Twice as many people today are not having children than 30 years ago. In an unprecedented survey, Kaye Walters has polled over 4,000 non-parents from 59 countries to find out why--in their words--they chose not to parent, and the issues they face for not doing so. Kidfree & Lovin' It! speaks to all types of non-parents--single or coupled, male or female--whether they are "childfree by choice," "kidfree by circumstance," "childless" or "on the fence."
Here's a sampling of what's inside:
- Hundreds of insightful quotes about kids, parenting and non-parenting from both the "childfree" and "childed."
- A look at the reasons why people have kids, and a thorough examination of why others don't.
