Question
How does one respond to “you say that now”, “you’ll change your mind in the future”, “you’re still young”? It’s very annoying, for lack of a better word, when I’m faced with such responses after voicing my (23F) preference to continue my life without children. People think it’s just a prefrontal cortex thing when I say that and I’ll just randomly wake up one day yearning for the financial and emotional burden of bringing life into the world. I’m young, yes, but I’ve never fancied the idea of having kids.
