“What is your pettiest reason for not wanting kids?” was a recent question posed to the r/childfree community by Reddit member u/Fearless_Law6729.
As someone who is often wondering whether having children is the correct decision for me in the future, I find more and more excuses to avoid having children every day.
I couldn’t resist sharing some of the amusing, relevant, and even trivial reasons that this discussion offered to anyone who may be experiencing similar emotions:
1. Let’s start with u/Fearless_Law6729 directly: “I have a lot of reasons that aren’t trivial, of course, but one.
That makes me happy is the fact that my racist narc mother-in-law will never have the grandchildren she so desperately wants now that I’ve had my bilateral salpingectomy.
2. “I take pride in proving wrong everyone that said I’d change my mind.” 3. “Sleeping in/going to bed late.”
