Whatever.
I love this site. Finally a place I can come to and not feel alone on the subject of not wanting kids ever. I am a 33 yr old female and I have never married. I can relate to how you feel on the subject of feeling pressured especially by the church. I applaud you for maintaining your faith and not letting anyone pressure you into anything. I deal with screaming kids all day at work. So, when I come home it is nice to enjoy peace and quite.
Thanks for being your awesome self – there really is no reason why women should have children, you are completely correct – it IS a choice. People forget that sometimes and miss out on some amazing life experiences to do what they think they “should” do. Well, let them
Thank you for this blog and for being a voice for childless people who don’t believe that the world must revolve around the whims of careless, self-absorbed parents and their ADD-inflicted children!
Thank you for this blog. It’s nice to know that I am not the only one out there who doesn’t want children. I come from a large family many of whom I believe, have had children because they believe it’s the right thing to do. It really is a choice and thanks for showing this.
