[speaker001:] what's your opinion about childless couples? Will you choose to have no kids?
[speaker002:] to be honest, I wouldn't.
[speaker001:] why? Do you have to make a choice now?
[speaker002:] not really. But it has puzzled me for a long time.
[speaker001:] what's the puzzle?
[speaker002:] my husband and I prefer to have no kids, but my mother-in-law is very traditional and wants grandkids.
[speaker001:] oh, I see. I think the older generation tend to think in a different way.
[speaker002:] yes. It seems she can never accept a childless marriage. We had a fight last night.
[speaker001:] oh, really? Maybe she is just eager to see her grandchildren.
[speaker002:] but it's absolutely our own business to have a child or not.
[speaker001:] definitely.
[speaker002:] 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.
[speaker001:] don't worry. I think in most cases, children are the glue that keeps a family together.
[speaker002:] I guess you're right. But I still prefer to have no child.
[speaker001:] sure. You can fully enjoy your time together.
