This. I agree with this. I don't want kids. Never have. I think I'm capable of loving specific ones (my sister's kids, for example, if she ever has any, would be adored by me). But that doesn't change the fact that I don't want any of my own. And yes, when people say this, there is this implicit idea that everyone should have kids, everyone wants kids (and if you don't, something is wrong with you, or you'll always change your mind because no one could not want kids ever), and that everyone will always change their minds about all of this. Which simply isn't true.

So I honestly find this statement insulting. Like, they are telling me that I'm wrong to not want kids and that my own plans for my life are wrong and should change because they aren't the same as theirs.

I'm happy that now I can simply cut them off and tell them I physically can't have kids. But a lot of people I know will probably just suggest adoptions. Which is great for those who want it. But I don't want kids. I used to think that I might someday adopt. But I've realized I'm never going to want kids and that I wouldn't make a good parent.
