i wonder why she felt u needed to hear this info asap and take action?
maybe she is happy about being pregnant and wants others to experience something that she feels is important to life?
on the other hand maybe she envies your freedom?

It is...and don't get me started on the high level of racism here (not that it doesn't exist all over, but....)

No she was trying to force her views on me that she thinks everyone should be married and settled down by 30. whatever...I swear...people make me so sick. If someone doesn't live "traditionally" , people feel like something is wrong with you and they need to shove their views on life in your face. I hope someone throws some hot oatmeal on her for giving some bull**** advice like that.

I am not married and have no kids, and currently plan to be that way for the rest of my life. I am perefectly content with my life the way it is, and find much happiness in everyday things. The social pressure though is ridiculous and it seems like every day i have to answer questions on whether Im gay, whats wrong with me etc etc? Why are people so shortsighted and caught up in living their life up to someone elses standards?

I was so shocked that I couldn't even get out any words at first. In the back of mind I was thinking," Please do me a favor and GO TO HELL" ...I so badly wanted to say that....


A few minutes later , I did tell her that is a selfish and TERRIBLE reason to have a child. She said," people have kids for selfish reasons all the time"... I was like "ok" and walked away..I didn't have time to argue with her.

I hate how people act like age 30 is a deadline for finding a mate or else your life is over. smh
Say to her, "wow, you are looking kinda big for 7 months, twins, right?"

I know it was bs, but it was surprising.
Yeah, that's complete bs.

I think the odds are against you if you marry and start having kids before the age of 30. I know very few people that married and had kids after the age of 30 then divorced. 2 couples is all I can think of that did but they had been married before. I think people make better choices if they wait, by then they know what they want and what they're looking for in a person.
