I get not doing this to strangers/ coworkers, but do you all really have such limited relationships with your friends that you can't discuss inportant aspects of each others lives?

Ok. waits 20 minutes Hey, have you changed your mind about kids yet?
"Still no"
Ok waits 20 more minutes How about now?

I think getting in a relationship has a significant enough chance of changing a person's desire to have a kid where it can't be compared to just 20 minutes.

Maybe you need better friends?

And maybe you need to realize that nobody is about to cut off contract with their family because one auntie is nosy

Did I say you need better FRIENDS, or you need to cut off contact with your family?

Seriously. The principle behind this “tip” is, apparently, don’t talk to your friends about personal things.

I agree with the whole “I don’t like when family members try and pressure me into having kids” sentiment, but this is just going way too far.
The post implies they haven’t asked about kids in years, and are only bringing it up because a big milestone in their life has happened.

I don't think I agree that not asking (or "not being able to ask") indicates a poor relationship. I think what would indicate a poor relationship would be needing to ask, and/or feeling like if you didn't have the information somehow you weren't worthy, as opposed to the person just not considering it your business.
edit to clarify: by "needing", I mean feeling the need to... Not that they aren't volunteering the info without you asking
