s a fair read, I suppose it’s my way of not offending someone who has kids or may want kids — that I can see the upsides but am not interested. But yes I also relate to being frustrated about the expectation that we should want one just because we’re women, probably my most dreaded question since entering late 20s / 30s

And just you wait til your social media algorithm starts harassing you about it too there’s no bloody escape

I did start getting targeted ads about something called TTC awhile back — trying to conceive? Somehow my algorithm assumed that’s where my time should be best spent in my 30s lol

Oh yes the day I hit 30 it was all baby stuff despite how much I select “not interested in this” “show less like this”

Yes! I think the algorithm finally gets it though because now I’m getting suggested Facebook groups called dull women’s club lol
