Jasmine Parasram and her husband, Rohan, made the decision to remain childless after initially being undecided. Their choice was influenced by their observations of friends’ experiences with children and their own preferences.
Growing up, Jasmine always had questions and sought clarity. She and Rohan first discussed having children on their first date, a topic typically saved for later.
Jasmine and Rohan’s decision has faced some pressure from family, particularly Rohan’s mother who predicted twins in Jasmine’s future. However, they both agree on their stance.
The couple enjoys the freedom and flexibility that comes with being childless. They can spend weekends relaxing or pursuing hobbies without any parental responsibilities.
Although their decision has led to changes in some friendships, Jasmine and Rohan are content with their choice. They find joy in their careers, relationships, and personal pursuits.
