No Kids: 40 Good Reasons Not to Have Children

No Kids: 40 Good Reasons Not to Have Children
- Used Book in Good Condition
The shocking treatise that was a bestselling international media sensation upon its 2007 publication in France now makes its eagerly anticipated English-language debut.

A mother of two herself, Maier makes her deadly serious, if at times laugh-out-loud-funny, argument with all the unbridled force of her famously wicked intellect. In forty to-the-point, impressively erudite chapters drawing on the realms of history, child psychology, politics, and the environment, Maier effortlessly skewers the idealized notion of parenthood as a natural and beautiful endeavour. Enough with this â€œbaby-maniaâ€ that is plaguing modern society, says Maier, itâ€™s nothing but brainwashing. Are you prepared to give up your free time, dinners with friends, spontaneous romantic getaways, and even the luxury of uninterrupted thought for the â€œvicious little dwarvesâ€ that will treat you like their servant, cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars, and end up resenting you?

Speaking to the still â€œchild-freeâ€, to fellow suffering parents, and to adamant procreationists alike, No Kids is a controversial, thought-provoking, and undeniably entertaining read.

Reasons to avoid having kids:

â€¢You will lose touch with your friends
â€¢Your sex life will be over
â€¢Children cost a fortune
â€¢Child-rearing is endless drudgery
â€¢Vacations will be nightmares
â€¢Youâ€™ll lose your identity and become just â€œmomâ€ or â€œdadâ€
â€¢Your children will become mindless drones of capitalism
â€¢The planetâ€™s already overcrowded
â€¢Your children will inevitably disappoint you
