Well, no, some of them whose is in their 30s and 40s decided that they don't want to have children. One of them is Cameron Diaz. She bluntly out with her decision not to have children any sooner. She recently lashed out at the people who were criticizing against her wish and the women who choose to be childfree by choice, saying that it's selfish act thing to do making that choice. It's wrong of them to say that all women should reproduce...they must be feeble-minded to think what it'd be like if all women should do. There's countless good reasons for anyone to choosing not to have a child. It's their personal on own, not anybody's business to pressure them on. It also includes men.

Yeah, the other reason why I wanted to post something about this to tell all of the certain childfree/childless women here and out there who are apparently experiencing of feeling the pressure and the judgemental criticism by other society or societies, that we are not alone in this. It's getting OLD already. As matter of fact, since the 19th century, childfree by choice is continuing on the rise ever since. Time for them self-loathing opininated, lack of understanding people to butt off once again. Lol.

Not only that, but also the lesser classes of people like us, regular people's life and parenthood can be screwed up to some extent. Breeders and good-loving strict parenting don't mix.
Yes, a word 'breeder' is an offensive. I had to say it anyway. So why bother to waste a such? /sarcasm |

I have two big boys (young men even 15 and 17), three godsons (3-7-9 years) and many friends with children I take care of
 It gives me a change from my daily routine, having fun with them, etc. It gives the parents a break from their busy lives with the kids.Sure it's not the same as having MY children but since I don't want any, believe me, there are days where I have my hands full of them and that's enough for me  and I am happy the way it is! And I love all of them just the same.I am grateful for having friends who understand my POV, don't pressure or juds me, and know their kids to be in good hands whenever they are with me (even if I tend to spoil them almost every time  )

But it was a very cool article. I love the women that said she likes them since they get to go home once she is done seeing them. |

Some of them were/are gays so they either couldn't have kids or don't want any.
Also some of them might not be able to have kids biologically. I recall from Katherine Hepburn's biography, she admitted she was too selfish to have kids. Ian Ziering married fairly recently so who knows if kids will come out of that union. Helen Keller might have kids if she was allowed to marry. She wanted to marry her suitor and have kids but her parents forbade her from marrying, which is sad because being a spinster was certainly not her choice. Keanu Reeves might not want to go through pregnancy again after losing his unborn child and fiancee in a car accident. Some of these people are quality actors and actresses so it was probably for the best that they didn't have kids. If Drew Barrymore does not have kids then she will definitely be the last of the Barrymore acting dynasty. George Clooney should have a child because he's got great genes, hehe.
