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.
