ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A Michigan woman’s Facebook post about procreation is getting a lot of attention online.
In Emily Bingham’s post, she wrote “this is just a friendly P.S.A. that people’s reproductive and procreative plans and decisions are none of your business. NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.”
Bingham, who works as a freelance writer, said the questions can be hurtful for those deciding when to have children and others who struggle with infertility. She goes on to say it’s a sensitive topic that people need to be careful about discussing.
“I had dinner with some of my boyfriend’s family, and someone had made a joke about grandkids, pointed at me, and it wasn’t the first time I’d had somebody make a comment like that,” Bingham told the Detroit Free Press. “I’m 33. I’ve never been married. I’ve had people say things like, ‘You’re getting older, do you want to have kids? Your clock is ticking.'”
The post has been shared nearly 40,000 times.
