The Chosen Lives of Childfree Menby Patricia Lunneborg
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:More and more couples are choosing not to have children. While much attention has been paid to this trend from a woman's point of view, men are often seen as having a secondary role in this choice, as ready to accept whatever their partners decide. In an age when men are expected to be caregivers as well as breadwinners and encouraged to take on more parental responsibilities, this volume argues that they need to be active participants in this crucial, life-altering decision. Based on in-depth interviews with 30 American and British childless men, this is the first book to explore the motives and consequences of voluntary childlessness from a man's perspective. Book News Annotation:Based on interviews with 30 American and British men, challenges the
stereotype that men without children are immature, selfish, and
irresponsible. Finds nine main types, including workaholics, lifelong
learners, early retirees, stress reducers, and men avoiding the
mistakes of their parents. Argues that men should be active
participants in decided whether or not a couple has children.
