Now if only those weird and miserable old men would stop calling me selfish for not having children.

I’ve found it works pretty well to just beat em to it. “Man, I’d love to have a kid, but bringing a child into this dumpster fire on purpose just so I can have a ‘little bundle of joy’ would be so selfish. It’s just not fair to the kid, ya know?!”

Worked on my parents at least, lol.
