@sheisapaigeturner: A lot of women are choosing to have no kids or fewer kids. And I think we underestimate how much this has to do with the unable division of labor between men and women. I highly recommend checking out Claudia Goldin’s work on this. ##mentalload##domesticlabor##workingmom##wfhmom##millennialmom##mentalloadofmotherhood##parenting
Let's also normalize not wanting kids. Not just because of the economics of it, but because some women genuinely do not want kids.

There are too many married single moms for me to ever consider motherhood.

95% of the work at home and still bringing in 55% of the income + providing the insurance. I’m so burnt out.

I’m not going to lie. One of the many reasons I chose to not have kids was not having confidence in my partner’s ability to share the burden of it all. I don’t regret it.

Even if you have a partner that participates you are now burnt out together.. there is no winning in modern parenting unless you can afford a nanny and maid.

Wonderful points but also- can we normalize being women who just don’t want to have kids?

Don't forget the rising maternal death rate and criminalization of women's healthcare!

We are 1 and done. My husband didn’t help at all when our son was born and although he is much better now, I’m never risking going through that again. I barely survived.

society decided both parents need to be working full-time to live, and then wonder why women don't want an unpaid full-time job on top of that 💀

It really is a group project. And we gals all know how that goes.

Women who don’t want kids have very logical and specific arguments as to why. Those who try to convince us otherwise have vague and shaming reasons why we should

This is definitely the #1 factor. We expect soooooo much from mothers and with little to no recognition. I love the idea of a family but I'm already tired.
