Still No Kids & Still Ok: A Childfree Humor Book - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Author Ellen Metter wrote the first humor book on the childfree choice, Cheerfully Childless, at the turn of the 21st century. Still No Kids looks at the childfree choice a quarter century later and asks, "Hey, how did that work out?"

"Humor has helped Metter communicate with others about a topic she says is misunderstood by a family-oriented culture."

Still No Kids works for those who just want to laugh or as an enjoyable launching point for the serious discussion of reproductive choice.

Now that Ellen Metter is nearly old enough to get “Save the Date” invites from the Grim Reaper, she’s ready to share an illustrated, light-hearted look at an intentionally childfree life, as well as an appreciation for those who do parenting with love, patience, and not too many screaming meltdowns.

There's less pressure these days to make lots of dimply babies. But what about the indecision that would-be parents experience as they consider their choices? Or the subtle societal nagging that says having zero children will lead to a lonely life with only Netflix and a grizzled old guy with no teeth as your friends?

Still No Kids & Still OK is for everyone!

• It’s for those considering a stroll down the toy-strewn path.
• It’s for those who said, “Hell, no, I won’t glow!” and never looked back.
• It’s for parents who will read this in the bathroom for about a minute at a time and appreciate and understand every word.
• And it's for anyone looking for a good laugh!
