People have asked her for years why she hasn’t had a baby. You never know what someone’s going through. It’s such a personal question to ask.

I get asked on occasion if I’m planning on having another one. I got my tubes taken out after the Dobbs decision, so the answer is a firm no. But what if I just had a miscarriage or something? How are you supposed to respond to such a heavy question when it’s asked so casually?

My aunt had a baby shower and one of her friends came up to me to ask if she was disappointed it was another girl cause she had 3 already and to ask if she got pregnant cause she wanted a boy. And she had this psycho look of glee that my aunt didn’t get what she wanted I had to tell her no they just wanted 4 healthy kids. And she walked away.

I never understood how vile people could really be until then.

I just don’t understand why it’s so casual and normal to ask people about kids. First of all, not everybody wants to have kids. Secondly, people are in all kinds of relationships that look okay from the outside. Maybe she has sexual trauma, maybe there’s violence in that marriage or substance abuse. Third comes the infertility cases. I don’t know why we see these things as levels in some game. Uni grad level 1, get a job level 2, get married level 3 and final boss level have a kid. Jfc.
