Scenario

When sisters protect family from their reproductive choices differently

My sister and I are both in our thirties and our mom keeps asking when we're going to have kids, but my sister is quietly trying and struggling with infertility while I've decided I don't want children, and neither of us wants to tell our mother the truth because we're protecting different versions of what we think she can handle.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two women are managing family expectations about motherhood while hiding their real situations from each other and their mother.
