I get this all the time. People ask what I hope to do with my life, and I tell them my plans, and instead of saying "wow, that sounds awesome" or "cool" they just say, "but you can't do that with kids". So I tell them no kids for me, and they just say that I'll change my mind eventually, or that I'll meet the right person someday. It's so offensive, implying that my life choices are so obviously wrong that not only can perfect strangers tell after knowing me for 2 minutes, but that they feel comfortable condescendingly informing me that I don't know my own mind.
