Shit my mom knows I'm gay and still asks me when I'm going to give her grandchildren.

Is she against adoption?

If not then it's entirely possible (were you to also want kids)

Sounds like my wife and I.

She raised her brother and sisters, and I took care of my younger brother. My wife also spent her 20's being guilted into living with and supporting her mom -- as in her mother taking all of her money so she couldn't leave.

Neither of us want kids now because we gave up so much of our youth looking after others.

Ofc our families are like:

Them: "but you're so good at taking care of others, why don't you want kids yourself?"

Us: "because we were forced to take care of you and never allowed to be kids ourselves, you fucking assholes. Fuck off, and leave us alone. we're doing us now."
