Book Description
This cartoon-filled humor book brings cheer to those who are leaning against parenthood but don't get much support from a society that teaches the four R's: Reading, 'Riting, 'Rithmetic, and Reproduction! Serious books on the subject of choosing to be childless abound, but nothing light-hearted -- until now. Emotions run high on this topic, and that's precisely the sort of issue where humor thrives. Erma Bombeck looked at family life, Scott Adams took on work life, and Ellen Metter and illustrator Loretta Gomez tackle the question with a life-altering answer: Is it my fate to procreate?

From the Inside Flap
Is It Your Fate Not to Procreate? There's quite a range of reasons attached to the decision to remain childless. Some women are afraid of the excruciating pain of childbearing. Some are afraid of the excruciating pain of child *rearing.*

Are you still unsure? You just don't know if bellows of 'Mom!' or 'Dad!' will ever be used to get your attention? It's not an easy call. Let Cheerfully Childless help. Inside you'll find some of the reasons "Parenting May Not Be For You If..."

You consider a Happy Meal to be any meal that includes a dry martini.

You think 'PTA' stands for Pizza Take-Out Association.

Refrigerator art leaves you cold.

The thought of a loaded diaper makes you want to get loaded.

Cheerfully Childless is a light-hearted look at the (hopefully) considered decision to become a parent -- or not. There are plenty of serious books on the issues. Now it's time to have a giggle about it.
