Don’t address it. When and if you have kids is your business. If they bring it up, just say “not right now, I’m focusing on my career/education”

Same here. I live under a culture where children are a MUST and you aren't a woman if you don't have one. I just want to be paid well and go on trips...

I would tell them it’s my body my choice and I’ve chosen to not have kids.

So many different ways, all of them interesting, best one is just don’t bring it up to avoid everything

well they won’t quit invalidating it because they have their own opinions. what you can do is not react or just dismiss it. like “yeah maybe! haha anyways” knowing damn well u won’t

I say best as in the one I would do bc I’d just get really snappy and say “if you want me to have a baby so bad make up a story where I’m a mom cause I don’t want any kid coming out of my vaginal canal”

Evil strategy: when they bring it out, start sobbing and crying and say that the doctors have told you it’s nearly impossible for you to have children. Watch how quick the conversation dies 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
