That's actually a reductive perspective and is not true. Often ieople who say that just want you to feel as fulfilled as they do and can't imagine anyone being able to feel fulfilled without having kids at some point. People don't fit in boxes, no matter which side of the argument they're on. If childfree people expect to not be put in boxes, they shouldn't put those who do want kids in boxes.

Very well. So I will share my experience with you: I said the exact same thing: I would never marry a man with children, but than, I met a men Who I really liked and we were compatibile but he had 2 children. He was divorced for 10 years already, the children were almost adults, boys, and they were living with the mother in another country. So we lived almost like a childfree couple for 5 years. Than, when his Little son was 20, he decided to come in the country where wre live to work with his father. It's been only 5 days from his arrival here and out life is completley changed (he doesn't live with us, he has his own apartament, but still...a lot of things changed for us). Now, I don't regret marying him because I love him, but I can tell you a child is a huge responsability and all I am waiting is for him to be 100% Independent (it's already happening) so we can live our life as we used to, alone. My husband wants that too. My advice would be...try to really not marry someome who has children. It's so complicated.

The married couple with the strongest and most beautiful relationship I've met was actually a child-free couple who lived across the street from me. They were in their 70's and absolutely adored each other. They both had incredibly fulfilling careers doing what they loved, had spent their younger years traveling the world, and were always doing things together. They had a workshop/shed in the backyard where she made stained glass windows and he welded and restored old books and instruments, and on the weekends they would travel around and visit estate sales together.

I also got this question and actually this is one of the reasons I want to stay childfree. My Grandma had dementia with paranoia and anxiety. My mother was her caretaker and I assisted her. It messed up our psychy so badly, I even developed major depression disorder due to this situation. Even if I would change my mind or get pragnant by mistake, I would NEVER want my child to go through the same like my mother and me. That would be vocious and selfish.

I've just always had zero maternal instinct, and I don't feel like I needed some of my own to have those great fullfilling moments with children. I prefer the role of "supporting adult" when it comes to kids, whether at work with the child customers, with my relatives' and friends' kids, charity work etc. My life is filled with kids, and the way I feel is good to me - and also good to those who do have children. It's a win-win situation.)

This is not quite adding up. From around 45 to 80 you can regret it for 35 years. Once a child turns 18 there is still financial responsibility but no more adverse impact to your personal freedom. Of course, the regret can start earlier. If at 38 the woman still wants a kid after all she may not be in the best position to find a suitable man at short notice and may regret having delayed it.

@@anegron3285 I hope your conditioning your child to be self sufficient at 18. You dont go through a massive mental, emotional change in the 24 hours between 17 and 18. Being an adult is a state of mind. When your 18 it simply means you’ve completed puberty and can no longer be called a child. Some kids get older but never grow up. You can’t say “Counting the years for him to be 18 and start his own life.” You have to ensure they are ready to live independently and teach them essential life skills, and give them age appropriate responsibilities, so they don’t move back in with you. Sorry you feel the way you do but at the end of the day, we all know how babies are made. There is to much birth control & contraception available to us, to be having kids if we don’t want them. Not judging you Idk your story, just stating a fact. My advice is to teach your child. Kids are more capable than we give them credit for. But until we give them the opportunity to practice more responsibility and independence, they won’t get the practice they need to eventually become functioning, competent adults.

58..zero regrets. I like my life with my husband and dog just fine. Kids do not fit into our life. We're always doing something. We don't have to find a baby sitter. Nor do we have to wonder if we can afford something because our kids need something. Just this week alone we..went out for a nice dinner to celebrate my hubby's promotion, took our dog to bark at the park baseball game, a wine party at the zoo, and this weekend were going to the mountains overnight. Next week I have yoga at the zoo, going to a concert, and throwing my parents a 60th anniversary party. And we are basically busy every week until the end of the year. And this is the way I prefer life to be. Meanwhile to many of my friends are so consumed with either still taking care of the grown assed kids (and not all of them because their child has a medical issue) or their grandchildren.

I could go on about my experiences dating some of these guys but I'm sure you can guess those relationships went nowhere. So I feel like I may never find someone because a lot of these single dads don't REALLY want a relationship with a women. They are still "married" to their mooching adult children.

The one comment I get the most, “who would take care of me? My kids will care for me”.It is not true, plus why parents put that responsibility on their kids. I grew up in a large family, I love my parents but they believe that just because they gave me life and a roof over my head until 19, I am in debt to them to watch them in their older years. That’s the selfishness of parenthood in my opinion. It is not unconditional love like most have believed over time. It does have conditions and big ones. I could not put that on I kid if I had one.

Who's going to take care of you when you're old? The same people that take care of just about every other person who needs help,a cna in a nursing home. You don't need kids for that. I worked in nursing homes for 15 years and it's sad the number of residents with children who never hear from them. Their children pushed them into a nursing home and left.

I still don't want kids or want to raise them, but I am starting to have concerns about the family line ending, and I don't know where that comes from. I have 3 siblings and I assumed they would all have multiple kids but me. But my brother doesn't want kids either, and my sister has 1 kid but he has developmental disabilities so we are assuming he will not ever have a partner or children. Only two of my three nephews plan on kids, one is on the way. It is odd that the family line is shrinking and not growing. My mom has 4 kids, but 4 grand kids, and probably just 2 great grand kids. But the weird part is, I can't pinpoint why it bothers me so much and where that's coming from. The uneasiness still doesn't give me any desire to raise kids of my own.

My entire family lineage ends with my generation. This happened on both sides, too. My sibs and cousins are all too old to have kids naturally, now.

My generation was the first generation to have access to reliable birth control, and no one wanted to have a disabled baby. So no one had babies at all.

I think a part of me feels guilty coz of all the grand-grandparents, grand-parents, parents that gave so much of their life to have kids, raise them good and to make an amazing family and i carry a peace of all of them in me and im ending it all... Realisticly its not like we are royalty and it matters for my goverment that we cobtinue the line hahah so i dont know why i feel like this.. its also not an ego thing.. in a way i feel every new generation is a tribute also to all the old generations... Part of me feels bad coz my family is really special and amazing people for generations so i kind of maybe feel bad not using all those good genetics 😅😅 sooo weird... I also feel bad for all the properties we have.. my family worked soooo hard for generations (me2) to build foe the family and then in the end all that work will be for noone.. its makes me feel quilti 🤷💟

I turn 54 this Sunday (June 25th). I do not regret being childfree. I knew very early that I didn't want children. I just don't like kids or teenagers. Hell, I can barely stand young adults. I also didn't want to be married. I knew that early on too. I don't even want a pet. I just don't want to be bothered. Coming home to complete and utter peace is everything I have wanted ever since I left home at 23 years of age. I just didn't see being married and raising kids as a great life. God willing, my parents will celebrate 66 years of marriage this August. They had me and my brother, who passed in August 2020. He waa 62. I grew up in a loving home with the bestest Daddy in the whole wide world!! Yes, I'm a Daddy's Girl and I'm spoiled rotten until this very day. So, it wasn't my upbringing. I just prefer to be alone. I'm childfree, husbandfree, relationshipfree, dramafree, and any other kind of free you can think of. I wouldn't give that up for nothing. I live the life I want. I have absolutely no regrets. Be blessed but, more importantly be a blessing....🙏🏾

I am a little worried about the lead up, not the 'dying alone' zone (I'll be fine in the nursing home era) it's the years leading up to that, the 60's to 90's zone. I'm an only child and only grandchild. I wont have extended family support when I start to struggle with technology or cant drive, but am otherwise right to live on my own. I think about all the support my mum and uncle have given my grandparents and it's been a lot. I also don't have a partner and likely wont ever seek one out. That said, I wont change my mind. Having kids wont guarantee that support and I know it's not the right path for me. I'm sure I'll figure it out when I get there.

At least you aren't in denial like so many people. It's not the deathbed - it's the extreme loneliness and lack of support in old age that is the issue. Also the reality is an extremely low percentage of kids ignore their loving elderly parents. Kids do cut parents out of their lives but most times the parents were abusive, critical, or non supportive to their kids growing up.

52 years old childfree woman here and no, I don't regret not having kids at all, the contrary is the fact, with every passing years my choice of being cf gets reeinforced. Thar said, the truth is no one can say what is going to happen in the future, so being realistic , yes, there is always a possibility that you can regret your choices no matter if the choice is to be cf or becoming a parent. As I see it, I think it is better to regret being cf than regreting a child. At the end , it doesn't matter what people think, only you can take the best decision for your self. Having kids out of fear for ending alone when you get old isn't a good reason to bring a whole human into this world. 1. It is unfair for the kid and 2. Residences for the elderly are full of parents whose kids just don't care.

Never had babies and I retired at 51 years. Having children while living in America is way, way, way too hard for non-rich people. If I had been rich, I may have had kids, but I've never felt financially secure enough to even take time off work for maternity leave. I have some strong feelings that someone should be a stay-at-home parent when the kids are still living at home. Both of my parents worked full time and I basically had to raise myself. I'd never do that to a kid. Since I never earned enough as a 20-30 something to live on a single income, so...kids never happened.

I've also worked at elderly care unit, and weekly visits were a rare thing to whitness - let alone daily visits. I think the most disappointed in life customers in the unit were the elder people who had sevelar adult children, who had indeed bought the "they'll take care of you when you're old" saying and tuns out none of them would do so. On the other hand, some of the most positive and content with life people in the unit were ones with no children, who had lived the kind of life they truly wanted, and had no unrealistically high hopes of relatives nursing them, but had instead taken the matter into their own hands and made sure they'll have the assistant they need when they get older. As a side note, you shouldn't count on having a partner supporting you on your elder days either. So many relationships end in breakup, and even they didn't, the harsh truth is that one of you will die earlier than the another - sometimes even decades earlier. So, no matter what's your circumstances in life, it is a very good idea to make practical preparations for your elder days well ahead. It doesn't have to be a sad thing, it can be a positive experience, where you feel empowered by the fact that when you plan carefully, you'll have power over your life even when you're old.

I've seen people have kids for ridiculous reasons "to take care of them in old age", "because couples get bored in 2-3 years with each other, they need something to give them purpose and bonding", "because family/society pressure", "society will consider us infertile".. and the most horrible reason was that some women want to have kids because when their first kids are older they stop getting attention and importance from their families. So they want to be pregnant again to receive that. It's horrible out there. My parents were doctors but both were emotionally immature and at 30 I was still suffering. Only recently I've begun to feel nice about myself. I will never have children unless I feel I can provide absolutely everything necessary to them, including love, emotional support,etc. But considering I'm an introvert, need a lot of quiet and alone time, have Aspergers syndrome and my husband has ADHD, we won't be having kids.

Some people may think that way but I'd be groaning at the prospect that my (hypothetical) adult daughters and/or sons will dump their grand-babies onto me whenever they wanted to go out to have some fun away from the kids. I'd soon be feeling used! Luckily, I don't have to worry about being swarmed by screaming kids, because I didn't have children in the first place! No children = no grandchildren! No baby sitting!

I strongly prefer being around adults largely because they're independent people so it's just not in me to raise a child. I've always felt that i like kids but only in small doses. I have younger siblings and cousins and i see them from time to time but then i go home to my own child free house and that's just how i like it.

I would love it if there was a child-free home for the elderly. I'd book myself in it with all the other child-free folks and we'd talk about our different travels, life experiences, literature, playing games, being naughty and playing pranks until we visit each other to help see each other off (wearing white at my send-off ). My family surrounded my grandparents and two older aunties who all passed from cancer. All my 5 sisters and I are on diets and exercise regimens to prevent getting cancer, clearly somewhat traumatized by it. Death is profoundly inevitable but I don't want to do that to my family. I cherish and make the best of the moments I create with all of them NOW. My death and I are intimate - I've always been dark like that. Every day I remind myself, "I am going to die". I might even do an Odin-style death from Thor Ragnarok, sitting on a bench on a cliff in a beautiful country and appreciating the fact I've been gifted with life with all my cherished memories, admissions, gifts and laughter in love.

Your not promised anything in this world

I've been teaching ice skating to kids for 5 years. I LOVE teaching kids how to skate. . .when they want to learn it. Half the kids don't really enjoy it and some throw a tantrum. Once they aren't interested lessons, I'm not interested in them. But when they enjoy the lessons, I enjoy them. But, I also teach adults and the same feelings apply. Kids are humans, just smaller. I don't love all of them.

You can potentially end up with a lot better people around you if you get to pick which ones they are rather than the stranger you birth.

I've known absolutely nobody that chose not to have kids, and regretted it. I have known parents that seriously regretted it. Completely anecdotal, but seeing the lived experience of parents makes it an easy decision not to have children personally. I do not want to go through the horrors of pregnancy, tantrums, financial difficulties, and responsibility. I have bipolar disorder inhereted from the women on my maternal side, and i dont want to take that gamble of putting this intense and excruciating disorder on another human being. I have watched someone who is unstable emotionally parent and saw the damage that woman did to her poor child and while i know that i would likely be a "better" parent than she is I dont want to risk potentially damaging my child because they inherit my generational trauma. My line may end with me, and that is a good thing. No more children will have to bear the weight of this screwed up family history ever again.

Its weird for me because I grew up really wanting kids, but then these past 2 years I went through the entire experience with my sister with birth, newborn stage, starting to crawl and walk and let me just tell you its HELL. my husband experienced it too and is literally going to get a vasectomy now, I am completely fine being an aunt but I cant imagine my germ freak self throwing around dirty diapers like she does all day and the constant cleaning it takes, she is constantly needing to throw the kid at other people to babysit it so she can work to even afford it and we both have weak arms so even holding the baby around alone really painful, the child needs 24/7 attention so its pretty much all you can do all day long. no freedom

@@supershinjin1441 you learn to manage but sadly not everyone does. I happily chose my 3 kids. But the house is a mess. I am not learning. Knowing you want to be child free is a valid option and wise people know and decide. I am interested in this content because my oldest expresse considering it. And I want to learn about it. And understand. Not going the traditional road is best for some of us.

I don't have kids, I'm 39 years old and I do not regret it. I mean is fine if you want to have kids, if that makes you happy, but not bc of pressure. I think some people think that happiness is a formula and it's not.

3:16 This is the sad reality. I remember many years ago, reading an Ann Landers column from a woman who explained that while she was in the hospital in a coma, her family came to visit. While they were in her room, they were discussing who would get what of hers after she died! But she came out of the coma and wrote to Ann, explaining that she could hear her relatives talking and how she no longer trusts her family and cautioned the readers to know that being in a coma isn't the same thing as being unconcious.

I can’t imagine life without having kids. I respect people who choose not to have them. I also have great empathy for those who can’t have children but want them. My eldest Son whose 15 says he wants to marry one day but he child free. I think he’s still young but I told him if he still feels this way when he finds his “Future Wife” he needs to be up front early on.

Some people say by not having kids there stopping another person from being born. And what about if there parents didn't have them. But the thing is if someone justs has 2 or 3 kids. They are still stopping other people from being born. Theres lots of other kids they could of had. If they are the 6th kid if there parents didn't have 6 kids they wouldn't be hear. And we might not be hear if are parents had sex at a different time it could have been someone else

I’m 68, married for 43 years, retired for ten years, and happily child free. I’ve heard all the crazy things people say from bullying, to the ones who will pray for you because you haven’t been gifted with a child. Amazingly, I have had dozens of parents secretly tell me that they wish they had the courage to not have children. So many people who regret such a huge decision. So sad. I do hope their children don’t know because that could be devastating.

I've never wanted kids unfortunately fell pregnant once at 19 after making one bad decision. I carried to term gave baby up for adoption I've no regrets I know the kid had a better life with someone who wanted them and couldn't have their own kid. I'm asexual hated the one and only sexual encounter I had and the nine months of pregnancy. I have no interest in getting into a relationship im a introvert with extreme anxiety around people. I live a quiet solitary happy life with my two dogs. I run a small online selling business from home that brings in enough to cover my rent, bills, pet insurance and means I don't have to do a job I hate stressed out and surrounded by people. I don't need a lot to survive as I have no interest in going out or spending money on socialising. I'm a night owl and like to stay up late watching movies or on RU-vid and sleeping until noon or walk the dogs in the people free quietness of dusk or dawn. Having a child would be messy, loud, stressful for me. You have to give your whole life up for them, you have to work jobs you hate and stress you out to make enough money to provide for them. You have to be social and take them out to parks and have playdates with other kids and talk to parents because its not fair on kids to be kept away from the world if parents are introverts. You have to attend parent teacher meetings and be smart enough to help with school work which has got so freaking advanced. Sleeping in in the morning is a thing you'll never have again when you have kids you'll never again be able to have a moment peace or do anything for yourself everything you do has to be for the child. Not enough people truely think it throw before they have kids and how it will change their whole life. Woman don't have to have children it's not their sole purpose and its better for a child to have a parent who wants them and is equipped to deal with the difficulties of parenthood than be neglected or not treated well. If people want children then they should definately have them or even adopt them but if they don't want them they shouldn't have them because it's not good for a parent or the child if they weren't wanted or if the parent is incapable of taking care of them.

Nice video! It would be also very interesting to see a video about really young people, who decided not to have children in the future. I'm turning 24 next month and one of my personal values is to modify my lifestyle into a life, where I would focus more on work and hobbies and not on children. My family members will need my help and I want to be here for them, like a handy uncle. But some people tell me that I'm still young and that I will probably change my mind or regret it. That could be true of course, but I have different mindset right now. If I did decisions that don't lead to having children, I would probably not want them. Persecution of young people should also be a part of a discussion...
