To all the people who are childless by choice -
I am with you.
For years I have navigated judgement from others that I am not a mother😐
Please don't push your child agenda on others. Not everyone wants to be a parent.
And no, this choice does not make us automatically selfish.

The question shouldn't be "Why aren't more people having kids?", it should be "Why are so many people having kids?". The world has descended into a permacrisis shitshow in which people can barely keep your own heads above water, let alone their kids', as well.

Finished this #book today, THE BLUE JAY'S DANCE by Louise Erdrich. And though I'm #childlessbychoice I still found her observations on the first year of her baby's life incredibly moving. Also made me miss my mom :-) Highly recommended #memoir.

Nah, I'd still be #childlessbychoice >> Once it's well-developed and available, it might start looking like a pretty attractive option for folk that like the idea of a baby but can't see why they should have to go through the ordeals of pregnancy and childbirth to get one https://newatlas.com/medical/ectolife-artifical-womb-facility/
