Top 10 REASONS Why I Decided to Live CHILDFREE!

I've decided to live a #childfree life. Here's some reasons why:
1. Children are expensive.
2. Kids are a lifelong obligation.
3. Raising children is stressful.
4. Kids are a joint venture.
5. I might not be a good parent.
6. I don't see the point in having kids.
7. The world already has plenty of kids.
8. I'm too old to start having kids.
9. Parents have to hang out with other parents/kids.
10. My kids might not be well behaved.

Main reason to not want kids is having complete silence. I was open to having children when I was in my 20's...that's only if I found a compatible husband. Never happened. Now that I am in my 40's, I am actually relieved that I didn't have any children. Single and childfree. I love my independence and solitude. Not to mention sleeping 8-10hrs every night. Raising children to adulthood is not for everyone...especially not in this chaotic world.

[@EC777]

I’m right there with you. I was open to it when I was younger if I found a husband, but i didn’t. I never had that maternal instinct and I placed finding a good partner over kids.

Back in the day, I got into an argument with my mother and sister in law, and they shamed me for not wanting to be a mother. This was when my husband and I were first married, and my sister in law had just had her first baby. She gave me the speech about how she's carrying on her bloodline, how she sees her grandfather in her son, and how parenthood is so sacred and magical, and blah, blah, blah. Fast forward to today, She's been married twice, and both men cheated on her and left her. she has three kids who are living with my mother/father in law who are both retired, old, and decrepit. Their house is always a mess. They never get any peace and quiet. My father in law is always looking for an excuse to get out of the house. One of the kids ran away to live with his girlfriend and isn't going to school. So now, my sister in law who is currently in jail for not being able to pay her taxes may be getting charged again because her oldest son won't go to school and no one can get a hold of him. These aren't the only problems she's faced, but I'm not going to write a book on here. Although part of me feels bad for them, I can't help but smile out of spite when I think of how they shamed me for not wanting to be a mom.

And, noone really wants to hear about how you’ve managed to carve out more choices and options for your life. But, not feeling stuck between kids and aging parents while trying to manage debt and a changing economy means that you have enough space around you to complete adult challenges without it coming at the cost of your health. I can be more of service to others by not running on empty all the time. I counter that my choices aren’t selfish because everyone benefits having others practicing positive adult regard toward others. You could take this show on the road Tim…oh wait you already are!

I’m 40. I don’t have any children. I witnessed first hand how hard single parenting was for my mom. Our society doesn’t support the health and wellness of parents or children. My mother was extremely stressed and, as her primary support system (I was the oldest) so was I. All we do is make cuts to social services that parents and children need: school buses, schools, resource teachers, after school programs, social workers, recreation centers. I don’t miss being a child and I can’t imagine growing up in today’s world. Public areas like parks and waterfronts have become encampments and the local children in my county don’t have many places where they can socialize and hang out. More than ever parents have become a 24hr taxi service for their children and their children’s friends, shuttling them around to safe places where they can interact and build social skills. Things are very different now. To me, being a parent AND being a child in today’s world looks very isolating, like prison. Sry for the long ramble.

I used to want having kids a lot to a point where I felt scared that I wouldn't, until last year this was the situation. However, after getting married to a prick, I got abandoned after a year of our marriage with no reason whatsoever. It was a traumatic experience for me but opened up my eyes to the bitter reality of the world we live in today. That reality is that you can't trust anybody, even the person you get married to, with anything let alone having kids with them. I realized that single parenting is very scary, especially as a woman, having to sacrifice your body, time, energy and everything into kids that you made with the person you once trusted with everything, but chose to cheat on you, dump you or act abusive towards you. A big no for me. In an ideal utopic world, where the father is all loving, loyal, honest, responsible and the mother caring and nurturing, that would seem very nice to have, but it's just an ideology which happens to fail 99% of the time because of the current world we live in. Everyone talks about how nice it is to have a family with kids, but nobody talks about how untrustworthy, irresponsible, unfaithful and unreliable people have become and once you get divorced, it is even worse, because now the children have to pay the price. It's all a huge mess that I am not interested in to be involved with. I'd rather maintain my fit healthy looks, be with the person I want to be with, and not have to worry about what'd happen if one day they betray me.

Like if one person sees another person having a child, they get jealous and eager to want a child of their own because we are all about trying to compete and compare each other lives like it’s a competition.

Huh. I have no idea what that was about. BTW I'm kind of a Goth/Bohemian black chick, much more so then. I guess that is why he made such a strong judement about my nature as we met. Needless to say I quickly moved on. People are so freaking strange. I actually never even thought about the bigotry angle. Kudos to you for mentioning that.

[@ameenahameed8874]

I’m mid 40s and although I wanted kids, it never happened. But at this point I’m able to see the gifts in having kids but also the gifts in not having kids - there are also blessings in being child free. Parenting is a huge blessing but also a major responsibility that I just don’t have 😂 It’s good to hear about this experience from a male perspective so thanks for sharing.

[@erickanew]

When i was 28 I was depressed thinking I would never have kids. After I had a kid, I loved her. The only thing that rings true from the video is the constant worrying. The older they get, the more you worry about their safety. They don't listen, get crazy husband's. I can definitely see a childless person living a lot longer. The stress is unreal!!!

All a man needs in life is full control of his money, his peace and control of his own narrative.

As a woman I want that control too over my life.

I totally agree with this. I have total control of my money, my time, my freedom, my space and property, zero chaos, trauma, drama, my sleeping time, totally happy.

[@derrickpangilinan]

Personally, if your miserable in life, I find it a great cruelty to bring children into this world just for the sake of doing so. Based on economic models, assuming the kids live a standard and average life, they would be in more poverty than what we have right now due to rising inflation.

[@beaulieuc8910]

Imagine having a horrible child and he grows up to be a murderer and you end up saying 'oh my little Oliver is innocent, he wouldn't dream of going on a shooting spree at college. So many love and support their kids now matter what a demon they are I could do not that. I would go estranged from him there and then and make sure he goes to prison

@txlyons2937 Granted, I know some men also get flack for being single and childfree, but it is nowhere near what women get. Women have to do the actual work of pregnancy and child birth to get the kids here after men skeet. Let a woman make this same video, and the comments would be completely different.

Finally, I hear about the childfree lifestyle from the male perspective. I knew I was going to be childfree after eating at McDonald's and asked the cashier to have my food to go because I just couldn't stand the sound of bad kids running all over the place screaming their heads off. I was 22 at the time, and I haven't changed my mind about it since. Discovered your channel via @childfreeblackwoman. Say hello to your newest subscriber.

Also never date or live with a baby mamma. For many of the same reasons listed and because in some states you can end up paying child support for children that are not yours, if you break up. "You bonded with the children by taking on father roles" and "It is in the best interest of the children" are the two reasons the courts will give.

[@Europa1749]

The courts will pin child support on anyone they can get their hands on who had a connection to the child.

I gave the "stepdad" thing a shot in my mid-40s. I thought I could do it. I met a great woman with two preadolescent kids and after 3 years of me giving all the love I could and not getting any back, I found out in the hardest and most painful way that parenting is not for me. Funny thing is, I still miss her and her kids.

[@tbc9096]

That’s never an easy thing to do. I’ll be an uncle pretty soon, but will I ever see the kid? Probably not. My dad’s side is estranged as is, but I have a feeling I could do the uncle thing better than a parent

[@gogicbasic7629]

I absolutely agree with you in everything! Married, 37, my wife is 41, happily childfree. I have a well-paid job, I work hard and a lot. I don't want to spend my free time around crying, annoying and loud kids. I need peace! Another reason is that kids cost too much, they are so expensive. I want to travel, go out, go shopping, go to good restaurants, etc., that's life for me. Luckily, my wife also doesn't want kids at all and isn't a fan of them. We like the same things... We spend our money ONLY on us and we don't want anyone else with us in that.

[@jaydenrise7186]

I’d like to add my biggest reason why I’m not having kids. I don’t recommend life. There is far more pain and suffering that is to be experienced than pleasure and joy - even for the average and above-average quality lives. The most common feeling the average person feels on a day-to-day basis is tired, and it is more common to hate yourself than it is to not. Plus, none of us asked to be born. A lot of people say it’s immoral to pierce a baby’s ear because they can’t consent to it, but don’t realize they’re forcing a new being in a world where they’ll have to work a crappy job they hate for 50+ years without a guarantee that it’s going to even pay for their base existence. We spend the majority of our lives working so we can pay for our ability to go back to work the next day. How much money do we spend on our rent/mortgage and utilities for a space we use mainly to sleep in so we can go to work the next day to pay for it? What about our cars that we use mainly to drive to work and back: payment, gas, insurance, maintenance, etc.? All of that adds up to half your take-home if you’re very lucky. Most of our time not working is spent decompressing from it by using coping/escape-like mechanisms like music, algorithmic entertainment such as TikTok, KZbin, etc. I was born in 1999, and the fact that I couldn’t experience all the small and large pleasures I’ve ever experienced in my life in 1998 has not harmed me in the slightest. But all the pleasures in my life pale in comparison to the fact that I’m going to eventually leave existence, which is far more painful than never having come into it (aka, my life in 1998) - and all the suffering and boringness I’ve experienced, which is average in comparison to the general population. The only things we can guarantee our kids is suffering and death. No pleasure in life is guaranteed, even if you’re the best parent in the world. There is chronic pain, but no chronic pleasure. Our children are literally 10 million times more likely to get cancer than to cure it - or to even contribute meaningful research towards a cure. Sorry for the long ramble. Just my two cents. I like my life. I just can’t imagine giving it to someone else where none of the good things in it are guaranteed. Hope this wasn’t too doom-and-gloom. 😂

[@Darksky600]

You explained it better than I could have. Imposition and indoctrination. Antinatalism. I feel tired everyday, hooked on energy drinks and coffee. Other people are hooked on weed, alcohol, cigarettes, games, xxx etc...we're all just doing all these things, coping/distraction from pain and boredom.
