What's your opinion about childless couples? 你對於不生孩子的夫妻的看法如何?
Melissa : What's your opinion about childless couples? Will you choose to have no kids?
Nikki : To be honest, I wouldn't.
Melissa : Why? Do you have to make a choice now?
Nikki : Not really. But it has puzzled me for a long time.
Melissa : What's the puzzle?
Nikki : My husband and I prefer to have no kids, but my mother-in-law is very traditional and wants
grandkids.
Melissa : Oh, I see. I think the older generation tends to think in a different way.
Nikki : Yes. It seems she can never accept a childless marriage. We had a fight last night.
Melissa : Oh, really? Maybe she is just eager to see her grandchildren.
Nikki : But it's absolutely our own business to have a child or not.
Melissa : Definitely.
Nikki : You know, I often overhear our neighbor, the young couple, fighting about how to raise their kid
and I really don't want kids to spoil our happiness.
Melissa : Don't worry. I think in most cases, children are the glue that keeps a family together.
Nikki : I guess you're right. But I still prefer to have no child.
Melissa : Sure. You can fully enjoy your time together.
