How do I tell my coworkers I don’t want children without making it awkward
I am a 25yo woman and I work in a male-dominated field. I’m getting to a point in my career where I’m expected to take some exams and get licensure. My coworkers keep saying things like “do you want kids? You should take the exams before you start a family or else you’ll never have time to study.” I’ve just been responding “no I don’t want children” and then it gets really awkward. It’s been mostly my male coworkers asking me so I think I’m making them nervous that I’ll call HR or something. I’m not offended and I know they’re just trying to help me, but I don’t know how to convey that.
