YEEEEEEEES!!  I usually say that too. "Misery loves company" or "that hype is nothing more than a pyramid scheme". When I'm tired of sleep, freedom and disposable income, I will join the club. Until then, nah bruh. I've only gotten a few of these and of them, #15 is first place. However, I am inclined to believe that if I had a stable partner/relationship, I might view the issue differently. MIGHT.

Tbh GG that's what I see more of but I'm in my early twenties wrapping up undergrad and moving on so maybe that's from a limited perspective.
The harshest critiques and serious insults have came from the women without kids from what I've seen.

Agreed. I don't think the childless bashing comes until the late 30s maybe.

Model, IA. I think if they phrased it differently it would have been better. Like, 'The love between a child and parent is like nothing else' or something similar. I've had that said to me and I don't have a problem with it. But that original statement? Guuurl!

My single friends just don't want kids RIGHT NOW. My friends who r older and didn't want kids don't regret it per se, but they think about it. I mean, it comes up in convo occasionally. Only one person I can think of now really wasn't sweating having a baby and she can't have one now. She could before, but was too busy living life. Now, it's not going to happen. She tries to front like she doesn't care, she's single, doesn't want kids, but sometimes when her period is late she gets excited about how she could possibly be pregnant. Then when her period comes, it's back to "I really didn't want kids lol."
ON THREAD TOPIC: the things listed that people say, are rude as hell. Just plain rude.

Heard quite a few before.. it's worse when you've been married for years and both over 30. Folks really start to try to pressure you into having kids.
My sister is 35 and not married working on her PhD... sometimes I envy her only responsible for herself life. Itold her when folks get tho being nosey about that aspect of her life just say..0 my sister has both and says they're overrated.

I've realized people have something to say when a) You're living your life and playing by your own rules b) When you try giving parenting advice hahaha
