The problem is, everyone wants to tell others what will make them happy.

The problem with this pro-family, pro-kids arguments are that they ignore the fact that there are people who should absolutely not be parents.

Children do NOT determine a person’s happiness! Neither does being single. It’s an INSIDE job. So people with kids and single people both can be happy. So do whats best for you!

59, no kids, hence no grand kids, one great life life partner, living my best life, very satisfied.

I’ve seen married people miserable. I’ve seen people with perfect families miserable. What these stats show is that there is no 1 road to happiness. Married, single, kids or no kids.

Once a person chooses to not care what society thinks, lives life the way they want and accepts their decisions, they will then allow themselves to be happy.

Women are not a monolith. What makes one woman happy will not do the same for another. Some women want to be mothers, and they will be happier if they have children. Others, like myself, do not, and will be happier without children. Women are individual people with different wants and desires.

You know what would make a childless woman more depressed? Constant being guilt tripped and being told or even convinced they failed as a woman, or that they are worth less, bc they don't have kids.

Just to add having children does not mean you won’t “ die alone” thousands of people with 5 and 6 kids are sitting in nursing homes lonely 🤷🏾‍♀️

If having kids makes you happy and that is what you want then have kids. Don’t expect your kids to make your life to be a picture of the perfect family life and happy. Have kids because that is what you want and because you are ready to be a good parent, Don’t have kids because everyone else is doing that!

Children are not for everybody, period.

[jennyperpa]

Tons of parents regret having children. There's multiple online forums of regretful parents seeking support from other regretful parents.

I'd rather regret not having kids than having kids and regretting having them.

[YRajkoomar]

The hardest thing, when you tried to have kids and you can't. it hurts every time. But we are happily married for 14 years, still going strong.

I'm not sold on society. I'm most at peace when I'm on my own, as are a lot of others. What I find disgusting is the level of judgement for that.

The difference I noticed between men and women is that men talk about marriage as a way of getting more things, help, kids, etc, for himself by having this relationship. Women talk about marriage as losing things like their health, beauty, time, dreams, and the overall feeling of being used when in a relationship. I once had a divorced male landlord who was looking for a new wife. The primary reason was that she could "help" take care of his aged mom.

[seipatipharoe]

The male obsession with tendency to obsess over women's decisions and lives as a collective is baffling and scary the lengths this men go just to make women doubt their reality and live in fear.

Not everyone is prepared to be parents.

Just turned 50, never married or had children. It was the best choice I could have made, I would have been miserable & likely not understand why. It is definitely 💯for others & I am happy for them. I have a life full of adventures traveling & working in new cultures. I am surrounded by the love & support of beautiful communities. My life is more amazing than I could have ever imagined. I live in peace & joy.

Happiness doesn't come from having kids. If you're empty on the inside, that's not going to change becaue you bring another human being into the world. Considering how many parents resent their kids, I'd like to think if she says she's happy, then she is.

[Meandyouisnus]

I have kids and I am miserable with kids. Big regret
