Ever obsessed with getting other people to marry or remarry and have children and completely baffled that there are people who want a different life from his, Dennis Prager asked (rhetorically, not as a call-in topic) during Hour 1 of his Wednesday, May 22 radio show what childfree people think as they get older.
I’m not childfree. I invite anyone who is “older” and childfree or has heard from someone who is, to leave a comment.
I’ll give a few examples of what I’ve heard:
Wow, I am enjoying retirement so much. Staying childfree allowed me to retire, and do so with enough money and freedom I can do the things I want.
Thank goodness I don’t have to deal with problematic children or grandchildren, like my classmate, who’s always talking about the drama she’s going through.
It’s great having the house I want and having it the way I want. It’s clean, orderly, set up for adults, and not all run down and dirty.
So glad I didn’t have to pay for college and weddings for kids and grandkids like my coworkers did. They’re still working while I’m retired.
Go ahead and add what you’ve thought or heard.
