When does it become a stigma to not have children?

Question

I’m about to turn 29 and I have no offspring. My mom already resents for it but I don’t care. So when does it become a thing for ordinary people? Most jobs I apply at ask me why I’m not married or have kids. So maybe late 20s?

Are jobs allowed to ask you that 😮 none of their business. Wow.

you're young. If it’s something you want you got time. If not there’s no obligation for you to have kids. 😊

Never. I had a boss who died aged 65, never having had children (or a wife, either). In 2020, his might have been the safer option.

Where are you that these questions are allowed in a job interview? They ate illegal in the US.
