'I felt relief. I'd never have to figure out how to put my career on hold, I'd never have to figure out the logistics of childcare with a career. I'd have money to buy a house someday. I'd be able to retire someday. ...'
community, I was curious to find out why people decided to remain child-free. Here are some of the responses that were especially eye-opening:"My mother's mental illness left the lion's share of supervision and housekeeping to me at the expense of my own education . The despair of those years turned me off from ever being responsible for a child again. I love my siblings with all my heart, but they nearly broke me.
I feel like I've 'done my time' taking care of other people. I just see the burden of all of it, plus there's no way I could afford it either. The money I have left over goes to taking care of my mother's needs, so there wouldn't be any left for a child.""I’ve seen plenty of otherwise fine and even happy marriages go downhill because all substantial childcare was ceded to the mother once the baby arrived.
