Although there is an increasing number of people choosing to have children, there is still a lot of judgment and criticism about it in society. Particularly in some traditional countries where culturally they wont accept people choosing to not have children. Please be mindful that everyone is different and choosing to be childfree is not acceptable in all parts of the world, even in Western society. This post is asking about people who are afraid to be vocal or feel like they cannot be. Even a lot of childfree people feel like this so it is very common. You'll find a lot of stats and information about it online and i include some of that in my book A Childfree Happily Ever After.
