You Don't Have To Breed To Be Happy
One of the biggest myths is that you must reproduce in order to accomplish something in life. This is simply not true. For those who want to have children, that is their choice. Therefore it should also be a respected and respectable choice to not have children.
There are many reasons why people choose to live child-free. The one I hold closest to my heart is the problem of over-population. We are using up the planet's resources faster than we can replenish them, and some of them once gone can never be replaced. To breed just because you think you have to is to ignore the fact that our planet cannot handle so many people.
Another excellent reason is that we live in a culture of war and violence. There are many who choose not to have children that will grow up to become cannon fodder for religious wars and wars that will be fought over dwindling resources such as oil, water, and farmland.
Perhaps the most controversial reason is that some people are just not suited to be parents. Some have childhood traumas they don't wish to pass on to their children. Others carry genetic illnesses that cannot be cured by medicine yet and until there are cures, they prefer not to inflict such illnesses on children. And still others have plans for a life that leaves no room for children.
All of these are valid reasons for not having children and deserve the same respect, no matter what the reason. In the end, what we do and don't do is our choice and no one else's.
ISSUES AND UNFAIR TREATMENT-ENTITLEMENT
If the kind of discrimination and separation of benefits that frequently occurs between those with children and those who have chosen to remain child-free were practiced on people of color and certain ethnic groups, the outcry would be heard loud and clear. Here are some specific annoyances the child-free have to deal with on a daily basis:
1. Unequal distribution of time off and benefits in the workplace is the primary complaint. A child-free employee should not be expected to pick up the slack at work because a parent has to fetch a child from soccer practice or daycare. If such practices occur then the child-free employee should be compensated fairly for the time they are in effect doing the work of two or more employees.
2. Another complaint is that a belief is predominant in society that someone who has given birth is somehow better or more deserving than someone who has chosen not to give birth. This sense of entitlement creates and us and them situation where no difference exists between people except that one has bred and one has not. This is not a fair, valid or just criteria for measuring worth.
3. Unequal financial benefits for those who breed is a form of discrimination that must stop. Incentives such as higher tax credits for those who have children, no matter how much they make, is blatant discrimination. Tax credits should be based on income and not number of children. Why should a senior citizen struggling to get by on minimum social security payments receive less assistance than an upper middle class couple with several children.
4. The village is not responsible for parenting. This is an annoyance that allows irresponsible breeders to expect everyone to raise their children for them. Part of parenting as an adult, functioning member of society is the realization that parenthood comes with responsibilities and the primary one is that the parent is responsible for raising the child.
5. Adults who have chosen to remain child-free should not have to live in a world where every form of entertainment, reading material, and internet access is limited because children might accidentally stumble upon inappropriate material. It is much more reasonable to expect that parenting includes the ability to monitor your own children's access to things you consider objectionable. It is why televisions and computers come with an off switch. Do not punish adults for your own ability to parent your children.
6. It's time to dispel the myth that you can only be happy by reproducing yourself. This is an insult to the child-free and is simply not true. If happiness were a measurement of worth, then many parents would fail the test.
7. Not everyone is meant to be parents. Accept that as a fact and quit penalizing those who choose not to breed.
8. Understand that there are many reasons people choose not to have children such as concerns for an overpopulated planet and limited resources, the knowledge that one does not have the patience or desire to parent, and the understanding that leaving behind great works of art, music, and literature are no less a legacy than playing your genes forward.

Printfection, another alternative to Cafepress
Don't feel right supporting Cafepress anymore?
Many shopkeepers are either leaving Cafepress or expanding their offerings to other Print On Demand companies due to the changes that left us feeling used, abused, and way under-appreciated. I urge people to keep in mind that Cafepress won't be hurt if you boycott them but the small shopkeepers like me will be. Therefore if you want to continue to support us, do check out the competition. There are several and they are very nice, do an excellent job, and are very happy to have us designers help them grow their businesses. Printfection is one I've been at for a while and they have nice products at a reasonable price, and you get nice discounts for buying in bulk.

In the last few months I've decided to devote more time to this topic because it's become even more important when you consider the impact of overpopulation on our planet. I just opened a new cafepress shop that's devoted just to child-free by choice and their pets. I may add some travel posters to it eventually.

Hubby & I don't want kids, and if we do, there's nieces & nephews and kids already here on earth that need homes.

- I'm a childfree "wannabe". I never wanted kids and found out too late that I was pregnant at 26. I was a reluctant and unhappy mother but now that my son is grown I'm going back to school, taking dance classes, etc. Having children is a trap. Don't do it.

Have you made the decision not to have children?
I'm interested in your reasons. Mine are varied as I am but mostly focus on my passions such as preserving the planet's limited resources by reducing overpopulation, not wanting to contribute cannon fodder for present and future wars, and because I really can relate to the saying that I wouldn't have children as long as I found it nearly impossible to keep houseplants alive.
