Let's discuss and touch on some of the key benefits of childfree individuals existing in our society. Some we know all too well and well others, more than often get overlooked.
I don't regret not having kids. I've never had a 'maternal instinct'. I look at how much modern technology is gradually taking over jobs people used to do. I wonder what jobs will be available in 15 years time, when the babies of today, leave school? 10 years ago, I saw my former friend, she's my age. She's now a grandmother. Her other older, adult daughter, doesn't want any kids at all. She isn't interested in her 2 nephews at all ! My former friend said "she'll change her mind, one day, then I'll have more grandkids". I told her "I never changed my mind, I never wanted kids & I never had kids". "It's her choice". I am so happy I stayed 'childfree'. I love my freedom. I own my house, I have a job, pets, great friends & hobbies. My life is busy. My friends are all childfree. 😊👍😸🐶♥️
some of the greatest minds in history were childfree. they devoted their time to their work. Thich Nhat Hanh, Tesla, Descartes, Isaac newton. They wouldn't have been able to change the world in the way they did if they focused on family life.
I'm a stray cat rescuer here in Istanbul. EVERY other rescuer I know is child-free, some not by choice, but still, we are all filled with this love and passion to actually take action and do something for these poor cats, unlike most of society that just shrugs and says 'nature will take care of them'.(No it won't because it wasn't nature who put them there in the first place.)
People out there still believe that a man’s purpose in life is to be a provider and protector. Me personally, I am doing the government and law a good favour by not getting married nor having children. I have more time to focus on my wants, needs, goals and achievements and a spouse/lover and children would get in the way of all that.
Let's be real society does benefit more from CF adults than those who have kids especially in the workforce. Having to leave work at an unexpected notice bc something happened at a child's daycare or school must be tended to, pregnant mothers have to take maternity leave to give birth & go to doctor appointments/check ups. There's a plethora of barriers that parents deal with outside of their work life. CF adults tend to & thrive on their workforce duties & prospects in building their potential. I've taken the high road & have been unapologetically CF working in high school education.
I'd disagree with this. I think being child free is more of one of many factors to a productive worker. You can have parents who work way harder than ones who are child free cause raising a child is hell of a motivation to put your best foot forward.
I don't know about everywhere but around here property taxes go towards funding public schools. Childfree people pay the exact same amount per value than parents do, and we don't have kids attending those schools. Just think how much more underfunded schools would be if us childfree people decided to bring kids into this world.
Yes there's so many people who have made a difference to many who are childfree like Debbie Morgan Shannon Elizabeth Christopher lloyd Alan rickman betty white Bob Barker
Absolutely love your videos my thoughts now are similar to your words. I as a matter of fact will be start full time not just for my job at Amazon but I will also be closer to home. Driving short distances is another way of keeping your carbon footprint small just like choosing to be Childfree. Most people who work full time who have kids unfortunately don’t the time they need to spend time with there kids which is another reason not to have kids these days. Keep up posting more videos CHILDFREE all the way!
Childfree people help set and raise standards because they aren't distracted with the care, time, and attention that needs to be dedicated to children. Childfree people can redirect their time and attention.
*So true, being CF helps us nurture and enrich relationships in our community through mentorship and being a supportive understanding presence. We add diversity 🙂. We enrich the diversity- loved that part.*
Given the environmental devastation we're seeing, it's incredibly foolish, selfish and shortsighted to have children. But most people can't think further than "babies are cute and make me happy."
I am a cf volunteer and volunteer organisations benefit from cf volunteers, we don't take time off to take time off volunteering for school holidays, It is annoying when I can't get volunteers because parents and grandparent are looking after kids and grandkids. I find the cf volunteers more reliable and don't mess you about
The algo recommended this video. It was nice and positive. I'd watched some child free by choice videos on the The Financial Diet. This was positive video, great job. Subscribed, looking forward to more videos.
This would be fine if we didn't have a tax system took takes care of the elderly by taxing those who are working. Without the next generation of labor to support our aging workforce, the system could fall apart.
@@diaryofthechildfree “Child-freedom” is a form of antinatalism. Unless you’re coping for not being able to have a child. The only argument is that it’s to be if it ones self. The arguments remain the same as to why though. Just a side note: nothing wrong with being anti-natalist either. My point is that people don’t like to be mixed in with certain philosophies because they have stigmas to them.
@@Bimbo-Balls Both are respectable choices but how I see the difference is that while both can share similar reasonings, a childfree individual makes a choice for themselves to have children but still believes it’s another’s choice to choose if they want to have children. Whereas antinatalism finds it morally wrong that everyone out there is having children.
@@diaryofthechildfree Correct. One is pro choice but the it’s still the same as to why that choice is being made. Only exception is if you can’t have children due to some sort of medical condition or something like that. Now, you can correlate to being child free as a form of selfish act, which in some way it is, no matter how you look at it. And that’s all good. Nothing wrong with that either. But at the end of the day. The similarities as the reasons for making that choice are pretty much the same to having an anti-natalist philosophy without the part of thinking you’re morally superior(like the antinatalists think they are).
@@Bimbo-Balls choosing to reproduce is also selfish Also, the reason someone is childfree isn't always the same reason a person adopts the antinatalist philosophy. Childfree people tend to not want kids because of how pregnancy would affect their health and/or how much energy it takes to raise kids, biologically related and/or adopted. There is no philosophy behind being childfree, they just do it for selfish (selfish doesn't =bad ) reasons. While antinatalists are against human reproduction, their philosophy isn't against adoption. It's a common misconception that antinatalists are "just like childfree people who both don't want kids." There are many antinatalists who want kids and choose to adopt, and the ones who don't adopt are called childfree antinatalists. The terms "having kids" and "reproducing" shouldn't be used interchangeably. Sorry for the long comment, I just wanted to clear some things up.
