Appearances
They get along really well with other people.
And they often enjoy, as their parents do, a more undiluted relationship, especially if their parent has an illness or if they have ADHD or another cognitive or neurodivergent disorder.
They may manage to have one child
and have it work, that they're enjoying the child, the child's enjoying life, they're doing their work, they have the relationship.
But if they add another child to the pile, it is just going to be impossible.
And a lot of times people are pressured, oh, your child needs a sibling.
Absolutely not true.
So I believe that the one-child family is an excellent solution for many couples and also single people who want the pleasure of a child but don't want to be overwhelmed by the obligation for many children.
Well, some people do break up, and that can be the answer.
So if you think of the decision as being a scale from 0 to 10, an 11-point scale, and if you absolutely know that you would never have a child,
you would be the zero.
This is no criticism of child-free.
It's because you want zero children.
And if 10 is I was put on the earth to have a child and I will have to divorce my partner if they say no.
Most people are somewhere in between.
So a lot of times people actually can find a solution that will work for both of them.
And again, we're looking at myths.
So sometimes people have very unrealistic ideas about how lonely being child-free would be or how hard parenting is going to be.
And when they get more information,
they're actually able to say, well, maybe this could work.
