Why is the narrative always..when you have children....
It's just the constant contrariness of humans.
If you don't have children, people say 'when are you having children? Why aren't you having children?'
When you do have children, people say 'when are you having the next child? why are you only having 1/2/3 children?'
If you complain about parenting being hard work, people say 'why did you have children if you're just going to complain?'
If you complain that you want children, but can't have them, people say 'why do you want children? The world is overpopulated (or whatever reason)'
You can't win, whatever you do. So I've found it's best to just ignore all these silly comments.

I think much of the time, people just open their mouths and words come out. They don't engage brain before talking

yeah, that sort of thing is tiring. after all I've been through, no way I'd dare to have a human child. my cat child is enough. she cries enough, at any rate. much easier to take care of, though! :^)
I recall, when I was quite young, maybe not even a teen yet? learning about childbirth and being disgusted and terrified. literally decided I wasn't going to be birthing any children then and there. of course, as most parents would, my mom insisted I'd change my mind. HA! sure glad I never did
