About Forget Having Kids. I’m Having Fun: 1000 Random Reasons I Chose to Be #ChildFree
Through clever, intimate, and relatable personal anecdotes, author Dane Reid shares why he chooses a child-free life. His no-holds-barred, real-life, and sometimes exaggerated stories are equal parts edgy, racy, funny, and wise. Forget Having Kids pushes boundaries in its examination of such topics as: parental rights, corporal punishment, expectations vs reality of being a parent, and the high cost of raising children. This insight-filled book encourages positive self-care while challenging traditional ideas of the role a man plays in deciding whether or not to have children.
