Which of these words is used to describe the voluntary choice not to have children?

I'm a child free person and boy am I glad I am!! no sleepless nights and no teenage problems either!!

Jo Aldridge, I don't think you're crazy. My daughter doesn't want children either. I respect her decision, as I respect yours. Society puts too much emphasis on "finding a partner" and "continuing the family line." Live your life, as YOU see fit, and if people harass you about having a child, tell THEM to go adopt!

Also, as an only child I did not have a charmed life. I am pleased to not have children. Others should not judge me.

Some have also taken into consideration environmental global warming and the carbon footprint of children

I have four children and I love them to pieces and cannot imagine my life without them. But I don't understand why some people cannot accept, and criticize, others' choice to not have kids. It's their life, and they know what's best for them. Just mind your own business

I'm a 56 year old woman and I've chosen not to have children. many people have judged me for this. when I was 30 I asked the doctor to tie my tubes. and she said what if a guy comes along and he wants kids? my response was that he's not the perfect guy. I think women need to think about this and what that's going to mean to their lives before they have children

I couldn't imagine my life without my chidren, the joy and love they've brought to our lives is immeasurable. Also, I'm glad my parents weren't childless.

I am childfree by choice. I was not I'm a good marriage during my younger years.

Some who are most critical those who choose not to have children are the ones who vote for cutting funding for daycare, child nutrition, etc. For some of them, it's not too few children, but too few children of their group that worries them. Not bringing children into a world with an increasingly deteriorating climate, political unrest, etc. is far from an irrational choice. Between automation and AI, what are future generations even going to do to earn a living? The tech lords and other oligarchs sure aren't going to pay taxes to support them.

I want to have children someday!! i want to have 5 boys and 3 girls!! 8 kids!! i think it would be nice!! or just any amount of kids is fine to me!! just want to have a kid!! or kids!! either way fine to me!! fine to me!

They're D.I.N.K.S dual income no kids!!! that is what D.I.N.K stands for!!

That pic is fantastic as it really portrays the feeling :D

watch the movie "Idiocracy", then decide to be egoistic or not

Some friends of mine would have said Anarchy.

I think it’s a great personal choice to make in these last days. ( child free ) ! ! !
