Not having kids (by choice or by chance) is a perfectly healthy and normal thing to do. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Just listen to the women who attended the first-ever Not Mom Summit, a safe-space conference for those who are childfree. They put forward a solid list of what you should never say to people who don’t have children.
I fucking hate hearing “THAT’S SO SELFISH?!”
I’ve heard, “Without kids your life is empty, you’ll leave no legacy behind. What do you even live for?” No joke. This was from another woman, who honestly thought my life had no meaning if I was never going to have children.
