We are taught that it’s important to be respectful, yet the practice of questioning a couple’s decision to not have a family is still openly frowned upon. A woman who doesn’t want children is still considered abnormal, a childless man is thought to be selfish and immature.

It is not the business of anyone but the couple (and potentially their doctors) whether they should decide to have children. That means it’s none of your business, so think before you utter any of these condescending phrases to a childless/childfree person.

I’d love to silently add “Oh, you should look after our kids more. It’ll be great practice for later, NUDGE NUDGE WINK WINK!” to the list of unwanted commentary. My brother-in-law has mastered that one.

While I am still undecided about having children one day, I fully support the message of this poster.

Accept people’s choices! Don’t try to tell them that their choices are wrong. Take them seriously. Not everyone wants to start a family and it is okay! It is up to each of us to find what makes us happy in the end. You like kids? You wanna have them? Great! But don’t act like you can only achieve true happiness through having children one day.

Here, Linds and Hayden.  Here you go.  Go make some poster-sized bannerflags.

Thank you.

I don’t want kids, in fact I hate kids. I can’t deal with them more than half an hour, I don’t have the patience.

I got scolded by one of my teachers in the all-girs-school because she asked me if I wanted kids, and obviously like a 15 year old I was, I told her I didn’t want any. She started shouting at me that that is what God wanted and that I was a disgrace for women.

Today, I’m 21 and I still don’t want children and I don’t think is anything bad. Hey, I’m not saying that if I find the right guy I won’t change my mind, but now as the way I’m now. No thank you. And I don’t think I’m less woman, less feminine or that I lack of mother instinct.

When my sis show me her boyfriend nephews photos or when my friend tell me about her new born baby I don’t shove them away from me just because I don’t want kids. I do enjoy them, kids are cute. But having them on my own, is not my cup of tea. The persons I know that know this side of me, they accept me as I accept they want kids.

I make no sense, sorry.

^That, 100%

I enjoy the children in my family; they’re cute, I love them and I care for them dearly. But I do not want them, neither see children in my future. Not right now and possibly never. I’m not closing doors or neglecting options -like someone told me-, I just acknowledge them without the need of acting and decide my future NOW based on needs that one day I may or may not have.

Éternel combat avec mon entourage et une de mes pire crainte pour mon futur…
