As a woman who is also ‘child-free’ by choice, I understand your frustration. I’ve come up with a few theories: 1. when people really enjoy something, its hard for them to imagine that someone doesn’t share their passion (think of how many times people have shared their hobbies with you, not realizing that you didn’t care). Perhaps people who really enjoy children just can’t fathom that some of us don’t like them. 2. Some religions focus on procreation as being an imperative from their god(s). If you are talking with someone who follows such a religion, they may consider children a religious mandate, not an option. 3. People are often afraid of things that are ‘different’. They don’t know how to deal with those of us who take a different path, so they attempt to sway us to that which they consider more ‘acceptable’ instead of honoring our decisions. That seems to sum up the people I’ve run into. Hope that helps!
