14 Factors Contributing to the Increasing Popularity of Child-Free Lifestyle

Choosing to have kids is personal, not mandatory. Not all are fit for parenthood, and opting out is equally valid. Here are top reasons given by those who don't want kids.

IT IS A HUGE RESPONSIBILITY

“It’s a huge responsibility. I’m not ready to be responsible for anyone else.”

I COULD NEVER RELAX AGAIN

“I don’t want to worry about a kid for the rest of my life. I could never truly relax again. I just don’t feel like being a parent and watching over a child.”

NOT INTERESTED IN STRESS

"Not interested in the stress of child care at the moment. If I have kids, I'll care for them, but don't envision dealing with babies after long days now."

I DON’T THINK I WOULD BE A GOOD MOTHER

"I raised my seven siblings growing up and don't feel I'd be a good mother. I also don't want to bring children into this world."

I NEVER WANTED IT

“Just not something I have ever wanted. Believe it or not, there are just some people out there who don’t have a parental instinct.”

I LIKE PEACE, QUIETNESS, AND CLEANLINESS

“Because I like peace, quiet, cleanliness, free time, and last but not least. Money.”

I DON’T WANT TO GIVE UP ON MY HOBBIES

"Why no kids? No partner, insufficient income, political environment, personal choice, love for hobbies & free time, and world's population crisis."

I HAVE NO MATERNAL INSTINCT

"I have no maternal instincts. Kids don't appeal to me and I won't subject a child to my anger issues. I need to break the cycle my dad started."

KIDS ARE ANNOYING

“Kids are annoying. I don’t have the patience. I also have lots of issues. I would probably snap and treat them badly in some way, unfortunately. I’m better off without kids.”

I DON’T WANT TO PASS ON MY TERRIBLE GENETICS

“I don’t want to pass on my terrible genetics and generational trauma to anyone else.”

THEY ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE

“They’re really expensive and needy, and I don’t understand their math homework. I’m not really sure how to break the news to them, though.”

I AM TOO SELFISH

"I'm selfish. I want freedom without worrying how it'll affect a kid, like spending the whole day on the beach."

I STRUGGLE WITH ANXIETY

"I struggle with anxiety, especially during high stress and lack of sleep. It was tough adjusting to my puppy; I can't imagine parenting someone dependent on me for years."

I AM BROKE

“I’m broke. Also, working all the time and leaving a baby alone at home is a major NO.”

NOT A KIDS PERSON

"I'm not a fan of living with others, especially difficult ones. I value my stability, balance, and free time. I've always disliked kids."[Keep HTML link]
