Description
Family & Relationships. Women's Studies. Nonfiction. Childfree and Loving It! is a broad and definitive exploration of non-parenthood, challenging the myths of parenthood and boldly proclaiming the joys of a childfree life. ‘The responsibility of parenthood is overwhelming and incredibly stressful. And it’s for life. Don’t give up a pleasant life for a life of unpaid drudgery. Your standard of living drastically declines, and the kids take off as soon as they can, without a backward show more glance.’ Shirley Conran. show lessTags

Good thing I gave myself a few weeks between reading this book and a gathering later this month I have with the new mothers in my life. Refreshingly, this book does not attack with fire breathing bitterness. It just asks politely to make a mindful decision before becoming a parent. Then, plainly offers some reasons to consider becoming child-free and publishes admissions from people around the world on the subject.
anecdotal comments but useful information about reasons people have ro dont have children.
