[Serious] Is it too unrealistic to expect Indian girls to be okay with not having kids after marriage?

It's less of a "weekly children rant" and more of an issue of women of India.

Now, buckle up OP!

For your question, yes it is unrealistic.

Hear me out.

Indians are neither pro-choice or pro life. Heck, at times, it isn't even a choice of the couple.

Views might change, but there's our families that play a bigger role.

Women who have children will get extremely aggressive about having children. These women aren't"pro life" these will try to force other woman to have kid because that's what woman are born for.

Ever seen a life cycle type photo of a woman? Like stage of life? A girl then a student and then pregnant. It has been always implied that being a mother is THE part of a woman's life. If you aren't a mother then you are not a woman for real. Even though she gets sleepless nights, have to run around her kids and have no time for herself, it is still better than not having a kid. Cause she is a woman and she must have a kid.

Also, saying ANYTHING against a child or childbirth (or even how painful it seems) one must always be like how much of an honour it is.

As you get older you mind might change, but it might not as well. I do not want a kid because I won't be the only one raising my kid here in India. He/she'll have over the top sexist grand parents, have to live in dycares cause for me and my bf, our work, what we study, what we do, is why keeps us going. Although he is good with kids, he knows what shitty condition he grew up in and wedrather not give that to a new human. The way my parents and relatives treat us and my cousins is more of a investment. Really. Kids are the investment. My cousin liked a guy and she was beaten like anything cause she was divertiher attention from studies. I have been starved and this happens to a lot girls. Doesn't matter where you live, this is a reality of urban India.

Many don't just understand that a child is a whole new human being.and, yes there are women who think this way, but are discouraged.

As a woman, I can tell you that a women are themselves the worst enemies of each other.

And this kinda promote extremist views.. completely childfree auntries shittng on aunties with kids and vice versa. And the CJs will break the records of reddit cause it is that worst.

It is unrealistic, but a good conversation can change a lot of things. Also, if there's sudden change, never fall for the weak. Always stand up for yourself.
