What helped you make the decision to be child-free? How do I be sure about what I want? Looking for recommendation - resources, articles, books etc.

My partner just let me know he would be ready to start trying in a year. My head just spun. I am not ready now at 31 (as a woman and my clock is going tick-tock) and I don’t think I will ever be ready. I am neither excited about the process of birthing nor does a crying pooping tantrum-throwing machine excite me!

    That’s terrible advice. A C-section is a major abdominal surgery, where you can’t do much after, and for weeks. (This includes a carry limit of less than baby plus car seat)

    Truly, if birthing is a problem, adopt. But if children are the problem, then maybe it’s not for you.
