I'm childfree by choice: 10 reasons I'm not having kids

Ever since I was 16 I decided I did not want kids, so I chose a childfree lifestyle. Here are 10 reasons why I don't want kids.

Having children is a choice, NOT an obligation.

I'm 39 Years Old And Child Free. I'm Not Bringing My Future Children Into A World Of Pain And Suffering.

I was 15 when I knew I didn't want children. They gaslit me and told me "We'll see." Lol they SEE now that I wasn't playing!

My family angry because I refuse to have kids. Saves me so much money and time.

Always appreciate the childfree men making videos on this topic; it's mostly women who talk about it. You're a wise man, enjoy the freedom!

I’m 36. Don’t wanna get married or have kids. Domestic life seems boring anyway. But to each their own. Family life isn’t for everyone.

[RuthlessAries_QueenofSwords]

I am 38 and I chose not to have kids, and I am happy with my choice.

I don't really come across childfree people who aren't happy with where they are in life. Makes sense, they spend their time and their money doing what they want to do. Parents will never admit this because the most terrifying thing in the world for a parent to think is that they made a mistake having a child.

I'm a 55 year old woman who doesn't have children. I've also never been married. I completely relate with what you're saying here. Another thing that is not often discussed is that some people without children pick up the slack in society. For example, I worked in U.S. healthcare for 20 years with both children and adults in serious, traumatic situations. I don't think I could have contributed in this way if I had my own family. It simply would have been too much given what I saw and experienced on a daily basis. Having a family truly is all encompassing. And I agree with you...I started a one person consulting business and it truly is all encompassing. I couldn't imagine doing this with a family having to cater to the needs of multiple people. All the best to you and your endeavors.

"Not only is it very SELFISH but also EXTREMELY SICK to wish for your kids to witness your death or the process of your demise. I want to spare my kids from having to deal with all the stress and sadness that a human being can experience while watching how their own parents are dying, Therefore I decided to have no kids."

I'm childfree too. One of my biggest concern is the deteriorating state of the world we live in. Almost every part of the world is experiencing extreme weather patterns making living impossible. With corrupt government and no support from them it becomes even more difficult. As a female, I've seen the many ways motherhood becomes a burden on women. From lack of affordable healthcare to career taking a hit. It's a punishment for choosing to be a mother.
Since I'm CF, I get to explore my talents and work mindfully in my career and life. I'm so proud of the choice I made. Because of it I get to actively engage in things that matter. I'm hosting the first ever CF meet&greet event in my city. So grateful I get to bring people together and help build social connections.
Enjoy your Thailand trip.
Hope you visit us too someday.
Sending you good wishes from India

Well said man, no one should be told or forced to have kids, it is a choice not a must.

I have three kids and I can tell you anyone who isn't 100% committed will hate the experience and regret having them. If people objectively considered the reality of having kids, the commitmemt and sacrifice, the fertility rate would be even lower.

I’m 37 yrs old no husband or kids I’m not against marriage or children but I’m not desperate for it either. I love being child free and I agree parenthood is a life long commitment

For those commenting "who cares", I don't think this video is meant for you. I live in Chicago and I don't want kids, but that isn't a big deal here. When I visited a friend of mine in rural Louisiana, the first question asked everyone asked me was "Where are your wife and kids?" They got very judgmental with my response that I didn't want that, it made me glad that I lived in a place where I didn't have to deal with that. For many people in liberal cities, this video doesn't mean much. For those in small-town 'Murica, it might be a nice reminder you aren't alone.

[TimeTravelingHobGoblin]

Being honest, I don't want kids because I had an Fd up childhood...yep, that's my reason

[A_Muzik]

I’m 34. I’ve been childfree for the last 13 years. No regrets.

[NaiadFloss]
