I won’t have kids and have been consistent on that for decades
I’m over 35 so into “geriatric” pregnancy territory
Due to health reasons, I am very unlikely to be able to get pregnant (even before I turned “geriatric”)
Age of other contributing party would also be a factor. Dudes in my age bracket and older are going to result in increasingly unfavorable odds of a baby with health problems.
Had she done that when you were younger and she assumed you would have kids? I can kinda empathise with that. Making them I mean… But giving them to you…? Yeesh.
The boomers assumed we’d follow the same predetermined path as they did. My mum certainly thought I would, and so did I up until my late 20s. It was then when I realised whenever I thought about having kids it was with a sense of dread for something I assumed was inevitable.
Lucky for me my sister had a whole bunch so the pressure was off.
My mom tried to give me baby clothes.

Did she purchase them with the intent of giving them to you or were they someone’s hand me downs and she thought you’d want them?
Either is pretty barmy to be fair.
Option three is even weirder. She sewed them herself intending to give them to me all along.
Oh wow.
