Here Are My Softer Reasons For Being Childfree
Social media gives us “harsh” repetitive reasons for not having kids, let me give a fresher, benign perspective
from the womb they come
heavy blessings from above —
teary nights and stubbed toes
Many are offering very hard opinions as to why they do not want children. I want to offer my “soft” opinion on the matter with(hopefully) zero offenses occurring.
I’m a bit lazy…
First of all, my laziness is astounding. I tip my hat off to people who can get up at the crack of dawn because baby says so. I heard that even my own mom was too tired sometimes to get me when I would cry, and my dad would be the one to coddle me.
I like sleeping in on weekends and not having to fix breakfast immediately. I like not having to plan outings for afterschool and weekends and then Summers. I am way too relaxed for that. I certainly DO plan, but having children requires planning an awful lot.
having children is just not conducive to my financial planning
