One of the most awkward things I experience as someone who is firmly child free is having close friends who either are parents, or are aunts/uncles/godparents and want to talk about their child to me all the time (which I understand to an extent!) But I’ve never had that “awww cute” feeling, so I have to fake an interested reaction every time. I’m never going to be rude, but it is frustrating when deep down I wish I could say I really just don‘t care. I tend to just distance from these people, they deserve friends who want to hear about their kids, and I deserve cute cat pictures instead of baby pictures!
