Woman is criticized her because she doesn't want children: she explains the reasons for her choice
The choice of having a child or not is a personal and uncontestable matter. Whatever the reason, a single person or a couple can decide what is right for them to do, and if you decide not to have a baby, no one should judge you for it. Unfortunately, quite often the opposite happens and many, especially women, are accused of being selfish and are criticized for choosing not to be parents.
This is a circumstance in which the young woman we are about to tell you about in this article found herself, who, to clarify her position, decided to shoot a video and posted it to social media. Let's see what she said:
The subject of this story is called Maria and she became famous amongst TikTok users for posting a video in which she talks about the many reasons that led her to choose not to have children. After receiving criticism and accusations for her choice not to become a mother, Maria decided to respond with a list of reasons that are valid for her. Let's find out what these are:
First of all: "I don't want to have children because I don't want to" - this is a statement that sounds definitive and that everyone, including her, can make without any ifs, ands or buts. As a single and rational individual, everyone is free to set out on the path that he or she deems most suitable for themselves. And while those around them can certainly interject with advice and opinions, these often unsolicited opinions not be listened to (or even appreciated).
Maria's second reason is related to her own hypothetical pregnancy. "Expecting a baby would involve a change in my body for which I do not feel ready," she said. Basically, she is fearful of how much her physique could change in the 9 months of carrying a baby, and the young woman prefers not to experiment on herself.
In addition to these and other reasons related to her body, Maria is also afraid of not being the right person to give birth to a child and love an infant as it would deserve. "I like children and I'm a good aunt, but I don't want any of my own," she admitted in the video. And, then, she wonders, in what kind world is a child who is born today destined to grow up in? This is a question that many potential future parents ask themselves and that, in many cases, causes them to abstain, just like the woman in this story.
These are just some of the reasons that the woman has evaluated and many users have commented on them. Many continue to disagree with her and criticize her; others, on the other hand, support her philosophy and reinforce it. One user, for example, says: "It is absurd that even today a woman has to justify herself if she decides not to become a mother. Everyone has the right to make the choice she believes in". Another reads: "Not to mention one’s career. Do you know what happens to pregnant women? They have to stop, or slow down with work, or change it and do something less stressful". Another said: "As a mom, I can tell you that one child was enough. You don't want to have any more and one is more than enough."
In short, there was a chorus of people who, as parents or not, do not believe it is right for others to contest another’s personal choices. And this is one thing that should apply to everything in life - even more so when it comes to children and other equally important decisions.
What do you think about this?
