The decision to become a parent or not isn’t one people typically take lightly, but when you choose to be child-free, outsiders don’t always understand why and they’re often not afraid to ask. According to Metro, that’s exactly why one woman took to social media to share the reasons she doesn’t want to have kids, but she may not have expected the response she got.

Ellie Gonsalves, a model and actress, recently posted a list of 117 reasons she doesn’t want to have children on Instagram. The 32-year-old has been in a relationship for 15 years and says she started the list after constantly being asked why she didn’t want kids. The reasons she shared with her 1.2 million followers include everything from “they are YOUR responsibility until the day you die” to “terrible twos” to “postpartum hair loss” to the gross fact that “they can poop inside you.”

The nay-sayers weighed in too:

While people praised Ellie for her “very honest and personal” take and called her “brave,” commenters also labeled her “self-centered” and said she would “regret it” when she’s “old and lonely.” She says she also got hundreds of DMs with strangers calling her “horrible” and “broken” for not wanting to be a mom and she hits back at those haters. “Just because you have kids doesn’t mean they will like you or even want to be around you when you’re old and potentially considered a liability,” Ellie says. “As an old lady I’m going to be enjoying life with a marg in my hand, going on my hot girl walks with my beautiful husband, 400 Pomeranians, and gossiping with all of the old biddys [sic] about THEIR kids.”

Rambunctious Puppies And A Singing Cat Have Gone Viral

I love my dog and two cats.  My dog Zoe likes to lick the glass of our back patio door and basically everything else.  Not to mention her paws smell like corn chips no matter how many baths we give her.  What causes that?  The cats cry wolf often and have lately been waking my wife and me up about 45 minutes before the first alarm goes off.  As annoying as they all are, we love them so much because they're all cute and fluffy.   I wonder if this guy who fell on his face while trying to wrangle puppies feels the same way.

A man in Washington state was dog-sitting 10-week-old Rottweiler puppies.  The challenge for him was to escape the puppy pen before they did.  After several failed attempts, it looked like he was finally going to make it out without the chance of a puppy escaping.  As he was running towards the gate he stumbled and faceplanted HARD.  Luckily puppy kisses make everything feel better because that's exactly what he got.  Check out the video below!

Puppy Problems

Ouch.  Hyper puppies can be pretty annoying, but so can cats that just continue to meow or yell at you outside of your window.  This happened to a popular YouTube musician.  His channel is called The Kiffness.  One day his neighbor's cat showed up outside of his back door and just started yelling at him.  Him being a musician he took matters into his own hands and recorded the cat, put some reverb on the cat's noises, and turned it into a song.  To be honest, it's actually pretty catchy.

I'm just waiting for this to hit Tik Tok.
