真是一個富有哲理的問題

Some people choose not to have children because they’ve already spent a lifetime being parents - to their own parents.

Their childhood was consumed by adult responsibilities, emotional labor, and duties they were not meant to carry.

The good ol’ childhood parentification. When people ask about your choice to live child-free, they don’t see the years you’ve already spent parenting.

There were responsibilities that were never yours to bear.

They praised you for your maturity and they called you wise beyond your years, but nobody asked why you had to be.

You deserved a childhood free from carrying others’ emotional baggage. Your experience is valid.

有些人選擇不生孩子，是因為他們已經花了一生的時間當他們父母的父母。
他們的童年被成年人的責任、情感勞動和不該由他們承擔的義務填滿。

這就是典型的童年“父母化”。當別人問你為什麼選擇不生孩子時，他們看不到你已經度過的那些當父母的歲月。

有些責任根本不該由你來背負。

他們稱讚你的成熟，說你超越年齡的智慧，但沒有人問過為什麼是你必須這麼做。

你應該擁有一個不需要背負他人情感重擔的童年。
