In reply to amritaspeaks. Hello, Ma'am. I am working on a research project where I have to interview women in Kolkata who have chosen the childfree lifestyle. I am finding it extremely difficult to locate such women. Would I have the pleasure of talking to you about this? Please contact me if you feel you can help me regarding this.

I agree with what you have said. I dont think not wanting to have a child will make you a bad person or even a selfish person…its a matter of responsible decision making…choosing what you think that is suited for your life rather choosing to be a parents and yet irresponsible just to serve the normal norms of society…

Nice read. I absolutely agree that everybody is entitled to their own life choices.

Hi,
I totally disagree with you , Have you ever thought that if everybody starts to think like you ( may be few more people like you) then our generation will be the last generation and the whole world will actually end. Why some people like you can not see the beauty and only talk about the ugliness. If you really want this world to end then why not now? Why not imminently? Why you want to live in this ugly world anymore?
I am Rajashree Samaddar a proud mother who has sacrificed her career just to take the best care of my son and make him someone who will be able to make this world a better place to live for our future generations.

In reply to kanchana.

Thank you Kanchana,
Yes I have always believed that a child is a choice that two people should only make when they are ready because bringing up a child is the most difficult job. I was looking for someone for a long time who would be so vocal about this and I am glad I found suchismita. I have known her for years though but as i told her it was this FB post she made that made me realise that she has a voice that will go places so I asked her to write and her post has gone viral 🙂

Cheers
Amrita

I love your design! And tbh parenthood seems to enforce the patriarchy…no amount of paid maternity leave or subsidised childcare changes who does the pregnancy and breastfeeding. That is why in Australia we need to look past gender and see people as individuals too.
