Episode 2500:

Asking, “Are you going to have kids?” may seem like small talk, but Alysha Jeney highlights how this common question can be deeply personal and even painful. Whether someone is facing infertility, relationship conflicts, adoption struggles, or simply choosing a child-free life, the assumption behind the question can add unnecessary pressure and emotional weight. Instead, Jeney suggests more open-ended and neutral conversation starters to foster connection without unintentionally causing discomfort.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.modernlovecounseling.com/are-you-going-to-have-kids/

Quotes to ponder:

"Maybe asking about children is strictly out of curiosity or to make the small talk less uncomfortable, but unfortunately, this simple question can bring up a lot of emotion for someone who may be struggling with complexities that are not on our superficial radar."

"Often times asking about children imply we are supposed to have them and it can be hurtful for people who may have difficulties creating this for themselves and/or who have chosen to not have them at all."

"Instead of asking, 'Are you going to have kids?' try being more mindful of these potentials moving forward."
