Of course kids are great and having them can be fun and exciting and magical and all those things. And also being childfree. It’s not about one being better than the other, it’s about highlighting the best parts of the life you have. And since not having children can be a choice that goes against societal (and familial) expectations, we think it’s important to celebrate it. So here are ten of our favorite things about being childfree.
- Your house is sometimes quiet.
- Your surfaces are rarely all sticky at the same time.
- You have (probably) never shown up to make a sticker on your shirt that you didn’t know was there.
- You can read books without cardboard pages.
- You can sleep on planes undisturbed.
- You can poop without anyone watching you, unless you have a cat.
- You can eat ice cream at any time of the day without having to hide in a cupboard to do so.
- You have (probably) never had your lipstick completely roasted by a baby.
- Naps. All the naps.
- You will have things that are important to you without fear of breaking them.
And there you have it, folks: ten more reasons to stay on top of your birth control.
