My reason #4 to be Child-free
TLDR-
Reason #4 - Everyone has dreams and bucket-list items that they hope to achieve within their lifetime. I do too. However, I want to pursue them myself, instead of giving birth to kid(s) and guilt-tripping/forcing them to fulfill them.
In detail -
I struggle with articulation - have a lot of thoughts in my head but by the time they leave my mouth it's an incoherent mess. One of my goals this year, is to write more frequently about how I feel. I had written earlier about my three reasons for being child-free. [You can read it here]
Anyways, I had the above eureka moment while having a pretend conversation trying to explain my choice to my friends. For a second, I couldn't believe I articulated it so clearly, so had to make this post immediately. So here it is. Just wanted to share here, in case anyone else feels the same but weren't able to articulate it.
