“Don’t have kids unless your bored”
Back in the day when I was a teacher I met this women (also teacher) She was in her late 60s and childless. At the time I was 18 and asked her “Did you ever regret not having kids”(now I know that’s a dickish question to ask 😅🤣😫) and she simply replied with “Absolutely fucking not. Kids are expensive , you’ll never get your time back. The won’t take care of me when I’m old anyways. You should only have kids when you’re bored honey and baby I have never been bored a day in my life.”
That stuck with me.
I am now 30 Childfree teaching others that it’s a choice .None of that “oh well they will heal all the trauma you had” Thats BS and a lot of pressure to put on a child. I know this because I was the end result of that statement. If anything being raised by someone who was severely mentally ill taught me to break a cycle.
STAY STRONG LADYs and GENTS 💛🫶🏻
