For Robin, I believe it was more that the choice of whether or not to have children was taken away from her, that upset more than the not having kids. This was actually very realistic to me because I know several people who had this same reaction when they either intended on never having children or being done having children. On the outside, it looks like it should be fine, but it really did a number on their heads.

I think that's a very understandable reaction. I don't want kids, but a part of me wonders if that's what I really, really feel or if it's at least partly a reaction to the fact that I haven't been in a position to have them financially, job-wise, and partner-wise. I definitely don't want a kid right now - I'm single, don't have the money to support a kid on my own, and the nature of my job (frequent travel) would make raising a child alone impossible, since I have no family nearby. If I really, really wanted to have a kid on my own, I might be able to make it work if I found a different job that both pays better and is single-parent friendly, but that's way easier said than done! I mean, as my mother once said, having a child is never convenient, so there's going to be sacrifice no matter what, but it's just not possible in my current situation without a partner and a second income.

So, a part of me worries about approaching the end of my reproductive years without getting into a situation where having a kid is at least remotely possible because that means the option is gone and I was never in a position to freely decide without such massive constraints.
