Interviewees speak freely and honestly about their experiences, providing readers with both the many reasons people choose to live child-free and insight into what seems to them an unhealthy amount of societal pressure to become mothers and fathers. This book also presents interviews with parents who wish they had not had children while offering their reasons for feeling regret. Concluding with a look into the workplace, this title evaluates the fairness of allowing parents shorter days and time off to accommodate children, compared to the working environment of those who have chosen to live without children.<br></div> 423774 28 4 2005 Childfree and Loving It! total:29|5:10|4:11|3:7|2:0|1:1| 29 116 69 10 3 1 false false Fri May 30 10:54:17 -0700 2008 Fri May 30 10:54:23 -0700 2008 Child Free and Loving It
