As strict food for thought and nothing more, I will share a true conversation without revealing any personal opinion on the subject.

A female co-worker and I married our husbands within a year or so of one another. In the office one morning, the motherhood topic came into conversation. In an attempt to curtail the dreaded topic, I expressed my disinterest in having a child by saying what I thought my colleague may have been thinking about me anyway….”Yes, I know, I guess I’m just selfish.” Interestingly, her reply was in such contrast to my expectation, I will never forget it. Her opinion was that “one of the most selfish things a person could do is decide to bring a little copy of themselves into the world.”

That was 10 years ago, I’m still child-free by choice and my co-worker has two beautiful children.

Imagine that.

And yet it’s always the people with kids who think it’s their business to ask a childless (childfree) woman why she doesn’t have kids. I have a child now, but I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to have one. However, since I didn’t have her until my late 30s, I was childless (childfree) far longer than most women. I was constantly being asked WHY I didn’t have any kids, and it was ALWAYS by people with kids who felt like they had the right to know my reasons. Yet, according to you, I was publicizing my reasons just by answering their questions. Well, I do have a child now, and I would never dream to ask some woman why she doesn’t have any kids yet. And guess what? I don’t have to worry about listening to her reasons if I DON’T ASK HER. That said, any woman who doesn’t have a gaggle of kids by her late 20s is always going to be given the Mother Super Act by women with children as being selfish blah, blah, blah because our culture is so fixated on motherhood being the be-all and end-all of a woman’s existence. Don’t whine you get what our culture asks for!

I 100% agree with this comment.

Also, I think plenty of people ARE interested in whether or not their favorite stars want children.

I thought the same exact thing when I first saw the story line.

Of course, I could not resist reading all the story or the posts of everyone’s opinions naturally.

Positive stuff, negative stuff; no one is forced to agree with another. That’s what makes us individuals. I get both sides of the coin even though I have do have 2 children myself. Even if I didn’t, I like kids and I love seeing the celebrity moms and babies. It’s an escape in ways.

Love and light to you all.

what is this, 1959? i’m actually quite shocked.

i’m here because i like looking at and reading stories about celebrity babies and watching them grow. is there some law that says i can’t enjoy reading about someone else’s children unless i want some of my own?

can i ask celebritybabies a question? why do you even put these articles up? what does celebrity women who don’t want children have to do with a celebrity baby site? they don’t want children, so why are they of any interest? put them in articles when and if they do.
