ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Childlessness

Childlessness means not having any children. Just like how some people have pets and some don't, some people choose to have children and some don't. Some people can't have children because of different reasons like medical problems, age or other reasons. It's okay to not have children, and everyone has different family plans. People can still lead happy and fulfilling lives with or without children.
