To Procreate or Not to Procreate

Joanna Goddard interviewed five women about why they don’t want to have children — their reasons are thoughtful and well-articulated and allllllllllllllll different. BUT NO ONE MENTIONED MONEY, which everyone knows is THE REAL REASON not to have kids. That’s okay the NYT has a whole article on the COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS and its effect on people deciding to end their bloodlines.

What is YOUR reason not to have kids? Mine has to do with wanting to do whatever I want, whenever I want to, but also comes with a clause that I can change my mind about this or anything at any time, ever.
