More and more people these days are deciding not to have children. Is it really that shocking? The cost of everything keeps going up and a lot of people struggle to get by just with themselves.
So, turns out showing off your childfree life is relatable content. 39-year-old Jackie Dives, a Vancouver-based photographer found this out when her Tiktoks blew up over the last few days.
Jackie runs a Tiktok vlog series showcasing the childfree life experience.
Her videos reach a lot of people who relate to the content and find comfort in their own decisions to be childfree.
Check out the Tiktoks for yourself:
@jackiedives When my partner left our relationship after 5 years because he wanted to have a baby, I knew I didn’t want to be a parent, but I felt lost because I had no examples of what my life could look like. This is what a happy childfree life can look like. #childfreebychoice
If you’ve decided not to have children, you may find these Tiktoks empowering.
@jackiedives You can live a childfree life that is not lonely. #childfreebychoice #artistsoftiktok #solotravel #solotravelwoman
In a recent development, another Tiktoker asked the question, “If you are [in your] 40s and up and a woman or even a woman with a partner who has gone their entire life childless (on purpose), please tell me what your life is like now”
Jackie responded.
Here’s the Tiktok:
@jackiedives #stitch with @Maelen S. women are shown one way to live their life because entertainment media never features childfree narratives. #childfree
People on Tiktok, both with children and childfree enjoy Jackie’s content. The comments are mostly positive.
