 Give your opinion on the quote.

People
don’t even
ask
whether
you have
kids. It’s
assumed”
– Mrs. Grieco

What do you think of this couple’s choice?

Would you do the same?

‘’’ “As the number of US couples without
children increases, a growing number of them
are favouring – and pampering – pets as they
would kids.” – BBC

What do you think of this tendency?

In your opinion, why do people make

this choice?

Does this happen in Brazil as well? (Why?)

 “I kind of took the perspective that I
don’t think it’s responsible for me to
bring a child into this world.”
– Lisa Rochow

“It’s exciting because it really feels like,

Discussion could we be turning the corner where
people aren’t seen as strange or an
outcast… for making this decision [of
being child-free by choice]?”
-Maxine Trump

“But, in addition to conserving money,

[…] their decision is saving them
‘emotional toll’ of having children too.”
– BBC
