Having Children Is Not The Only Path To Happy Living

There are many reasons why people don’t want to have children; some feel that they can have a better lifestyle without the time consuming and many times joyless burden of raising a child. Others don’t want children because they are not ready to assume the responsibility of raising a child, some just don’t like children and don’t want to have one. There are countless ways a person can enjoy their life without having to be a parent. And more people than ever are experiencing the freedom and pleasure that is available by being childless. Not only do they have more time to enjoy themselves, but more money to spend. Instead of paying for the expenses of raising a child, that money can be spent on things like decent housing, entertainment, and countless goodies.

There are people that love children and are capable of raising them; they want a child more than anything else. Most of their lives are spent raising their children, and being a good parent is their goal. You can see those caring parents everywhere, they follow after their children with a gleam in their eye, and they are oblivious to anything else. Most look forward to the day when they will be grand parents, and are able to spend their final years with their grandchildren. That is the reward for being a successful parent. People that don’t want to raise children are thought of as rebelling against the wishes of Nature. Some people feel that they are doing gods work by raising children, then they should fill their homes with unwanted children, they will surely get a blessing for that. This might be a perfect way to place many homeless children in good homes.

Most married couples love kids even if they prefer to remain childless, many donate their services for their betterment. Some volunteer in programs that are helpful to working mothers; they tutor children without charge, helping those that are falling behind in their studies.

Some people that choose to have children are not able to support them, they will have to depend on the taxpayer. They are financially incapable of raising a child and should never have one. There are many kinds of lifestyles in today’s world, and raising children is not the only one. Childless people have more time for self discovery, and have a better chance for true happiness. Some of the people that wanted to remain childless are now outstanding citizens and are making large contributions to our society. They should not be downgraded just because they chose to remain childless. Those that want everybody to have a child will never be able to force people to have children; they will only create anger and not more children. If you decide to raise a child and think that you would be a good parent, go right ahead. But never push your personal choice on others; they also are entitled to the personal choice of not having a child.
