Married men without children

Posted on by

My hubby is a married man without children,
but I hesitate to give him some questions about being childfree.

According to the article, childfree/childless men seem to have many of the same concerns as women.
As it’s hard to find their homepages and blogs, I can’t guess how they feel about having children.

Do men without children feel guilt?

Childless women sometimes feel guilt about not being mothers,
but do childless men feel quilt and regret not being fathers?

I’ve hardly found any articles about “Do men without children feel guilt?”
Most people tend to consider that childless women should feel guilt rather than childless men.

I don’t suppose childless men should feel guilt,
but sometimes I feel like telling that parents who tell us childless women should feel guilt should feel guilt a little.

They sometimes need patience

This article is interesting.

As you know, there are a lot of child-friendly places.
Parents with children seem to believe they can go anywhere.

I hardly feel upset when my hubby and I are with them at restaurants, hotels and movie theaters,
but childless people who happen to see kids cry or run at such places often feel upset or angry.

Some of them think, “I don’t want to be with them, because I am here to enjoy dinner or travel or movies!”
“I want them not to come here!”

Let me say again, as you know,
there are a lot of child-friendly places.
They can have many places, but I don’t think they can have all places.
I think they sometimes need patience.

Where childfree people live happily

Where do childfree people live happily?

http://www.city-data.com/forum/general-u-s/1330343-best-cities-states-childfree-people.html

I am not sure where childfree people live happily in my country.

“Cities like Tokyo or Osaka are much better than villages,
because villages are mostly conservative and family-friendly.”
“I think cities are not always good. I live in the city, but around myself, there are many parents and kids.”

As for personally myself, I live in the city.
It’s family-freindly and conservative,
but I feel I live happily with my hubby.

Because of a family-friendly city,
childfree people don’t always live unhappily.

By the way,
if there is few parents and kids around yourself,
can you live happily as a cfer?

Going on a picnic

Sounds nice!

Actually, I don’t know how many childfree couples there are in the town I live.
Meeting and talking with other childfree couples might be enjoyable.
But going on a picnic with them might be also enjoyable!

By the way,
“Who will take care of you when you get old?”
such question is asked anywhere in the world, isn’t it?

A perfect baby

As you know, animals’ babies are mostly pretty,
aren’t they?

On the other hand,
human babies are not always pretty.
For example, I was not considered pretty when I was a baby,
while my younger brother was often told, “What a pretty baby!”

By the way,
do you think a pretty baby always becomes a pretty girl/boy?
Not always.

Even though they were born to be pretty,
they don’t always become pretty grown-ups.

“A pretty baby” reminds me of “a perfect baby”.
The word is not popular in my country yet,
but according to the article I read,
“a perfect baby” is pretty, smart, and healthy.

A lot of people try hard to have perfect babies.
but if the parents’ dream doesn’t come true, what will happen to them?

I don’t know exactly,
because I was not born to be a perfect baby.

Fencesitting

During the last three years of my infertility treatment,
I was a fencesitter.
I didn’t know what “fencesitter” means yet.

http://www.happilychildfree.com/fencesitters.htm

By the way, while reading the article about fencesitters,
I suppose they are similar to “Funin-sama”(What can I say it in English?).

“Fencesitters” are not known among the net world in Japan yet,
this is why they might be called “Funin-sama” instead of “fencesitters”.
