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:
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.
