Woman explains why she never wants to have children and take on the role of a mother

Generally, family gatherings are fun and exciting, but many things are not so fun about them. One such major thing is the incessant questioning by relatives. Intrusive questions from distant relatives are undoubtedly one of the reasons why family reunions may be draining. Nothing can shield you from being asked, "When are you getting married?" and "When are you having children?" whether you are single or in a relationship. You better have a rebuttal ready if you don't want to stumble awkwardly while looking for the right response. Bree—who goes by @bippityboppitybree on TikTok—has a fantastic defense prepared in such situations.

Not only does her response astonish everyone, but gradually they also comprehend it. When it comes to nosy inquiries, she claims that "When are you having kids?" is unquestionably at the top of the list.  In her video, she stated, "I am 25 years old. I've reached the age where, well, to be honest, people start asking women this question as soon as they reach their 20s. But I've consistently been asked, 'Do you have kids?' And I always respond, 'Definitely not.' I'm still really young. However, people enjoy asking if I have children. And I respond, 'No, I won't be having children. Do you want to know the reason why?'"

Her chance to shine arrives when people are anxious to learn her response. She says, "I would love, love, love to be a parent. I would love to be a dad. I don't get that choice. I would have to be a mother. And there's no way in hell I would ever want to be a mother." She further adds, "Watching the initial confusion on their face, and then the awareness, the acknowledgment, you can see the gears turning. It makes sense. I don't want the responsibility of being a mother. I want to be the cool parent. I want to have as little responsibility as possible and mothers don't get that."

Naturally enough, many people in the comment section endorsed the TikTok user's viewpoint and agreed that having children is a personal choice. Moreover, many people acknowledge that being a mother is always a hard task. @krystal0128 said, "I have two kids and I always say in my next life I’m coming back as a Dad!! In fact, I was just telling my Gmom this yesterday!" @nicole_061991 commented, "I have 5 kids and my husband puts in just as much work as I do. We’re a team 100%. But a child-free life is a wonderful choice too!"

@rebeccaladida shared, "Same. 43 and haven't changed my mind. Cool aunts, stepparents, older foster parents of teens even, maybe later!" @thisis_tiki noted, "I'm a mom and I understand what she meant. I'm a mom and it's tiring especially if you work full time too but I love it"
