I don't care if characters have kids, but I do not want to see more of the dichotomy between "Forgot to have kids because career, whoops now I'm miserable" and "Gave up career, had kids, I'm happy!" It just ignores the wide range of real women's experiences:

Had kids but still remains devoted to career
Had kids but still has to work whether wanted to or not because they need the money
Had kids and is a stay-at-home mom but has fulfilling hobbies and friendships outside of kids
Did not have kids and still has no career to speak of
Could not have kids whether wanted to or not, or just did not get the opportunity
Could take or leave having kids
Had kids but isn't particularly happy (not necessarily because of the kids, but they didn't fix anything)
And so on...

This is fair. It's frustrating when they present only one path as the "correct" one, and anyone who deviates is wrong and is doomed to be miserable (and probably "deserves it" for daring to not have children/waiting too long to have them or having a life outside of kids).
