Have you made the choice to be childfree ?if so why or when did you make this decision?for me i was 14 and it came as a natural choice for me how about you,people said i would change my mind but im 28 now and i still havent.
Yes. I don’t think I ever consciously made the choice, I have just never liked the idea of being a mom. I never even wanted to play with dolls as a kid, although I used to assume that when I got older my maternal instinct would kick in and I’d want some. It just never did. Luckily I found a guy who also has no desire to be a parent.
People said I would change my mind, too. I also get called selfish a lot. Some people just cannot wrap their minds around anything “different”.

Yes I am. And I made the decision when I realized I really didn’t have what it took to be a good mother. I wasn’t and am not selfless enough.
I only wish more women would think long and hard about it before becoming mothers…it isn’t a job for everyone, just because you have the ability, physically, to give birth…

I was child free up until age 38, when I got pregnant by accident.
I adore my daughter to pieces, and can’t imagine life without her. It’s an overwhelming love no one can explain to you until you experience it.
HOWEVER…it’s a ton of work and it’s certainly not for everybody, so I respect the choices of people who choose to remain child free.

I was 16 when I decided to be childfree. I’m 18 now and I have yet to regret making that decision. I’m childfree because I don’t trust myself to be a good mother, and there are too many other things I want to do with my life.
