I think both desires (wanting kids, not wanting kids) should be considered equally valid, and both should be respected, without people trying to convince you out of your preference.

100% on board. In practice, however, you'll find that one side is a hell of a lot more pushy than the other...

Right?

When are you having kids? Thinking of having kids? We want brand kids when are you having kids?

Meanwhile no one asks parents "when are you giving up your kids?"
