Woman celebrates being childfree at 40
In the video, the woman, identified as @destinyuteh3 on TikTok, was seen rejoicing at home, clearly content with her decision.
Her video was accompanied by a message urging people to reconsider their motivations for having children.
She questioned whether people were having children solely to secure care and support in their old age.
In her words:
“40 years with no kids. People still don’t understand. 40 years no kids and living my best life. Having kids is a choice and you can be happy if you decide not to have kids. You’re giving birth to children because you want them to be your nurse or caregiver? Ask yourself why you want kids.”

“I’m sorry you are unhappy with your life so have the need to diminish someone else’s life choices in order to validate your own as the “correct ones”. Hope it gets better for you soon.”
