If you don't want kids are you judged?

Question

Answer

Yes. I say I don't when in truth I am undecided leaning toward not having children.

I get told I am selfish, not a woman, I get asked what is wrong with me, etc. Truth be told, my health physical and mental are more important then having a child and if I can't be the best mother I can be, I don't want to be one.

And in the end it is my choice and no one else's' business why I chose to or not to have kids.

Answer

I have a child. I will say that I am so grateful for people who are honest and don't have children just to have them. I praise people when they say "kids aren't for me". It takes alot of exploration to know that. It may not be clear but people who don't have kids are also helping society in their own way

Answer

My aunt hates kids, like is disgusted by them 😂 when I was pregnant she said "dear God you look terrible, look what it's already doing to you."

It was so funny because she thinks even after the child is born that it's a parasite.

There are just some people that don't want children and that's 100% okay! It doesn't make you any less of a woman, wife, or human being.

Sincerely,
A mom

Answer

I've been trying to have kids for the past 3 years and gone through all the treatments iui ivf all failed it just seems easier to tell people that we r not having children or I don't want any instead of giving them the whole infertility story most just don't get it.  I'd really love to give up an move on w my life. I really don't care what people think any more.

Answer

A thousand times yes, I'm judged. I've thought about adoption. But I really don't have that "baby crazy" thing in me. I definitely don't want to give birth to children. And most of my friends are really surprised.

Answer

Quite a few of my friends don't want or can't have kids. I have one and one on the Way. But it pisses me off when people tell them what to do with their bodies! Not everyone has that kind of life or they don't want it. If you want kids, have them! If not, party on.  "I'm not gonna buy a boat because it's the normal thing to do. For one I can't afford a boat and for two what the fuck would I do with one?"-my best friends words lol

Answer

I have a daughter and one on the way but I do feel like I am abit judgemental when people say they don't want kids. Don't get me wrong I don't say anything to them but in my head I'm thinking why?? But that's probably because I am a very maternal person and can't imagine myself without children. I have nothing against people not wanting children I just myself find it hard to understand. BTW I'm not being negative I'm just giving my opinion 😊

Answer

If you don't want childre, you're judged. If you can't have children, you're judged. If you want children you're judged. If you have children, you're judged. Point being, someone somewhere is always going to judge you no matter what you do or don't do. It's easier to just do what you want. If you feel good about whatever choice you're making, that's all that matters :)

Answer

Up until relatively recently I didn't want children.  I was definitely judged by those I told - people had no problem telling me to my face that I was unnatural,  not a real woman, I must be cold hearted and that there was something wrong with me. A female boss (who also said many of the above) went as far as to say she didn't trust women who chose not to have children and made my life at work quite miserable after she heard that I didn't plan to have kids.

I don't know why they do it, but people definitely judge.

Answer

we live in a judgemental self centered society period.
