I am actually made of paper. I have x-ray vision but it gives me a bit of a headache. I swim in a sea of uneasiness somewhere off the coast of Australia.

We are taught that it’s important to be respectful, yet a couple’s decision to not have a family is still openly frowned upon. A woman who doesn’t want children is still considered abnormal, a childless man is thought to be selfish and immature.
It is not the business of anyone but the couple (and potentially their doctors) whether they should decide to have children. That means it’s none of your business, so think before you utter any of these condescending phrases to a childless/childfree person.
