Do You Want Kids? and Other Lazy Questions
Manage episode 505806418 series 2913578
Kids, choices, birthrates, burnout. Why brunch might be cheaper than babies in 2025.
Let’s talk about the question every woman gets asked but no one wants to answer:
“So… are you having kids?”
In this razor-sharp episode of Currently Cringing, I unpack the real reasons behind declining birthrates, the invisible labor of eldest daughters, the mental load of motherhood, and why for many of us, babies aren’t broken dreams — they’re just not the dream.
From frozen eggs and financial freedom to histamine flare-ups and hypervigilance, this episode explores the emotional, cultural, and economic math behind fertility in 2025 — and why brunch is often cheaper than babies.
🔹 Why I froze my eggs — and may never use them
🔹 Eldest daughter syndrome = early burnout
🔹 Baby bonuses, daycare inflation, and why the math isn’t mathing
🔹 “I’d be a great mom… but do I want to be?”
🔹 Choosing legacy over diapers
This is not a mommy-shaming moment or a childfree cult sermon. It’s a reality check — with jokes.
If you’ve ever wondered:
- “Do I want kids or do I just feel pressured?”
- “Is motherhood the only way to leave a legacy?”
- “Why does everyone keep asking me about babies like it’s 1952?”
Then this episode is for you.
🎧 Listen in for a hilarious, honest, and deeply reflective look at what it really means to choose — or not choose — parenthood today.
