House of Cards S4:E12 27 mins in
I need to memorize this.
H - "Do you regret it, not having children?"
C - blank expression
H - "Oh, I'm sorry, that's too personal."
C - "Do you ever regret having them?"
H - mouth hanging open

What's so confusing? Never even watched the show, but it makes clear the point that many people think it's socially acceptable to ask if someone "regrets NOT having kids" but no one would ever "dare" ask if you DO regret having kids

I saw that too and loved it!!
Love HOC and they have touched on wondering if not having kids was the right choice, etc.
But to be asked such a personal question... I was glad that was her reply !
I loved it!!
PS - I may use that line one day. (I Couldn't have kids, but you know the next question is always - why didn't you adopt?")

I get it but my mouth would never be hanging open. I would answer no. Just like I would think someone else who didn't have kids would answer it too.

Did you watch it? Do you get the double standard there?
People are always quick to judge a woman who chose not to have children but never judge those who choose to have them.
It was pretty awesome.

HAHAHAHAHAHA I love it.
Totally adding that one to my Arsenal of responses when someone is pushy/out of line with their questions about kids.

No, I don't watch it but I got the idea what it meant.
I guess because I have kids I don't find it that great as I would just answer the question and yes I have had things said to me about having kids by people who are childfree.
We are not all immune to snide remarks that people with children ask childfree people. (not that I find anything right with any of these questions, they are all rude).
