I prefer to say child free, not childless.

Because she f****n' wants to be. That reason is enough.

I am still amazed at how many people think a woman has to have a child. It is bizarre. People are so rude to even ask a woman why they do not have children.

Valid reasons for a man to be childless? Be a man. In fact, for a man you call it child free since he is not less of a man without having children! That double standard makes me angry 😤 I am a mom and my sister is not. I have heard that being questioned, but indeed it's no ones business. She never questioned anyone for having children. Where's the respect and common decency?

So, I’m 2009 I got pregnant, after I was told by a specialist I couldn’t. We were excited, but then learned a medication I’m on for a disease called Interstitial Cystitis would cause SEVERE birth defects, & most likely wouldn’t survive to birth. As well as my life would be put at risk. After suffering for so long with severe chronic pain, I couldn’t bring the child to suffer worse than myself. So we decided to abort. Broke our hearts, & even though I know I made the right decision for the child & ourselves, it broke me mentally. Fast forward 10 yrs later, Christmas at my folks, my Oma tells me I’ll regret not having children when I’m older. I just got up and left & cried in my car.

Yeah! That's a HUGE personal decision and it's PERSONAL!

Damn I wish I could upvotes this more.

I'm quite sure many people think the opposite, & will gladly give you an earful, unsolicited OF COURSE!

Doesn't need to be one... ever!!!

Some woman can’t adopt or have healthy babies. And some can’t get pregnant at all.

them nails tho-

That is 100% correct!

I don't want to have childern ether.

Where do I get the candle?

This is my life^

Is there an *invalid* reason for a person to be childless? My reason is my reason. Period. I don’t need someone to validate it.

Hmmmm I had several children and was still able to do that. No need to sell being childless.As you said it's no one's business how you do your life,you're the one living in it.

One of the things I miss most from my "single" days is the ability to put stuff on the coffee table and be assured that I'll find them at the same place a couple of hours later. Not to mention, having to worry that someone might choke on them or break them and step onto the shards... It's a small pleasure that kids ruin for you :'(

BEST reason

This is a simple individual choice to give reasons when no one asked for any. If you really believe it is no one's business: Why publish the reasons for everyone to see and read? Now we know what is none of our business. You are not to be trusted with classified information.

Damn straight.

Still the fact is that nature pulls tricks on us all if we do have sex. Any protection is still a 99,9% protection. So stop trying to decide what life brings in front of you or go celibate if this is your choice. I think things like who will have children are things we will see at some point. I was never going to have children in my earliest pictures of how things could happen, and I'm still totally happy and proud in the role life gave me, totally would not change a thing! Son grew up and is moving out too soon. i'm 37 and can still do whatever I want, was a piece of cake, son grew up smart and happy.
