![]() It perhaps takes the eyes of a childfree person to see how child-centric our culture truly is. They range from people who genuinely enjoy being around children-and just don't want any of their own-to those who find kids annoying and stress-inducing and don't wish to be around them at all. ![]() It's really more of a collection of stories form others who have chosen to be child free, presented in a way that lets you know that you're not alone in your decision and that others have "been there".Ĭhildfree people are those who choose not to have children. I think this book is very fair and it's not anti-parenthood in any way. Yet, no one ever asks "WHY?!" when someone announces that they want to have children - largely because it's a decision that many people make without ever giving it any real thought. Because, as many of you know, the instant you identify yourself as child free, you will immediately be asked "WHY?!" and you will be expected to defend your position almost as though you've committed a criminal act. One of the things I liked most about this book is the way it underscores the fact that people who have chosen to be child free do so after giving the whole notion a great deal of thoughtful consideration. I even think many parents could benefit from reading this, as it highlights many of the stereotypes, misconceptions and prejudices against child free people. This is a great resource for anyone who has chosen to be child free (you're not alone!), as well as those who may be on the fence about whether they want to have children or not. ![]()
