A Michigan State University study finds 1 in 5 adults consciously choose not to have children, with no significant life regret reported among older child-free individuals compared to parents. This research challenges traditional perceptions of childlessness.
Shit, I’ve been really considering it myself and I was made to think it was weird or somehow inappropriate to get it done in my 30s. I don’t want kids. Period.
Who made you think it’s weird? I did it at 38 and all I got from doctors was “how many kids do you have? None? I have 2 and your making the right choice”. Seriously. Also, why would you care what anyone thinks? Also, no one will know. You don’t have to tell anyone.
I got mine done when I was 32. Didn’t get asked anything but “are you sure you don’t want kids”.
Protip: make sure the doctor doesn’t start if you’re not numb. It’s really not fun without anesthesia.
I got mine done late 20’s. They asked how many kids I had, I said zero, they said although sometimes it can be reversed, it should be treated as permanent. I said if I decided i wanted kids later there were plenty of premade kids looking for a home, and off to snippy town we went.
