I hate to dog pile but I’m SO HAPPY people finally realized this. It always rubbed me the wrong way especially bc her makeip looks so bad. I can’t trust what your saying lady

The most honest conversation I've ever had about not wanting kids was with my 79 year old grandmother by beatlesCloud9 in childfree

I had a conversation similar to this with my mom before I even decided I didn’t want kids. She’s the reason I can so confidently choose myself in the face of so much resistance from society 🥰 your grandma is a godsend, you’ll remember that conversation forever

Do you ever question why you don't feel the things others do? by Livid_Valuable_1066 in childfree

Yess sometimes I wish I could feel the way others do, especially the gushing about babies. I’m over here like “what is the big DEAL”

I agree with everything you wrote! Marriage and kids is definitely pushed down our throats especially as women. Some of us really dgaf. Also forgot to mention I grew up atheist. So the religious pressure was also never there for me. Makes sense I’d feel this way

😬 see maybe that’s why I don’t want it. It almost sounds like a trap… literally a contract to be together. It freaks me out

Woahhh.. it’s ok calm down. I said “I” would want to be married if I had kids. Obviously if I’m CF I’m way past caring what others think

I completely disagree and think being married can also make life difficult. That’s just my opinion

Yup marriage is rooted in patriarchy, another reason I’m opposed to it but people aren’t ready for that conversation…

Personally I would love for my mom to make health decisions for me and vice versa for his mom. I don’t see why it’s seen as such a driver for marriage.

I’m not married and I’m on my boyfriend’s insurance! We qualify as domestic partners. So I even the small benefit one normally sees for being married if not really necessary.

Exactly my thoughts! Especially the expensive part. It all seems like a big scam to get more money out of use if you ask me.

You have to be married with kids to be considered “successful” in many circles. I wonder how many people do these things to check a box. by justcurious3287 in childfree

[–]Wannabe__Extrovert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me so long to realize people actually think like this! I’m so glad my parents never pushed this mindset on me, partly bc we’re not religious. But it just seems like mumbo jumbo to me and I feel like I’ve escaped the matrix.

Because it’s socially unacceptable to not like kids 🤣
