    choosing not to have kids

    There’s also the people who wanted to have kids, but weren’t able to due to medical/fertility problems. The article mentions “fertility intentions” briefly, but doesn’t really explore the psychology of it.

    Much as people who are childfree by choice may be irritated by kids, for those who are “childfree by circumstance” it can be painful to put up with other people’s when you can’t have your own.
