Yes to all of this! 👏 In a recent HuffPost article, guest writer Kerry Graham wrote about what it's like to not want kids: "It’s been happening since my mid-20s: right around the second Sunday in May, I receive greetings from passersby in the street. 'Happy Mother’s Day,' they say, almost reverently, as we walk past one another. At first, this startled me. I would feel tempted to stop this stranger and explain what he could not possibly know: I am no one’s mother. It felt blasphemous to receive well wishes for a holiday I hadn’t earned. However, over the last decade, I’ve learned to simply appreciate these moments of kindness. I smile, say thank you, and keep walking ― even though I do not want kids. This is a personal truth that I’ve gradually begun sharing with people. When someone asks if I have kids, I now say more than no; I add that I don’t want any. Sometimes, I bring it up myself in conversations about goals or potential plans. I’ve become assertive in stating my choice, no longer saying, 'Maybe one day...' Perhaps most importantly, I’m also learning that I do not need to justify my decision; after all, how often is a mother asked to explain her reasons for having kids?" // Read more at the link in bio. // 📸: Getty Images

mararosie @karimbelle one. Not your business. 2. Listen to people with uteruses. I have spoken with so so many who have tried to get their tubes tied and doctors have denied them (even those who have already had children and don’t want any more), why? Because they may want children. I was lucky to find a doctor who said yes right away, but I have yet to talk to another person who had that success (I’m sure others have, but it’s a sensitive subject for some because it’s no one’s business). But my doctor was required to give me a lecture on how I might change my mind and to consider other options. She didn’t believe in the talk, but she still had to give it. Our culture about having kids is weird. Yes our bodies can create fetuses, but doesn’t we have to or want to. I’m no ones incubator. It would be great if we had less pressure to reproduce and more support to make our own decisions and trusting we know ourselves best. I’m 100% supportive of abortions no matter the reason, but the number of abortions would drop dramatically if people stopped shaming/controlling/peer pressuring people with uteruses to do it a certain way. 3. If only more men were willing to go through a vasectomy.

franslusarz At age 9, my daughter declared that she didn't want children. She has not waivered and she's well into her 20s. It's her life and her body. I told her it is great to know yourself but don't be stubborn if your mind starts to change (also, don't bother telling X unless you want to be patronized for the next 30 years). Stubborn is kind of a default setting in my family. Once, I insisted she have some payback grandkids for me. She and her sibs, after all, are payback for the hell I put my parents through. Without missing a beat, she replied, "I'll consider raising a feral band of warrior children after the apocalypse, but that's about it." You just gotta trust that a women knows what she wants. Or survive the apocalypse.

mararosie @eva_in_rome yep we’ve all heard that speech before. That we don’t know that kind of love. We’ll happily survive with our decision to not “test sample” being a parent. I’ve met plenty of parents brave enough to admit that though they love their kids, they never wanted to be parents, but peer pressure. Doesn’t make them bad parents. But yea I’ll listen to myself and my instincts and keep being a dog mom and keep living my life child free. Good for those who get to choose. I send all the support for those who didn’t feel like they could, and yes to those who know it’s not for them and for those that respect that instead of telling us we don’t know any better. ?

scooterlindy @bucster50 Dear lord you're a dumb one, aren't you? This has nothing to do with politics, you're attempting to make it that way. Also, just to help you out, the word you were looking for is "breed". Bread is what you use to make a sandwich, breed is making kids. While we all got a good laugh out of you attempting to insert yourself into this adult conversation, we can see that you're not quite ready for it. Run along, now. I'm sure there are crayons and safety scissors waiting for you at the kids table.

kulturnoerden I've known since I was a teen that I didn't want kids, and I've always been honest about it. I've had people look at me in chok or like I was from outerspace. Some have just accepted the frase: no, and I don't want to, others haven't believed me or thought I would change my mind, and the rest just needed an explanation, which I happily give, because although I might be uncertain about many things, this one I know for sure.

mararosie @bucster50 ... what conspiracy juice are you drinking? I just don’t want kids... Huh had no idea my intentions on what I did with my life and my body had so great an impact on you and the rest of the country. Thanks for giving me all that power! “A single human doesn’t want kids. Now she’s destroyed all the millions of families out there, and there are no more families being created.” ... You must be fun at parties
