Childfree women like me aren't tragic figures

Aniston didn’t mention in her essay some of the highlights of not being a mother. She might have said that being baby-free means a lot more disposable income, or how child-free women have more freedom to travel, to further their educations, or to merely go to bed really bloody early after a terrible day and emerge reborn at 7am. Child-free women can keep a beautiful, clutter-free home far easier. They can invest in foreign property instead. They have more time for a locked-on relationship with a lot of sex, plus time to pencil numerous projects and hare-brained schemes into the diary. They have time to be “the glue” in their extended family plans for Christmas and birthdays. They are good aunts, stepmothers and godmothers, as well as having half an eye on taking on their friends’ kids if the very worst happened.
