Anyone else find it interesting how many women who claim to have "always known" that they were child free change their tune when they meet the right person?

Let's face it women are constantly bombarded by societal pressure from all sides to have kids. This pressure doesn't stop just because a woman says she's childfree. The topic of kids will continue to be brought up to them by friends, family, partners, etc. <br><br>But when a woman says, "I've always known that I don't want kids" you can bet your last dollar that she's been asked about having kids by every single one of her partners. Especially if she's in her mid 20s or older and still claims to be childfree. It's just a fact. Nobody is immune from that kind of pressure because it's currently expected for women to perform this role in society. <br><br>When you start dating someone, usually the first few dates are spent just getting to know each other, and then the topic of children eventually comes up and if you're childfree then of course you bring that up, right? But seems like it's extremely common for women who claim to be childfree to change their tune as soon as they meet someone that they want to settle down with. <br><br>Like, let's say a woman has been dating a man for like 5 years, and she's still childfree. If the topic of kids have never once come up in their relationship then I'd be shocked lmao. Because it's a woman, it's just automatically assumed that she will have kids and her opinion on the matter is irrelevant. This is the reason why many women who are childfree change their tune all of a sudden.<br><br>For example, I once dated a woman who was 27 years old at the time and she claimed that she had always known she didn't want kids. But it was obvious to me that she was just saying this because she wanted to appear cool to me because she obviously knew that I was childfree and wasn't going to waste time on anyone who wanted kids. <br><br>She was jealous of her friends who had kids because she felt like she was missing out on something even though she claimed she didn't want kids. <br><br>She admitted to liking kids and wanting to have a big family when she was younger and only recently decided that she didn't want kids. <br><br>She said she was childfree because she was too busy with work and didn't have enough money to have kids right now, which is a huge red flag when a woman says she's childfree.<br><br>She knew that if she told me the truth about not wanting to be with someone who's childfree then she wouldn't have a chance with me. <br><br>But after I dumped her she blocked me on everything, unfollowed me on all my socials and had a meltdown about how I was "this close" to changing her mind about having kids with me, but I dumped her. She said she was planning on having kids with me. <br><br>It was all too ridiculous to be true. But, obviously, it makes sense that a single woman who's in her late 20s-early 30s is going to try to settle down with *someone* even if they're not the right person. <br><br>This experience just made me realize that women who claim to always have known that they didn't want kids have been dealing with this kind of pressure their whole lives. If women are considered "petulant children" for not wanting to have kids then they can't be taken seriously. It's just the way it is.
