“I prefer to spend my money on fancy dinners than having a child” – 24-year-old lady reveals
Chandler Carter, a 24-year-old woman, has admitted that she doesn’t want children because she thinks it would be “selfish.”
Chandler revealed that before attending college and witnessing “thriving” childless women, she had always thought that getting married and starting a family was the next natural step in life.
She then came to the realization that it wasn’t what she wanted and began to travel two or three times a year while also treating herself to fancy dinners.
The social media manager stated that she would rather regret not being a mother than regretting not becoming a mother when she was younger.
US resident Chandler of New York stated, “I want to be child-free. You can be happy. I’d rather regret not having children than having a child and regretting the role of being a mum.
“I don’t fault people for having children but the reasons are selfish. People want to be a better parent than theirs were or because they want a mini me. Having a child is inherently selfish.”
Speaking further, Chandler revealed that she dreams of owning a penthouse and one day move to Europe.
She added:
“I’m in my 20s living in New York City. We go out, we have fun. We spend money frivolously. I can go to happy hour after work. I don’t have to cook if I don’t want to. I’m a big foodie, I love to eat out.
“Sometimes I spend a little too much money on dinner and drinks but I don’t feel bad. My cost of living is cheaper – I only provide for me.
“If I were to have children, living in New York wouldn’t be an option. Things in my life would have to change – sacrifices I wouldn’t want to make.”
In conclusion, she asserted that many people don’t consider the responsibilities of bringing children into this world but choose to do it because that’s all they see.
