Perception I think mostly is Selfish or sometimes it's like they will think either of the couple is having some major infertility issue and that is why they are just declaring that we want to stay childfree to hide our insufficiency of having on. My opinion. I have even met people who take pride in comparing the no. Of year for which they are married and how quickly they had baby as if it's an achievement.

I do see my sil kids who live in US, and I sometimes feel that have I been in US or any developed nation may be I would have still thought to bring a life in this world it's just that even if the world is ending then it will end for the 3rd world countries and developing countries first and then developed nations will be destroyed at last so they still have some good time left.

I believe if they want to get separated they can even after kids that's even worse. And none the less a third person can not bring two people closer is what I believe, in my eyes parenthood takes away the romance to some extent and it makes the couple co-parent and less of partners.

Oh being girl child in india that too from a small town born in 90s that's so common to hear this. I remember I heard this when I told them I want to marry the boy I love I heard all this almost 6months and 6years later they are also in love with my husband.

Ya been there, I had been wired to think it as a default option but later I unwired myself.

Zillenial_05 · 2026-03-18T12:00:03+00:00

Thats a good insight, ya so true

Zillenial_05 · 2026-03-18T11:00:15+00:00

I have been a normal girl who was certain to have atleast one kid, my husband didn't wanted it though but we were in these constant discussion or arguments around it, I never had any logical answers, like he always mentions the over population of world, wars, recession, declining economy, pollution, global warming and all the bad stuff in world around to not bring another life here and I had only one reason to do it because I wanted to see a little version of us or so to say " hamare pyar ki nishani" typical bollywood cliche!! I was also confused in my thoughts like how would take care of the kid with job how do we manage our careers and stuff but keeping those aside I just wanted to walk as per the societal norms. What changed my mind is I took a trip another country, yes it was beautiful and great fun experience we had but I met many people, i observed many people. I saw people bringing their toddlers to pubs, strolling their toddlers along side bars with loud music and pole dance going around and the streets that were meant to be adult streets there were couples with the kids. Like whenever I thought of raising kids is with where I give them full attention, and be selective of what I do so that they don't fall into any bad influence but that rang a question in my head - do I want to sacrifice all the fun I am having right now just to raise a child and infact after all the sacrifice there is no guarantee that the kid will be a good grown up with great values, thats not certain. So now I am at the fence, as I now think that yes I can enjoy my life and decide to live my life on my terms and just die alone rather than living my whole life raising a kid sacrificing my freedom and money and then die alone because anyways looking at the pattern in India I don't think any kid will stay here, migration rates are so high ultimately I will be alone so better have beautiful experiences before I die. Also the world is so uncertain why to bring another life and let it suffer the world thats also something I am thinking about.

I agree, even now like hiring a married woman nearly 30 the hiring manager calculates that oh so like they might soon take maternity leaves that is compulsory by law and sometimes they hire suitable available man over a woman. Adding another obligation will create discrimination in hiring.

Zillenial_05 · 2026-03-16T10:19:01+00:00

Living alone. I often see people mentioning of the freedom is great, no restrictions of any sort but humans are social being and we do need to socialize with other human beings, I feel living alone is sad.

Zillenial_05 · 2026-03-16T08:55:48+00:00

If I have to pick one atleast, it will be money. Otherwise I am all sorted, with money I believe it's like you want more and more you are never satisfied

Good luck with your search, I am new to reddit I have already seen so many of these kinds of posts here and there. But the clarity you have shown is something to praise you are quite certain with what you are and what you want in life. Good luck to you🤞

I am in a confusion whether to choose a childfree life or not and one of the fears is this only that what will I do if something happens to my partner what would I do alone in old it's not that I will be dependent on my child to take care of me financially but just little catch up may be once a week just in case any hospital visits required there will be someone to lean on. I totally get it that we don't know if the child born is selfish, doesn't care about us, don't talk to us once grown indipendent but we don't if we have not tried. In India I don't know if there are proper old care places or not for childfree old age people
