RE: Some Thoughts on Why I Never Wanted Children
This gets my full upvote, because this post speaks for me and my SO. We love our nieces and nephews, and each other's nieces and nephews. Not wanting kids is just that: not wanting kids.
Fortunately, no one in our lives has been trying to pressure us for years now. They've all given up. The SO wrote a blog post in Hebrew, years ago, that went a little viral, and we've done multiple TV interviews about it way back when - when it was more of an anomaly than it is now.
Thanks @didic
Super cool about the blog and interviews! I do think its slowly becoming generally acceptable. Slowly. We redefine "family" every day as we evolve and diversify but yet somehow this one still has stigma. What gets my hot is the assumptions people make on why that decision is made.
From my perspective, at least here, there's a lot less stigma than there used to be. Still way too much, of course. And, yeah, assumptions like those you talk about are crap.
Yeah, definitely less than there used to be.
