How interesting that people’s assumptions are that it’s your fault Tracey and you took that away from your husband, like if you are 100% solely responsible for that choice. It’s almost like demonising you yet victimising your husband.
I am so over people & their narrow minded judgement of woman. For far too long woman, have sacrificed their career & their happiness for their husbands & children. Their is so much judgement for woman who choose to stay home & raise their children from working mums & vice versa. Live & let live. We are all different. Just because we do not agree with others, certainly is not the reason for negative judgement from others. Thanks for your honest, authentic truth xx
From my experience childfree people are some of the least selfish ones as they devote their time and energy to make a difference in the world by running businesses, volunteering, activism and raising rescue animals (things that me and childfree partner want to do) and make an impact on a bigger level rather than just focusing on their families and revolving their world around their own kids (who DO come first by default), which to me sounds more selfish !
I didn’t have children because of health reasons, yet I have had judgement. I guess people like to judge others without giving a second thought to why people are the situations they are in. Interesting talk ladies :)
Alan and I chose never to have children and we never had regrets….even now he has passed away I still am happy we never had children. We had a great 40 years together….anyway he was my biggest baby…I miss him terribly….
thank you Tracey for your amazing insights and story and for everyone for watching and contributing to the conversation below. It is an important conversation – in the meantime, Neve Let Anyone Dull Your Sparkle!! xoxo
Thank you for sharing. Having had my children 13 years after getting married, I can relate to the judgement women are subjected to. You’re the least selfish woman I know Tracey Mathers and so many more people are blessed with your generosity of time, love and caring than you possibly could have given if you did have your own children. xoxo
Thank you that’s very kind xx

Having one and only at 40. I got that “selfish judgement” from people that did not know my journey. Love you TM

I agree Anna xxx
So true Tracey. Some are quick to judge with no factual basis.
Alan and I chose never to have children and we never had regrets….even now he has passed away I still am happy we never had children. We had a great 40 years together….anyway he was my biggest baby…I miss him terribly….
Fabulous

You are so welcome thanks got the invitation xxxx
Looking gorgeous Girls
I often wish I could have had that. In fact I wish I could have a wife free one too.
Yayyy!
How can it be selfish to recognise that your life is so busy and so full you that you wouldn’t be able to fit in a baby???
Looking forward to watching this Tracey. xxx
I don’t for one moment think its selfish Tracey. I too am sick of people making the assumption that cos you’re a female, you Should have children.
