I’m child-free by choice — my ‘purpose’ in life is to shop, nap and get manicures
New York Post ^ | March 6, 2024 | Alexandra Klausner

All that she wants is another … handbag.

A woman named Stephanie Noble, who goes by @iamstephanienoble on TikTok, said she’s child-free by choice and would rather take naps than deal with a screaming child.

“Being a mother is the most important job in the world, but it doesn’t mean every woman needs to sign up for that,” the content creator and business owner told The Post. In a video posted four days ago, now with almost 3 million views, she said she constantly has to defend her kid-free stance.

A woman whose purpose in life is manicures and naps probably shouldn’t be a mother anyway.

But I am so grateful to God that I had children. Is there anything more wonderful than a baby? (Anything worse than age 13?)

Sometimes, even if you have children, ‘that care’ will be left to strangers.

Our family took care of the elderly and dying people at home. I don’t expect everyone to do that - we were in unique circumstances. But it saddens me that so many families today who could possibly do what we did, don’t even consider it. It’s also very sad that our economy discourages it, too.

Glad to see her remove herself from the gene pool.

It’s more often than not the case, that no matter how many children a couple has, it’s almost always just one adult child who takes on that responsibility, re an old parent/s.

This lady and your friend are living their respective lives as they see fit, and it is no one else’s business.

The only time I care is when it is some welfare queen or deadbeat popping out tax burdens for the rest of us.

This narcissist would have ended up raising a sociopath. Be happy her genetic and psychological influences end with herself.

I have several kids, and more grandchildren. I would reply that MY descendents will help pay for his social security and Medicare.

Notice that none of these people would DARE complain about a welfare mom wit 10 kids by 10 daddies.

Some folks should not have kids.
This Cat Lady is one of them.

Think of all the heartache kept away from some innocent children due to this noble creatures closed opening.

Blessings are given in many ways, some from the simple avoidance of harm.

People used to choose not have children. They didn’t make a big deal out of it.

I don’t find fault in her making a decision that is right for her but why it is newsworthy that she announce it to the world and a publication thought it was worth printing gets me.

It is sad. We had some assistance of home health care, but one of us were with Mom 24/7 up until the night she passed away. For the last week, we had to double up with two of us each night. We had a shared excel spreadsheet where we each filled in when we could be available. I didn’t see my hubby or home more than a couple hours every few days during that final week. I wouldn’t change a thing. Mother was still very sharp mentally and we talked more in that last year when I was staying with her than we had in years. I have those memories.

I realize there is often contentious relationships between parents and some of their children and often between the siblings themselves. Luckily we didn’t have any of that to deal with and all worked together for what was best for mother.

Wait till she is sick and in the hospital with no one to see her. Or hold her hand when she passes from this world.

she would probably continue with naps, shopping and her nails even if she did have kids.
The world’s better off without her offspring

Taking care of my grandmother was gruelling the last six months or so; but I wouldn’t change anything, either. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

It’s almost as if you relive their life in thought during those months of caring, and appreciate them even more.

- AOC also claimed she will never have kids. -

Actually, I think AOC is afraid of having twins and can't stand the thought of being pregnant for 18 months. ;-)

I wonder what she looks like in real life?

With all the filtering done via social media apps, plus the makeup, you don't really know what these women look like.

On social media, they all look like plastic mannequins.

I wonder if she expects other people to pay for her chosen lifestyle?

Perhaps society is blessed that this “Sex in the City” type of narcissist is not a parent. Can you imagine how messed up her children would be?
