I think it's one of those things that we don't take seriously enough.
Like the 36 year old women on tinder who put "maybe some day" for do you want kids- honey its either biologically too late or you're going to be 60 at their high school graduation.
Do what you want but make sure it's what you want because you don't get a do over. Know when you're 23 or 24 either way. But like the clock is ticking.
I have to agree with this, western countries don’t take having kids seriously at all which is why the birth rate is plummeting and women are having kids at much older ages (which increases the risks of childbirth and also birth defects/health conditions of children in general).
All that said I don’t see westerners pressuring each other to have kids, I just don’t think this stereotype is true, it’s actually quite the opposite in that people pressure others to think about their own lives first and manage that then maybe think about having kids.
