"Having kids in the US is a scam": Woman Reveals the Reasons Why More Women are Choosing Not to Become Mothers and Embracing a Child-Free Life Instead


For ages, motherhood has served as humanity's primary method of reproduction, standing as one of the most critical roles women have fulfilled in society. Yet, in the present era, does motherhood have the same level of importance it once held? Specifically, is the choice to embark on the journey of motherhood still as worthwhile in...

Zero Benefits
While she's uncertain about the existence of incentives for motherhood in the past, she confidently says that there are no incentives whatsoever at present.

"Women aren't becoming moms anymore because it sucks. There's literally no incentive to become a mom anymore," the TikToker states.

The "Horrible" Reality
One of the key reasons why the original creator considers motherhood to be unfavorable is pregnancy, which she describes as "horrible" for most women. Moreover, she points out the lack of adequate healthcare and the absence of parental leave once the baby is born, adding that there is no paid leave available.

New Moms Left To Suffer
She also claims that women are rarely monitored for postpartum depression and anxiety, except for a single checkup at six weeks, and this lack of ongoing support makes the lives of new moms even harder since they can suffer from postpartum symptoms and depression for up to a year.

Schooling is a scam, hospital bills are a scam. Travel ball and dance classes are scams, daycare is a scam.

She’s right, maybe not for the same reasons, but she’s right.

Parenthood and especially motherhood offer very few benefits in the present and birth rates won’t increase until they do.

Anyone who thinks this should not have any. They make you want to murder and sling shite everyday but they are a blessing and your life will never be complete without them.

Good grief what a selfish entitled pile of shite we've become as a society.

Ummm, I don't know maybe the simple and basic unmatched joy of creating another human being and being their to protect them, love them and help them grow.

I swear I hate humanity more every day

She probably doesn't have to worry about someone wanting kids with her

"Selfishness."

I'm sure she'd have gotten paid less though for a one word article.

Well if you know you're down/depressed... why don't you go and see someone?

People take zero responsibility for their own behavior and health.

If you feel you need support, go and get it.

This is just their way of saying I can’t attract a man.

If you are looking for some kind of benefit via the power of the federal government for procreating, I hope you don't have kids. The truth is there are significant benefits from daddy government, not to mention the fulfillment that it adds to your life, and the way having kids tends to reform even the dumbest of us, providing they were a decent person to begin with.

Classic sociopathic, narcissistic bitch.

A child is the benefit. I hope you never become a father. that poor child.

This is a strange position to take. Why should secular society incentivize you to make an intensely personal decision on whether you want to have and raise a baby?

I get tax breaks and considerations on the back end, but this thread reads to me as it’s up to the government to cajole you into having kids.

She also raises another point about why having a baby isn't a good financial investment

How materialistic are these people? Yes, they cost a shite load of money. Sorry you can't buy those designer shoes you want.

They are no longer human. They're just a commodity.
