This really irritates me.... 😤

What I absolutely can NOT stand is when people just assume that you’re going to have kids. I’ve had it countless times now.

Family members, old friends, people in school. Like not everyone is particularly fond of kids, and not everyone is going to have the same lifestyle that you maybe have or want in future.

One example that probably annoyed me the most, was about 6 month ago when I was still in school. It was coming to the end of the day, no one in my health and social class was really doing any work.

Most people had left, so there was this one group of girls, I didn’t really talk to them that much.

I didn’t really have any friends in school so I mostly listened in on people’s conversations unintentionally.

They were talking about how many kids they want, girl or boy etc.

Then looked over at me and said “Olivia how many kids do you want?” I sat and internally sighed.

I replied with “I don’t really want any kids, so, none”

They then looked at me as if I’d murdered a kitten or something. Started rambling on about how they don’t understand how anyone couldn’t want any. Asking if I didn’t even find them cute or anything. Nope, sorry not in my opinion.

Like jeez I have other life plans.

I’d 100% prefer a puppy over a kid any day.

This isn’t a dig at anyone who actually wants children btw, just people who assume and expect you to have them.

Has anyone had people confront them about this sorta stuff before?
