I heard the "but you would be such a great Mom!" too many times already :/

The ticking you hear isnt my biological clock, it's a countdown to me exploding from my reproductive choices being questioned too many times

I have often feel like punching ppl in the face when asked abt "my clock". One day, I'll stop imagining doing it and will do it instead!

People shouldn't assume "kids or not" is always a black and white decision. We weighed it up. It was hard. I'd prefer to regret no than yes

Reproductive decisions, struggles, indecision, circumstances... it's all so personal and individual. I wish it was treated as such.

And are men put under such scrutiny? No? Then leave women be.

I'm glad I can yell into the twittersphere and have so many great people yell back in solidarity and support from so many perspectives!

It's not that I don't want kids, I think I'd like one, but when I'm ready. And I don't know when that'll be because I'm terrified of labor.

I KNOW! That's one of the most annoying things to deal with! I often get unwanted notifications that my clock is ticking...

Women are devices that go off and expire.

But please, just because we're women doesn't mean we *by default* must have a child. Urgh!

I think it's weird how bad people can handle it when others make different decisions/live their lives diff. than they do. What do they care?

Right? Need to be accepting of the choices people make in their lives. They make them for their own reasons. Judging them for it is wrong.

Yes, it's​ not them to live with the decisions made. And I might have an opinion on how they live, but I don't mind if it's diff. to mine.

Actually, that happens all the time, that people choose differently than me. If they are happy with it and it hurts noone -fine with me.

Just imagine how alarmingly boring this world would be if everyone was thinking the same.

I was going to say *literally* the same thing!! Different choices make the world vibrant! They make us *human* =)
