About
Welcome to Zero Kids Zero Regrets!
If you've found your way here, you're probably looking for something: Maybe you're a young woman trying to decide whether you want to have children; maybe you're an older woman who decided not to parent and you're seeking validation of your choice; maybe you're the partner or parent of someone who isn't having children and wants to understand; maybe you can't have children and are hunting for silver linings; maybe you're just looking for resources on how to shut down all those people telling you you'll definitely regret not having kids someday. Whoever you are and whatever you're searching for, Zero Kids Zero Regrets is a place to explore all the complicated — and sometimes not complicated at all! — stuff around choosing not to parent.
We're not here to convince you: We firmly believe that there is no one right choice and that whatever choice you make (or whatever choice nature or circumstance makes for you) is deeply personal. Each person’s choice deserves to be made without pressure or coercion.
We believe you have the right to change your mind. We believe you have the right to reproductive rights, reproductive justice, contraception, and abortion. And we believe you have the right to zero regret if you choose zero kids.
Our team is composed of women in our 50s who have chosen not to parent and have no regrets about it. To the contrary, we're extremely happy with our decision! We want to share our experiences, especially with younger women who are frequently subjected to a common and accepted form of reproductive coercion — being told that you will regret it if you don't have kids. That is simply not every woman's experience, and we fill that gap in the public narrative about parenting with our perspectives.
