“I’m 43 with no kids. I do what I want when I want. If I feel like going away for a long weekend, I do. Most importantly, I’m still me. My life and identity are not defined or controlled by a small human who demands that I satisfy their every wants or they throw a tantrum.”

“I don’t find 99% of children’s activities or interests even remotely enjoyable. Why should I sacrifice my time, money, sleep, and freedom for a child that would only add stress and work to my life? Because society says I should? No way. I’ll let other people sacrifice to have kids while I spend my time how I like without worrying if a 3-year-old-is enjoying the activity of my choosing.
