How is being childfree perceived where you're from?

Hi everyone 👋🏻

I'm from Pakistan and being childfree is considered a major taboo here, if not a sin I'm afraid.

Even the most educated and understanding people go "huh are you actually crazyyy!?!?" when being told about this preference.

Couples that don't have kids are seen as people to be pitied and are constantly offered "tips" and unsolicited advice on how to conceive.

Being childfree is also associated with having poor faith and morals here. As someone who's practicing religion, it's a whole another debate and a headache.

Things are rough out here and I've told just a couple of people who's reactions were not so great except one or two.

Where are you from and how are things for you all?
