Childless Adults Are Living Their Best Lives Even Without Having Kids

"The freedom to wake up whenever they pleased. More money for themselves. Peace and quiet.
These are just some of the reasons people have said they love about being child-free in more than 100 TikTok duets inspired by the New Zealand influencer Danni Duncan.

"If you're over 30 and don't have children, I want you to duet this and tell me what you love about not having children," she asked her followers in March, in a TikTok which has since gotten 700,000 views.

"Because I'm still reaching a lot of moms with kids, and misogynistic men, that keep telling me how lonely and sad my life is."

Immediately, people responded — many of whom also tagged #childfreebychoice, a hashtag which has drawn a collective 170.3 million views on the platform."

It's perplexing how many parents get so upset about other people's life choices.

[MishaleStarling]

Kids are not for everyone and nobody should have kids if they don't want them and some should not have them who do honestly.

[deadpixeldesigns]

You guys said it simply, ..."just let people do what they want" for their own happiness.

[Rainjojo]

Most people who pressure others to have kids live the most mediocre repetitive lives

Im 47 and knew at the age of 16 that I didn't want kids. It's wonderful. Life is pretty good

[stevecraig]

I'm 62, never had kids, not a day goes by that I don't feel blessed.

[debbysmith]

I was 17 when my dad almost broke my shoulder and bruised several ribs, I moved out, and swore to never have kids. I'm 63 now and don't regret that choice.

[ameygade]

I am 29 and single. Every time i am stressed because of my office work I think thank god atleast i don't have kids. I can manage it

[thehound]

I'm single, 60, never been married, never had a kid, nor have I ever really wanted one. Call me selfish, I don't care, but, I never wanted such a huge responsibility. I think to many have kids that really don't want to, and it makes kids into idiot adults.

Being an uncle or aunt is like being a grandparent without having to raise a mini you to start with. You get to play with the kids and have fun, then go home. It's fantastic.

In my experience people who are the most miserable being parents are the ones to try to guilt trip childless people. Genuinely happy people who love being parents are too busy to browbeat others over things that aren't their business.

[ms.ticklepickle]

Being childless was the best decision. No debt. No children to deal with. I have a cat. That's all I need.

[notyet]

Older woman free, debt free, mortgage free and drama free, been living my best life long before it became a thing.

[ericgeneric]

I'm in my early 40s and my girlfriend and I never wanted kids. Most of my friends have children and are miserable and broke. Not having kids is the best decision we ever made!

[shadowjudge]

I'm never having kids. I made that choice long ago. I'm actually going the distance and getting a vasectomy to make sure.
I don't have the patience for raising kids. I raised a cat from infancy, that was more than enough for me.
Also, I can't even imagine bringing a kid into the world as bad as things are right now. And I know they're going to get worse.

[ADHDIYuk]

I've never had children, never will and I've loved living my life the way I want, do what I want, to where I want, whenever I want.

[MissyRose]

I love my kids. However, as someone who grew up knowing they were an unwanted child, please, PLEASE don't have kids if you don't want them. The world is overpopulated, and filled with enough depression and trauma from those of us with crappy parents who resented our existence. Don't have kids if you don't want them. Don't have kids to save a relationship. Don't have kids to make your parents happy. Don't have kids because you think you're just supposed to. Don't have kids because you think you would be cute pregnant.

[dadada]

There are two types of people who pressure you a) parents who want to be grandparents for whatever reason b) people who insecure over their own decision to have them

[ThusSpratchScotty]

I’m 29 and I’m feeling nothing but blessed that I’ll be entering my 30’s without kids. All my friends and family around me look constantly exhausted raising theirs 😂

[heywaitaminute]

I was 26 when I had my tubes tied. I never wanted to be a parent, I never wanted kids, I firmly believe that the only reason a child should be brought into this world is because it's loved and wanted. 30 years later, I've never regretted my decision. There are people out in the world who should be parents and they do an awesome job of it, however, there are plenty out there who shouldn't be parents, but are, they don't do such a good job. Each person has their own choice to make, do what is best for YOU, not what society or religion tells you. You live your life the way you want, not how society tells you.
