Essay On Why I DonT Have Children

Growing up having kids is something that you simply assume would happen. It was never even a question you always knew that one day you would be a parent and that having kids seemed like a natural step in becoming an adult. Your thoughts are to meet someone,  get married, and eventually have children.Sometimes life doesn't work out that way. Many women have trouble conceiving depending on age and how the body reacts to developing a child. Some people don’t have to try to get pregnant but others aren’t so lucky they have to continue to try until your results come out positive, so to speak. But trying to conceive and failing after many attempts can be overwhelming and frustrating always trying to stay positive that this time will work. It’s important to start the process of finding out  what test’s you have to take to know if you're able to have children; and what are options for infertility.

152) required their reproduction and choosing to be childless was “non-normative” (p. 152). One participant believed that choosing to remain childless would be more readily accepted by those that did not intimately know him and viewed more negatively by those closest to him (p. 151). I feel this is a very apt assessment of society’s views on childlessness; it is easy to justify the projection of one’s personal beliefs onto someone that we closely know as opposed to a stranger. However, I also believe it depends on the projecting person’s ideas about social norms. I know several single and married couples that have decided to either delay childbearing or refrain altogether and I find no fault in their decision. I do not necessarily believe that it is imperative a person and/or couple have children. Nevertheless, I believe the subject belongs in the “Spouses-Only Area” (Hammond, Cheney, & Pearsey, 2015), and is not one I should pass judgment on. People should be allowed to make a decision that best suits them and not judged or pressured to fit some preconceived mold or

Have you ever wanted a child? For those that are not dealing with pregnancy, this is a very simple question, that can be answered with only a, “Yeah, having one wold be neat in the future,” or, “No thanks, I don’t really like kids,” But what about those that are pregnant? Having this question of whether or not someone truly wants a child or not can be very complicated for those that maybe aren’t financially stable, have been sexually assaulted and the child is a result of that, or maybe, its just that the person isn’t ready. For those that are not equipped for such a task of responsibility, what would they do? There are several possible options that could be done for those that do not want to have children, or for those that are pregnant but

Rollin credits that even though motherhood isn’t all that it’s cracked up to, women continue to believe in the myth because they were taught to do it all their life. From being giving dolls when they were little girls, to a women pushing her daughter for grandchildren, and even pressures from friends. She cites a study that shows a correlation between a women’s fertility, to her three closest friends. (Rollin 293)

Women choose to abort for several different reasons that they find as an excuse. Some women choose abortion because they don’t feel as if they are “ready” to take on the job of a mother. Truthfully, this is incorrect because a woman has to learn the challenges of a mother while raising a child. There are many

THE NO-BABY BOOM, by Anne Kingston, published in March 2014 was about the social infertility rates of twenty-first century women. Kingston uses credible evidence that shows that she wants to promote awareness and change the perception of how society views the topic of infertility. The way Kingston presents the information to the reader is by providing statistics, personal stories, and her personal opinion on the idea of the “childless” mother. Readers this is most likely to appeal to is people who are struggling with infertility. The concern and values throughout this article is the infertility rate of women and the way it affects their life styles. The reason that Kingston published this article is to let people become more aware of the

Within the article the author Kelly Welch has explained why she believes that being child free can be a choice and being happy without one can be possible. Within the article “Childfree by Choice” the author says “Some people feel their lives are complete and full without children.”(Childfree by Choice, Kelly W., p.7). She says that having a child will not be required to make a person’s life feel fulfilled, being happy without one is a choice that can be made. Also, the author says “For instance, a close friend of mine desperately desired to be a mother but because she is a genetic carrier of an always-fatal type of muscular dystrophy, she opted to remain childless.”(Childfree by Choice, Kelly W., p.7). Her friend wants to be a mother but because she is a carrier of a muscle

Having a child is a huge responsibility, and most of the time it was preventable. A 2004 survey of American women declared that the first and second most common reasons were not health problems, rape, incest, or family members trying to convince them otherwise. Women at eleven major

For some, it is better to have never had a child and when a girl child is born, the mother knows that her daughter will have to endure the compounded pain of rape and the loss of her children.

Infertility can be extremely challenging for couples to overcome. It can be not only physically draining, but emotionally and mentally as well. Infertility can be easily compared to a roller coaster, with emotions going up and down from hope and optimism plummeting down to frustration and even grief after many the couple has tried for a long period of time. While for me personally, I first think of women when I think of infertility, the men play a large role as well. They are also hoping for children and the biological reason for the infertility can be from either sex. Research has also shown that infertility can make physically difficult and cause anxiety in couples, which could led to increased difficulty in conceiving (Domar & Gordon,

There are many reasons and scenarios to why people may have difficulties in raising a child. Financial reasons may be one of the major reasons people consider abortions or adoptions. It cost a fairly decent amount of money to raise a child and provide for it. In some tragic cases women decide to have an abortion or an adoption due to rape. In such a case it is almost conceivable to consider that as being an exception. Premarital relations and teenage pregnancies are other reasons as to why one would choose either of these alternatives. No teenager wants to be a parent or be forced to grow up while they are still in their youth. In today’s society, the

IIn our society today with the pro-choice world, there are many issues that women discuss like worrying about getting pregnant; it is a fear that everyone who is sexually active has to face. Having babies is a magnificent thing and embraced by many women around the world, yet having an unplanned baby at the wrong time is not so pleasant. Some women do not believe in abortion, so instead of aborting the baby, they keep the baby no matter what the conditions are. For example, some conditions are if you are young and having a baby it will be difficult to continue school, and financial wise. The population of our nation has expanded due to families having unplanned pregnancies. Today Women have many birth control options that allow them to plan to have a family. Access to contraception provides women and men choices regarding family size and timing to bring a baby into the world. Often times, groups and individuals on both sides the debate feel like outsiders who champion their cause to help women

After reading the article, I have come to the opinion that childfree people have legit reasons to not conceive or birth children and their reasons are not just completely black & white choices for their decision. In the article “Childfree by Choice” by Kelly J. Welch, goes well in depth in the increasing growth of young people deciding to not have children. The article brings in factual evidence and intriguing viewpoints that percentages of young or childless adults in modern has a high jump compares to it’s past recordings. The evidence in the article shows multiple reasons theses people chosen this option, but brings up three prominent and logical opinions on what lead to them choosing to not have children. I understand and relate to this topic more than anything else, for I am a young adult myself trying to find my place in this world and one of the main things in my head that constantly comes up is the potential to become a parent later on down the future. Also I am witnessing an increase of my former high school peers becoming parents at very young ages, where an average citizen would think these next generation has much more to give than being a parent right now. So with this thought into my brain I taken the three reasons that interest me to why some people don’t want kids, which are timing, career, and personality.
