I thought the lack of children had more to do with people simply not being able to afford children given the current state of the economy? People in the newer generations can't keep up with inflation, outrageous medical costs, rising housing costs, all alongside student debt. My partner and I consciously decided not to have kids for this reason alone, despite the fact we'd like to. We just can't afford it, even in our 30's.

When men don't want children, its normal. But when women don't want children, it raises questions.

[@TajimaMunenori]

I was raised by a narcissistic woman and I find that I meet too many narcissistic women. I'm great believer that "All children deserve parents, but not all parents deserve children." My greatest fear is to be trapped in loveless marriage and the children are the collateral damage.

I am pregnant now at 40. The reason I got pregnant only now, not only because I focused on my career, it's because it took me a long time to find a man who shared the same values and goals as me and was ready to take a relationship seriously enough to build a family together. I've felt the pressure so long of "freezing eggs" and "getting older". I could just see now that I am really healthy to carry a pregnancy by doing everything naturally.

[@karenhull2826]

I never had children and have no regrets. Now my reason for that is kinda weird, but I was abused as a child and I'd heard so much about the cycle of abuse. I didn't want to do to a child what was done to me. I had a lot of anger problems so the chances were probably high. I got help and even now I have no regrets.

[@kateredhead7334]

I am a woman, aged 60, never married, no children. For me it was the right decision, it is the lifestyle that suits my personality. That being said, I encouraged all the young women who have worked for me through the decades, to remember that what they had was a job and only a job. We were all disposable at work. If what they wanted was a marriage, children and a family then they should save their money, plan ahead, find someone who they loved and respected and hand me their notice when they were ready to start their family. I could always replace staff. Their family could never replace them. Women fought for the right to choose our destinies. Wanting to be a wife and a mother is a fine choice and a service to our communities.

[@TheEmpress185]

Some women don't have children because simply they don't like them.The choice for a woman not wanting children and being aware of it helps preventing toxic parenting and mistreating children who in adulthood would bear deep emotional scars.It's not always about career,it can be a clear and simple conscious choice.

[@mmarriott5818]

I'm male, 59, childless and single. Having experienced life being childless and single for so long, I can guess a woman might have a lifestyle similar to mine. For me, and a lot of people, this is my best lifestyle.

[@jjkatz]

People who feel they have to do what society expects are either scared or can’t think for themselves. Do what’s right for you.

[@sugicasugarac686]

As a preschool teacher I can tell you that 9/10 people would be better off never becoming a parent. It is just not for everyone and thats ok. I don't understand why some people get pushed into parenthood with no education, poor as all hell, anger issues, drinking problems...They have no idea what to do with a child so they take them to the kindergarten all day, take them home and put them to sleep. Don't be afraid not to have kids. These are not the ye old days. You should be happy to live like you want to. It can be with a baby and/or a job you like.And please don't think a baby will fix a crappy life or a crappy relationship. Young girls be smart, do better.

[@challenger563]

Why don't we talk about having children is much more expensive nowadays than decades ago?

[@lilnavynurse84]

I never wanted children. Then when I got married my husband also didn't want to have children. When I was 34 I felt an overwhelming desire to have a child but my husband wasn't ready. Fast forward 2 years later and my husband asked me why we didn't have children. So, we decided to start a family. It was the best decision I ever made. My son filled a void in my life I didn't know I had. Especially, since I wasn't considered by many to be maternal. Becoming pregnant and having a child is a life changing experience. Fast forward to the present moment and we are expecting our 2nd child in May. I will say that parenthood shouldn't be rushed into if you aren't ready to commit. Parenthood is an extreme joy that nothing in life can compare to but it is also the hardest life journeys you'll ever embark on. So, be ready to fully commit and have a partner who'll support you on this journey. You'll find its one of the most fufilling things you've ever done.

[@dimitristripakis7364]

Do NOT do it if you don't feel it.

[@youdoyou1742]

I rather be a single than a single mom.

[@ihopeyouenjoyedreadingthis2030]

I did a lot of thinking as a child. I thought constantly about everything. As I grew older I realised I couldn’t have everything I wanted in life (the perfect career, husband, kids). I knew I had to pick one or the other. I choose what my heart wanted and I decided to get married and have my first child by 25. Im now 36, have 4 children and still married to an amazing man. I am a homemaker. And yes, I am very lucky that I found someone so young that was right for me and who could support us all. Once my children are older, I will look into joining the work force to earn extra money.

[@annmarieknapp]

Don't do it unless you are ready for any outcome. I did everything rught in pregnancy and it still went horribly wrong. I would NEVER have a child if I could go back in time and I absolutely never would have gotten married.

[@tiana4102]

I'm 28 and I'm so tired already without even having kids. Having kids would literally destroy me.

[@carolynjones-vanheezik9013]

I worked this out for myself. The ‘wanting it all’ of the 1980’s is actually having to do it all. I saw so many good, sensible women burnt out and thinking the problem was them. Cruel.

Just because you CAN doesn’t mean you HAVE to !
