Although this statement is not well received in society, it is true that the number of women who voluntarily give up motherhood is a part of society, and rather increasing. There may be several reasons for this decision.
Today, women have a very wide range of employment opportunities, and building a career is no longer a privilege reserved for men. Women also find fulfillment in their work in key positions, and for many of them, work is fulfilling. Women who find meaning in their work are often very successful and work hard to achieve something. Sacrificing their careers to provide for their children is too great a sacrifice for these women.
There are also women for whom being a mother is too disruptive to a lifestyle that suits them. Women who have become accustomed to a certain lifestyle, devoted primarily to self-improvement, often feel that there is no room for children in their lives. They study, travel, play sports, and spend time with their loved ones. [Another reason may be the lack of maternal instincts. This instinct cannot be enforced if the woman not only does not feel a biological need to have children, but also has no interest in children in general. Another aspect that complicates the situation for many women is the fact that having children is a responsibility. Some women are uncertain of the times and speak of the responsibility of bringing a child into the world as too heavy. Also, the fear of failure is often a factor, and childhood failure is often a contributing factor.
However, women who choose a childless life must persevere. Society still tends to condemn this group of women as selfish careerists. They are often misunderstood by those around them and are constantly forced to defend their decisions. They are also often scorned and considered youthful indiscretions. However, it is important to realize that a selfish decision is to conceive a child solely because of one\’s partner, one\’s environment, or because one is expected to. Every woman has the right to live her life happily. The foundation of a happy, child-free relationship is finding a partner who wants the same thing. However, one must also take into account that this can change. The key is for the partners to be honest and upfront with each other. Frustration can be very damaging to a relationship and can lead to its demise.
