“You’ll make up your mind!”
“All women want kids! It’s in our nature.”“You’ll eventually settle down and have kids, you’ve evolved to be this way.”
“Feminism has ruined women, you’ve devalued motherhood and neglected your maternal duties. Raising kids is a beautiful thing, you’ll see.”Just some statements that I’ve seen being said to women who speak about not wanting to have kids.

Realizing that a yearning for parenthood is not a biological imperative allows us to look harder at why we think we want children and ferret out how much of it comes from external conditioning. Seeing the truth about the “biological urge” ultimately helps us make the best parenthood choices for ourselves, our families and our world.
I wouldn’t go to that extreme, but sleep and free time are pretty great! Also, not having to buy into consumerism even more is quite gratifying!
