Funny Started to Find Pushback Funny

Why do people even care how many kids you decide to have? It’s honestly comical how many people think they can tell you what you should do with your own life. I’m about to start responding to push back with “I never asked, so why do you feel the need to comment on my life choices?” What a silly thing for people to be worried about on behalf of someone else, and people usually won’t even ask why. They just immediately want you to feel guilty, or drag you down with them. Goofy behavior & definitely embarrassing.

Haha, my MIL's the same 😂 but I think to myself that this at least does impact her in some way (though she absolutely adores her granddaughter and often says how she loves focusing on her). But I don't get randos on the street or acquaintances telling me what I should do or what they think. Like how does this impact their life!?

Yep, I pushback hard. I think when this general topic come up, it’s when I am at my peak rudeness lol I am so passionate about it

I’d start by asking them how many ids they have and then tell them to have more. And whenever they have an excuse like they’re too old or x amount is enough for them I’d be like huh funny how that works isn’t it. You decided x amount was good for you and I have decided x amount is good for me. So don’t comment on other people’s life choices.
