Nature V Nurture – why you are childfree?

There are many reasons for choosing to be childfree. I have explored many of these in the conversations and interviews I have had with the childfree women in the Childfree Happily Ever After community. Like me you might be childfree because…

Living in a world that expects reproduction

We live in a pronatalist society. That is a fact! Since the dawn of time, the world has been centred around family. In case you were wondering what I mean. A Pronatalist policy is a policy introduced by the government to increase fertility…

I never wanted the word mum on my CV

I was never one of those girls growing up who when asked what they wanted to be when they grew up said, “I want to be a mum”. I remember plenty of girls in high school saying exactly that. I saw that as totally lacking in ambition and simply…

What is The #BirthStrike Movement? And Why Are They Choosing to be Childfree?

I personally chose to be childfree because of my lifestyle preference. I never wanted to have kids or any of that life. But as I continue to live this childfree life every day and as I get to meet more men and women who decided not to have children,…

Why does the media give so much page space to celebs having babies?

The covers of magazines are literally covered with news about celebrities being pregnant. I don’t understand why? When is the media going to stop putting motherhood on a pedestal? Why is this worthy of a cover or front page? So a celebrity…

Hey mums, let your daughters make their own decisions and stop pressuring them for grandkids!

We are lucky enough to live in a world where we have choice. We are the first generation to have a real choice when it comes to our reproductive choices. Yes we can decide that we do not want to have children. Consider your grandmother.…

Interview with Business Chicks CEO Emma Isaacs on having kids & running a global business empire

Did you and your husband discuss having kids before you got married? I wasn’t someone who knew her whole life that she wanted kids. I wasn’t overly maternal. When I met my boyfriend (now husband) of course we talked about it. We joked…

Comments From The Community

I love that! We haven’t decided what we are doing yet but (27 years now) but think this would be a great resource. Thank you!!

Amy

A big thank you so much. It’s really nice to see other women like yourself strive in the childless world and speak out about it. Not enough of us do

Caitlin

Good on you for writing this book. Women are so often viewed purely as baby-making machines and constantly judged on the choices around having them. And their ability to or not. Well done, I can’t wait to read it!

Hannah

Man I wish I’d read your book before becoming a mum. I’m really not suited to the position. I pull it off grandly but omfg I could walk out and never come back half the time. I’m just not very maternal…..I’m not sure how I’m going to survive motherhood. I don’t judge your choices at all

Fan

I love this idea! I don’t have children and yet, for some reason, my life still seems to revolve around children

Karen

What a great book concept! Love it!

Elizabeth

I absolutely LOVE this and would love to join the FB group when it’s created. I’m in the “never wants children” boat, so can certainly relate to that

Sophie

I don’t care how much judgment I get I never ever want children. I’m 27 and cop it from quite a few family members and it’s so annoying they won’t accept my choice. I would love to read this!!

Amelia

Tanya I loved your article ‘The decision to be child free is a choice. I am 61 years old and chose not to have children because when I married my husband I was older (in my late 30’s) and my future husband had two children and a difficult relationship with his ex-wife. I also work in education – many women in education ask me how I can possibly know how to teach children if I am not a mother. But thank you for the article – it is an important subject – those who choose not to have children and those who take on other people’s children instead of having their own.
