It can be difficult for your friends and relatives to understand why you have chosen not to have any children and for them to accept your decision. If you’re sick of being asked, "When are you going to give me grandkids?" or, "What are you guys waiting for?", be sure to set some good boundaries and communicate clearly. If you wish, list some reasons why you’re child-free and enjoy your lifestyle. And remember to get on the same page with your partner.
