Exactly.

And there's also a lot of people that think that just because you don't want kids, you must hate them or something. (We don't hate 'em - we just don't want to be around them forever.)

Spoiler for for your eyes only - and anyone else's, I don't care:
I'm just glad your mum's finally getting her head around this - if my super Christian bible-thumping mother can accept that her daughter and future son in law aren't going to be having any grandchildren for her, I'm pretty sure your uniquely intelligent, liberal mother can. Love her dearly.
