If someone were to ask me why I will not be having children. Ever.

Here’s my answer.

I responded with this on Reddit to;

“What’s something as a child free woman (by choice) you wish you could say to those with children”

My response.

Never tell them they were a mistake, not wanted, should’ve be aborted. Any of the hateful evil shit. Even if it’s true 🫣.

That’s something you literally never forget. Hearing your mother say something like that to you.

I’m 24 and made the decision at 14 to NEVER have children. Actually had to stand on business twice. All because of how my childhood was and how my parents were/are towards me.

I can never see myself having a child. My mother took the want of motherhood away from me. I never want my life to get to a place where I actually tell my child something like that, and don’t feel horrible.

I am living my happiest life and determined on doing whatever I want. We all know children get in the way when you want to live life for yourself.

I am literally living my dreams right now. Everything I’ve been manifesting for, the universe is just giving back. To sit back and actually look at my life and how I did this is such an amazing feeling.

A call every now and again to them is nice, obviously, but I should be allowed to live my life independently without worrying about whether I called mum and dad to say hi. This goes for grandparents too, like they're retired and most of them don't do much else, they can set time aside to keep in contact with their grandchildren.

I dont understand where it came from, that its the child's responsibility to look after the parent after a certain age, its sounds selfish but like 2020 is all self love and shit i just feel like i want this out there, why do I have to spend my life looking after my parents when they brought me into this world and I should continue to be their responsibility (to a point, im just talking about spending time, keeping in contact and general conversations) until they die.
