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

Such a constructive way of looking at this choice. It is never simple and people need to mind their own darn business.

Echoing "people need to mind their own darn business." EXACTLY this.

Talking abt infertility has been a powerful way for me to have ppl mind their business. But it shouldn't be necessary.

I agree. People should consider fertility issues and shouldn't need a "legitimate" excuse like infertility to accept childlessness either.

Also *super important* to consider there may be sensitive reasons for someone not wanting children. It's personal, period.
