What are the MAIN stereotypes that people have of childfree families?
1.They were unable to conceive children.
2.They were "too selfish" to have children.
3. They're lucky! (Few would ever say this out loud though)
4. They won't have anyone to look after them in old age.
(The reality is most folks in nursing homes have adult children!)
Even in this modern era we live in people are expected to want to have children. Personally I've never had a desire to have children. I believe people who don't want children should not have them.Thanks Grace!
Seems like the older we become the wiser we become.
