      Childfree - Al Sheridan

      Let’s BEGIN! 5 basic questions for start

      Q1. DO CHILDFREE PEOPLE hate children?

      Life story:

      Anna, 29, works as an economist in a small firm. All her colleagues are much older than her, they have families, they like to talk about children. Anna had normal relations with her colleagues, until one day she was told that it was time for her to have children, and Anna answered that she was not going to have them at all. After that, her life turned into hell.

      Every day the employees of the company discussed her behind her and spoke publicly about how much she was wrong. They were indignant at the fact that people like Anna hate children. They said that they would never let their children close to Anna, because she could harm them!

      Anna is a non-conflicting person, therefore, unable to convince her colleagues that she does not want evil to children, she eventually asked the director to transfer her to an unused room so she could work peacefully. It helped her, but she still gets upset when she sees after work, as her colleagues tell their children not to approach her - 'that evil aunt'. On such evenings she tries to pretend that she does not notice this, but, turning around the corner, she usually wipes away her tears and goes to a big kid's store to buy another toy for her beloved five-year-old niece Christina.

      The answer

      People who hate children are called childhate. Only a small part of childfree people are also childhate. Most childfree people do not have anything against children in general, they can play with them, but they just do not want to have their own children.

      Q2. What is the meaning of life, if not to have children?

      Life story:

      Caroline is 32 years old. From an early age she adored listening to fairy tales and reading books, she early began to compose her stories and share them with friends. After school, she entered the university and graduated from the English language and literature department.

      Now she has eight books published, and she finishes work on the ninth. According to one of her books, the film was shot, and Caroline was very pleased with the reviews. She is going to participate in the scripts contest of television series and does not understand why her neighbors regularly ask her when she is going to have children. And why is it so difficult for them to understand the answer ‘never’.

      Her neighbors think that all the nonsense, except for raising children, but Caroline sees a lot of other activities for which it is worth living. She agrees with the opinion that if you do not see the meaning of life other than children, this does not mean that others do not see it, either.

      THE ANSWER

      Some people believe that life does not make sense without their children. Good for them! But there are also those who consider creative, travelling, friendship, career or helping others to be the most important in their life.

      Q3. Do not religious people know that they are obligated to have children?

      Life story:

      Maria grew up a very calm child. She studied well at school, then studied history in college. But gradually she realized that she preferred a different path, and she came to the monastery and became a nun.

      She was never interested in children, but she always loved nature very much and with great pleasure grew flowers. At first, she did it on the windowsill in her bedroom, then in just a couple of years she created several beautiful flower beds on the territory of the monastery.

      Most of all, Maria loves to
