I never see it brought up but. We were told not to constantly! Unless you were rich you weren't supposed to have kids and now they are shocked people listened to them. It's been said for at least 100 years

I had the same experience and always wondered whether I lived in a weird bubble. Maybe there's a couple of weird bubbles out there. But no one I know in my generation or the adjacent generations has ever been told or pressured into having kids. Hardly anyone had parents who took it for granted they'd have grandchildren. It was more like school first, career first, stability first, happiness first, self fulfillment first, and then maaaaybe you can think about whether you want a kid in your life but we don't recommend. All the sex ed throughout school was focused on how to avoid pregnancy and STIs and how to pleasure oneself and your partner (which I don't want otherwise, just pointing it out).

You may need to listen better. In all of that was the implied, “so you’ll be able to provide a good home for your family”. In all of that was the expectation that getting married and having kids were a normal part of life, but work much better when you establish yourself first
