This right here! 

It’s always been an issue for me. We are childless but if asked and we use that term people start pitying us. “You’re never too old! Just pray more! Why don’t you use a surrogate?” If we use the term child-free we’re treated as baby-hating monsters. We’re pretty much screwed no matter which choice we make.

That’s so annoying. I have 2 kids who are teens and have loved having kids most of their existence. I love babies, toddlers are amusing and even teens and their craziness make me laugh. 

Despite that, I have never understood why people feel like EVERYONE should have/want kids. It’s a personal choice and no one’s business. 

I appreciate people who understand themselves enough to know they don’t want or shouldn’t have kids. How many kids are born into lives where they aren’t wanted?  Way too many for sure and it’s heartbreaking.
