That’s fair. You could also just not ask and let them tell you.

Oh yeah for sure. But it was basically assumed that that’s what you would do as a woman.

Exactly!

My sister said her friends were saying all those things and almost trying to convince her why she should want them. It’s not the 1950s anymore, if a person doesn’t want kids, they don’t have to have them.

Absolutely! My eldest is 5, and that’s when she really decided she didn’t want kids lol she saw how hard of a job it is, even though it is rewarding.

While I would love my kids to have cousins I would never, ever ask her if she now wants kids and I absolutely understand why she doesn’t want children.
