'Who’s going to look after you when you’re old?!'
I don’t want children. I cannot think of a time in my 26 years when I’ve ever longed to be a mother. I have zero maternal desires and I’m absolutely OK with that.
However, some people aren’t. Despite the fact that more women than ever are choosing to remain child-free, we are still sold the standard progression of marriage, kids, happy ending. Should a woman stray from that, she is often met with disapproval and suspicion. From abortion to breastfeeding, it’s open season where women’s reproductive choices are concerned and being questioned on those very personal choices gets really boring really quickly.1. You’ll change your mind.
OK, cool, just let me know when you change your mind about those kids of yours and put them up for adoption...Nope. Just as you might have discussed having kids with your partner, I have discussed not having them with mine.That’s fine for you. But I don’t define my womanhood by whether or not I become a mother.

Who’s going to look after you when you’re old?! Firstly, if you’re having children purely so they can look after you when beige slacks become a viable style choice, then perhaps you should have a rethink. Secondly, I plan to be terribly, terribly wealthy when I’m an old woman, and I’ll spend the £230k I save PER CHILD on hiring a non-threateningly attractive young man to attend to my every need.I am a sentient being with more to offer the world than my uterus.
