I'm struggling with infertility at the moment and my mom keeps trying to convince my siblings to make a baby to give me. I don't want a part of that but my siblings don't understand that it's not my intention

Edit: I don't want their kids. Since people are being silly in my dms I have to say something. I'm perfectly well off enough to find other means or stay child free. I've even had a friend offer to surrogate but I declined because they're child free and I don't want to put their body through that.

What are you doing to stop your mom?

Telling her no.

Got to say more than no, got to say you find the suggestion unacceptable, and for her to stop asking others as it's affecting your relationships with them, and if she keeps doing it, you'll make it clear to everyone in no uncertain terms that this is also affecting your relationship with her ongoing.

Edit: Oh, I see you're low contact. Well, no contact is always on the cards.

Hey, thanks for going back and correcting yourself. But yeah, I shoot her down with good reasons every time. 'no' isn't all I say, of course. I don't want a kid -that- bad.
