A 24-year-old woman named Chandler Carter has disclosed that she doesn’t want to have children because she thinks it’s “Selfish.”
Chandler Carter revealed that she always believed that getting married and having children was the next step in life after university until she attended college and saw childless women “flourishing.”
That’s when she realized it wasn’t what she wanted, and now she spends her time traveling and hosting nice dinners two to three times a year.
According to the social media manager, she would rather regret not having children in her prime than regret motherhood itself.
Chandler, from New York, USA, said,
“I want to be child-free. You can be happy. I’d rather regret not having children than having a child and regretting the role of being a mum.
“I don’t fault people for having children but the reasons are selfish. People want to be a better parent than theirs were or because they want a mini me. Having a child is inherently selfish.”
Additionally, Chandler Carter revealed that she dreams of one day owning a penthouse and moving to Europe.
She added:
“I’m in my 20s living in New York City. We go out, we have fun. We spend money frivolously. I can go to happy hour after work. I don’t have to cook if I don’t want to. I’m a big foodie, I love to eat out.
“Sometimes I spend a little too much money on dinner and drinks but I don’t feel bad. My cost of living is cheaper – I only provide for me.
“If I were to have children, living in New York wouldn’t be an option. Things in my life would have to change – sacrifices I wouldn’t want to make.”
She concluded by saying that many people don’t consider the responsibilities of bringing children into the world, but choose to do it because that’s all they see.
