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.
You don’t think the popular culture is telling woman that having kids is the most amazing thing and if they don’t have them there’s something wrong with them? That a very common trope. Couples separating because one doesn’t want children, women obsessing about having children, getting depressed when they can’t. Silo and Good doctor are examples I’ve seen very recently. And what about ‘child-free’ couples in TV shows? Can you think about any? 20% of adults don’t want kids yes in TV that’s still pretty much non-existent.
