Having raised several (awesome) kids, I can say that I totally understand not wanting to.

It’s a TON of work, financial drain, emotional drain, relationship strain, etc, for a couple decades.

I’m glad I have a bunch of cool kids (adults) to hang out with. But I’m also a little sad I didn’t get to travel more, or experience more museums/shows/beaches/etc.

It’s a trade-off. I don’t regret my choice, and I understand the child free appeal, but it’s nobody’s fucking business either way.

Absolutely! My eldest is 5, and that’s when she really decided she didn’t want kids lol she saw how hard of a job it is, even though it is rewarding.

While I would love my kids to have cousins I would never, ever ask her if she now wants kids and I absolutely understand why she doesn’t want children.

Isn't five a little young to be making a decision of that magnitude.
