Every day since the divorce I’ve thanked God I didn’t have kids with that man. Not that he’s a bad person, by any stretch of the imagination. But what a pain in the asshole to have to co-parent with an ex you’re not even friends with. Yeesh.
Why I'm childfree
While I’m pontificating about the reasons for falling birthrates, I might as well share why I’m childfree. I’m writing this for a few reasons. First, because when I look back at my life I’m often curious about what I told myself about my choices at the time. When I’m 48 I want to be able to look back at what I was telling myself at 38 about my decision not to reproduce.
