My children have the most beautiful aunt, and she never been married never had children. She is a school teacher. She helps the handicapped children with disabilities. She goes to church mass twice a week. She’s kind and giving and loves her nephews. She talks to them. She’s a wonderful , humble & caring aunt. 💟
My aunt Dottie never married and never had a child. She helped my parents raise us as she helped all her nieces and nephews. She bought my school clothes, took me to the hair dresser every two weeks, taught me how to make potato salad and other dishes, corrected me when I was wrong and was there from the day I was born til the day she died. She was an amazing aunt and mother to all her nieces and nephews.

I am an intensive care physician. I love my job. I love my dog. I do not want children. I already have to educate colleagues and my patience is not very long. And I knew from 11 year old I did not want kids....so why should I force it and be a bad mom? Working 80%/60-72 Hours a week.... who would raise the child?
Personally, I don't have the patience to do a good job at parenthood so I'll happily leave that job to someone who is interested and willing. However, I am a fantastic aunt (and great-aunt) and I am more than happy to support the public school system with my tax dollars. So don't tell me that there's no place for me at this table.
Shout out to my mom’s 2 sisters, Auntie Kesha and Auntie April who supported us financially, made sure we were on track academically, attended field trips when my mom and dad could not make it, and now that my sister & I have graduated from college and have entered corporate America, both Auntie’s are now our mentors to make sure we have successful careers. I’m honored that both aunts felt that we, their godchildren and students were enough in which we are truly grateful.

@JamieKim821 So well said!! Thank you! I'm writing this story down!! 💙💙💙 Buy the way, I did have 1 child, I have 1 grandchild and 3 great grandchildren! I worked when my child was in highschool until I could retire. I also love cats, which I have 1 now and have had one most of my life! AND my husband loved and supported me until his passing! GET OVER IT VANCE!!!
I am a 55 year old woman that has raised 3 childern who are now productive adults. I also now have 3 grandsons. I did not give birth to any of the kids I raised.
Congratulations!! Thanks for your attention to these kids. I wonder if JD would have a problem with you or not, and I also found it interesting that he had nothing to say about men with no children.
Thank you for saying this. Yes I'm 54 and childless due circumstances and I help a lot of people in my coaching biz. I live my purpose and live happily. I don't have to have kids to be whole. ❤️🙏
I concur. Giving birth does not validate your self worth as a woman, neither does marriage. There are many childless women who have made significant contributions to elevate society. Studies show women over the age of 55 who have never married and have never had children are the healthiest and happiest people. I believe it. I’m one of them. Intelligent women know there’s more to life than serving a man your entire life and making sure his needs are met. It’s so good to have a choice. Find what makes you happy and do that.
I’m 63 and never married. I had a boyfriend and the first time he punched me, I walked. He’s been rotting away in prison for some time. And I’m living my life by MY leave, and not anybody else’s.

I don't want to be a mother but love supporting my friends who have children. Most families need support and a network these days and I couldn't do it if I had children on my own. I work in child protection and I don't think I'd have the nerve to do my job if I had children at home.... So I agree 100%
@@anonymoose116It's about choice too and doing what is right individually. We also need to remember there are people who for medical reasons are unable to have children and that they make their contributions to society in other ways.
@karenmonson9893 I'm specifically talking about people who choose to not have children. Those that can't but want them: there's 400k kids in foster care waiting to be loved.
@karenmonson9893 Absolutely!! There are women who are not able to have children & some may choose not to which fine. And honestly, it's no one's business. Some adopt, foster, or just help care for other children. A woman's worth is not about if she has children at all. 😊 And unfortunately not everyone makes a good mother some really don't deserve children either.
@theresagriffin9424 - I'm 57, I've birthed a child. However, I am also a step-mother, Auntie and God-mother. Honestly, I couldn't love those nieces, nephews and God children any more, even if I had birthed them. I believe this is probably true for many other aunties, step-moms and God mothers . We are nurturing these kiddos whether we birthed them or not and that's what counts. We won't let the tactics of those lunatics divide us as women. We are each moving humanity forward in a positive direction. ❤❤
Aunts are the favourite next to grand parents. Your nieces and nephews are lucky to have you. I am also in my 40s with few nieces and nephews but I am really sad that I don’t have kids of my own
My niece said I'm her best friend ❤ I almost cried, even though I know someone else will be her best friend next month LOL (toddler). But hey I'm up there!
I chose not to have children, and I don't regret it. I knew I wouldn't be a good mother, and I didn't want to be one. I am many other things to many people and animals. Kudos to all the great mothers out there, and Kudos to all the women without children. We are all on this earth for a reason, and we all have importance and worth.
HER MOMMA IS DIANA ROSS!!! She was raised by a strong woman who sees no race or gender ! I'm born and raised in Southern California and I Identify as a black mixed woman with Muskogee creek and white,,, MY FAMILY DID NOT RAISE ME TO BE RACIST PERIOD!! I WAS RAISED ON LOVE AND TO JUDGE A PERSON CHARACTER!!!! 💯🙏🫵🙌💪
Old white guy here I danced with her mom Diana Ross on stage with her at the Valley Forge Music Fair when she was in concert there. I was probably in my 20's and was beep booping in my seat and she said come on up here and dance and we did.
As a mother to a 33-year-old daughter that has had about at least 3 miscarriages, it’s sickening to hear someone say such madness. My daughter is a beautiful, strong, Air Force veteran, married to an active duty Air Force man, but just having a hard time having her babies😢 It’s just evil to try and make women feel some kind of way because they don’t have children🤬
Your daughter sounds like an amazingly strong role model for anyone, especiallygirls and women. I bet you helped with that!! Thank you Both for your service 🙏🏼 ♀️
I still can't get over that one...where did this guy come from, because that stuff ain't pretty, and demoralizes children.. Plus this is a crime that has led to deaths, of the women and the children and some police that answer the calls, it's called Domestic Violence j d.🗽🗳🇺🇸
Have you guys thought about the possibility of this guy becoming president!!! You guys better vote like your lives depending on it! The world is counting on you!!!
The CHILDREN don't want to stay in that situation. Many grow up wishing their moms could have gotten out and taken them away too. NO ONE should be in that situation. No man should be abusing his wife and/or kids. (Of course real men don't; it's the un-evolved immature males that do.)

That Child already finished high school and ready to join the Marines, my husband did passed away but happy to have saved the last Child.
My Aunt Cindy lived to be 84, never married, nor had children. She always had folks showing up throughout the week and every Sunday for dinner. They came because of the love and support she provided to everyone throughout her lifetime.
My Great Aunt was 101. Never married & childless. She did teach Spanish, choir in school and church, taught piano, played the organ. She also traveled to Europe to play in cathedrals without being escorted by a man.
You are amazing! And I applaud women that for any reason they decide not to have kids, better than those that just have kids and don't take care of them
@@RUTHLESSambition5 She probably has friends. And family.

Beautiful words spoken …….As a childless mother, I have 3 undergraduate degrees, an MBA and now I’m 97% closer to earning my doctorate degree. Additionally, I retired from the military after 24 years on active duty. I’m a Wife, Stepmother, Godmother, Aunt and Veteran. I use to think that being a biological mother defined my worth as a woman BUT it does NOT! What defines me are my values, my actions towards raising and mentoring children who view me as a role model, supporter or mother figure….most importantly what defines me is my faith-please vote!
I learned (the hard way) this year that as a childless woman I had a greater risk of endometrial and uterine cancers. No doctor had ever told me that - so if you're in that group, please be aware of and follow up immediately if your body behaves abnormally. You know your body - listen to it! - Childless but adoptive Mom and Dog Lady; We're NOT going back!
Amen to that Tracee Ellis Ross..I'm childless and I am An Amazing Godmother..Auntie..Friend..I work in the nursery at church..and in the youth ministry..my life is dedicated to helping push humanity forward❤
I'm a 73 yr old woman who couldn't have children, but raised my nieces and my stepdaughter. Not having children of my own allowed me to make a difference in 100s of animals lives. I worked for veterinarians for years before starting my own business of grooming and training dogs, as well as therapy dogs for hospitals and nursing homes. I had time to volunteer at the shelter and rescue groups. Personally I feel like not having children, but instead spending the majority of my time with animals was what I was meant to do, since I definitely felt complete and satisfied with my life. 😊

I know about his background told to me about someone who lived in Ohio. The drug addiction part is true and it sounds like his father wasn't around.

I love this. I stand by my darling bride who adopted my son when he was 10 years old he is now 13, and he has always been his mommy's boy he loves her beyond measure. My wife doesn't want to have a child by birth, so I had a vasectomy to be respectful and responsible for my family's future growth. I'm done having kids myself. I have plenty of kids all over the place. I also pay child support. Every lady's worth is by character alone. I hate how the Republicans have been pushing this line for far too long it needs to end by us voting them out all over the nation.
Thank-you for your comment. Your wife and the family you have sound amazing. Thank-you for being man enough to respect her choice not to have children.
@karenmonson9893 In my wife's first marriage, her abusive husband caused her to have a miscarriage afterward she went through a dark time in her life, yet we were best friends who fell head over heels for each other we have been together for 10 years strong now and we adore each other she has been the only mother my son has ever known thankgoodness and she has my upmost respect and loyalty. We saved each other, and thanks to God, we have made it a safe journey through life. My fear is that after reading Project 2025, no lady or young girl will be safe from the vile right-wing extremeist republican party who seeks to dominate women through the medical services they need to protect themselves from rapists, molesters,etc. If the republican party wins, that means the true death of the United States of America and our constitution and Bill of Rights. Trump will destroy every safe guard to our republic with the wheel of abuse. We must come together to protect the future of our daughters,mothers, and sisters. We must stop the future Handmaidens Tale before it comes to pass. Lastly, thank you for your kind comment. I appreciate you taking the time to do so....
@karened2378 Other than breastfeeding, (which not everyone who's given birth can do), the other aspects of child-rearing which we commonly consider mothering don't require specific genitalia. So, single fathers, for example, often adopt mom and dad roles similarly to what single mothers may do. Edit to add: Beyond immediate family, we may all participate in the elevation of cultures and pushing humanity forward that Tracee mentions here.
Yes shout out to all amazing moms. I take nothing away from that hard work. As a woman who does not have children, I measure my worth in the way I treat people, and my Christian faith and practices. Also being born into poverty and working to get not only an Undergraduate Degree but a Masters Degree and good job makes me humble. I was given nothing in life that I did not work for. So I don’t need children to make me humble. And btw, even though I don’t have children, my taxes go to schools and other education programs to help children. I pay lots in tax money since I don’t have children to deduct. So really I contribute a lot to my state and country and will not be treated as less than!
Amen! Don’t let the cruel rhetoric and lies distort what woman all know about each other…. We DON’T need to give birth to have value or impact. Vote blue❤
Yes. I am 48 years old I am not married and I have no children. And I have three nieces and nephews that I've taken care of. They mean the world to me and I mean the world to them.
Wow, I never knew such deep empathetic words of wisdom could come from Tracee ER mouth like the ones spoken here. A quote to go down in feminist history.
Yes, Tracie. Speak on it. As a mother of 4, I approve of this message. I love my babies, period. I have dreams of opening businesses for young girls in my neighborhood. I have to put all my dreams aside until they reach a certain age. Women voices need to be heard more and louder.
Every REAL woman feels this way. I am a single mother of four. My community of women stepped up and loved my beautiful children and helped raise them too. Daycare workers, teachers, friends, sisters, co-workers and other mothers. We are not in competition with one another but rather celebrate the choices we all make as individuals. At least, real women do.
So well said. Thank God for this moment. Victory is ours because we are fighting on the side of humanity and God who in his infinite mercies created variations, varieties of every specie on earth, so cherished and blessed in his eyes. Harris/Walz campaign for a better united society will prevail!
There are so many of us out there in the world that were not blessed to carry children. Yet we have taken so many motherless children into our houses and homes into our lives to nurture them. May Yehovah bless all of you who have grieved for the children that were lost to you through trauma, womb or fertility problems etcetera! Halle,!!😇😇
I'm a mother of two daughters but I'm a woman first. Having babies does NOT define your level of womanhood. We are in this together when it comes to raising and nurturing children. God bless you all!!!
I had two aunts who were childless while I was growing up. Those women traveled the world and brought me back some of the most beautiful culture that I will never be able to experience myself. I have beautiful Japanese pajamas and amazing African statues. One of them was an assistant to the Attorney General back in the late 80's. She was a boss!!!! Those women inspired me in ways that my mother couldn't.

I am a 55 year old woman that has raised 3 childern who are now productive adults. I also now have 3 grandsons. I did not give birth to any of the kids I raised.
Awesome!🎉🎉❤❤
Awesome ❤
Awesome for the children, too! Thank you! ♡♡♡
💜💙💜💙
Congratulations!! Thanks for your attention to these kids. I wonder if JD would have a problem with you or not, and I also found it interesting that he had nothing to say about men with no children.
Thank you for saying this. Yes I'm 54 and childless due circumstances and I help a lot of people in my coaching biz. I live my purpose and live happily. I don't have to have kids to be whole. ❤️🙏
"you don't have to push out a baby, to help push humanity forward"
💯💯💯
Yes maam, put this in writing !!!
I concur. Giving birth does not validate your self worth as a woman, neither does marriage. There are many childless women who have made significant contributions to elevate society.
Studies show women over the age of 55 who have never married and have never had children are the healthiest and happiest people. I believe it. I’m one of them.
Intelligent women know there’s more to life than serving a man your entire life and making sure his needs are met. It’s so good to have a choice. Find what makes you happy and do that.
I’m 63 and never married. I had a boyfriend and the first time he punched me, I walked. He’s been rotting away in prison for some time. And I’m living my life by MY leave, and not anybody else’s.
The Lord Jesus Christ Is The Answer
He Is Available. I humbly request we find Him, now
AMEN
@@christopheromoifo1526 Go ahead and do you. I’ll continue doing me. And if you need Jesus so bad, it makes me wonder what your life is missing. Indoctrination can be voided. It’s up to you.
Some of those childless women are married to men who can’t impregnate them; DOES THAT MAKE THE WORTHLESS, EVEN THOUGH, THAT COUPLE WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO BIRTH THEIR OWN CHILD? WHAT A SHAME THE GOP HAS LOST ALL THEIR BRAINS SINCE DANCY & FRUMPY CAME ALONG!!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
@@jryland6 And it’s usually the man who has the infertility problem. But for millennia it’s women who’ve borne the brunt of shame for this.
Thank u Tracy Ellis Rose. ...We Love u my beautiful sister ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙.
I don't want to be a mother but love supporting my friends who have children.
Most families need support and a network these days and I couldn't do it if I had children on my own.
I work in child protection and I don't think I'd have the nerve to do my job if I had children at home....
So I agree 100%
I love childless men and women, the same way I love mothers and fathers with kids. No difference
Having children is such a personal choice. We are healthier when people who aren't interested in parenting, don't.
@@anonymoose116It's about choice too and doing what is right individually. We also need to remember there are people who for medical reasons are unable to have children and that they make their contributions to society in other ways.
@karenmonson9893 I'm specifically talking about people who choose to not have children.
Those that can't but want them: there's 400k kids in foster care waiting to be loved.
@karenmonson9893 Absolutely!! There are women who are not able to have children & some may choose not to which fine. And honestly, it's no one's business. Some adopt, foster, or just help care for other children. A woman's worth is not about if she has children at all. 😊 And unfortunately not everyone makes a good mother some really don't deserve children either.
@@anonymoose116huh??
Girl I’m mothering at my store trying to uplift the younger generation. It’s in our souls, to nurture and teach. Women are a necessity and invaluable.
Amen Tracy... do you hone. You're amazing.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
I'm 62, childless and I'm told by my nieces and nephew that I am terrific.
You are Terrific ❤
@theresagriffin9424 - I'm 57, I've birthed a child. However, I am also a step-mother, Auntie and God-mother. Honestly, I couldn't love those nieces, nephews and God children any more, even if I had birthed them. I believe this is probably true for many other aunties, step-moms and God mothers . We are nurturing these kiddos whether we birthed them or not and that's what counts. We won't let the tactics of those lunatics divide us as women. We are each moving humanity forward in a positive direction. ❤❤
😘
Aunts are the favourite next to grand parents. Your nieces and nephews are lucky to have you. I am also in my 40s with few nieces and nephews but I am really sad that I don’t have kids of my own
My niece said I'm her best friend ❤ I almost cried, even though I know someone else will be her best friend next month LOL (toddler). But hey I'm up there!
I chose not to have children, and I don't regret it. I knew I wouldn't be a good mother, and I didn't want to be one. I am many other things to many people and animals. Kudos to all the great mothers out there, and Kudos to all the women without children. We are all on this earth for a reason, and we all have importance and worth.
💯‼️
AMEN!!! ❤
❤ Thank you for being intentional...No one knows you better than you.
Right on ✌️
Society chose for you biggun

Vote blue 💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙up and down the ballot. Definitely vote for Harris/Walz2024
yup up and down that ballot, that's what we need to really win.
As a mother to a 33-year-old daughter that has had about at least 3 miscarriages, it’s sickening to hear someone say such madness. My daughter is a beautiful, strong, Air Force veteran, married to an active duty Air Force man, but just having a hard time having her babies😢 It’s just evil to try and make women feel some kind of way because they don’t have children🤬
Your daughter sounds like an amazingly strong role model for anyone, especiallygirls and women. I bet you helped with that!! Thank you Both for your service 🙏🏼 ♀️
It's the cruelty that is sickening and seems inherent in these people 😢
Even if women have children, they are still discriminated against AND abused!!!!
I started being a caregiver at 10 years old.
CHILDREN COME FROM GOD IN JESUS NAME. I PRAY THE LORD HIMSELF SIT YOUR DAUGHTER DOWN AND HAVE HER READ THE STORY OF HANNAH, SAMUEL MOTHER,
JD Vance also says that women who are beaten and abused by their husbands must stay with them for the sake of their children. The guy is a monster.
I still can't get over that one...where did this guy come from, because that stuff ain't pretty, and demoralizes children..
Plus this is a crime that has led to deaths, of the women and the children and some police that answer the calls, it's called Domestic Violence j d.🗽🗳🇺🇸
Have you guys thought about the possibility of this guy becoming president!!! You guys better vote like your lives depending on it! The world is counting on you!!!
Definitely a monster 👺
My daughter came to me when she was 16 and stated, “ Mother, we need a divorce!”. Sounds like she made her decision ❤😂
The CHILDREN don't want to stay in that situation. Many grow up wishing their moms could have gotten out and taken them away too.
NO ONE should be in that situation.
No man should be abusing his wife and/or kids.
(Of course real men don't; it's the un-evolved immature males that do.)
My sister has no children and she’s one of the best women I know! She is an incredible force on this Earth
I am a 59 year old childless black woman here in Florida… I have assisted in raising MANY and as a nurse, I have cared for MANY MANY more… and purposely signed up during COVID to work 7 days a week caring for hundreds … so do not diminish our WORTH @JDVance
As a 49 childless woman also living in Florida, I thank you for all that you have done and continue to do!
Sending love!

Thanks sis ❤
Thank you sis! Even though you didn’t give birth, you are still a MOTHER to MANY! Thank you for BEING the village!❤
That's right . Thank you sis for showing so much compassion towards others💕
Thank you and all the nurses

As a 55 year old childless cat dad who has never before voted a straight party ticket, I agree entirely.
That is the absolute truth for childless woman! ❤
Thank you TER ❤ I couldn’t possibly have said it better myself as truer words have never been spoken.
The thing is she just spoke common sense 💙💙💙
Men say really stupid things when they believe they are ABOVE women. Sorry for his wife. I am so happy we continue to keep this comment in the forefront and will continue to lift women up not put them down. NEVER GOING BACK!!!💙🗣️
His wife should be absolutely Embarrassed. She should have divorced him already. He disrespects everything her and her parents are.
He even disrespects his children. This man is a horrible human and should not be in this position. Full stop!
His wife feels the same way otherwise she would have left.
@@brads0107ableexactly. With his anti-immigrant stance it’s like he forgot that his wife’s parents are immigrants. 🤦♂️
Do not sympathize with his wife, usha. She knows exactly who she married. She also worked for scotus' Kavanaugh! So yeah, she knows exactly what she's doing. Sympathize with America for having to put up with her husband 🤢 and #45 🤮 That's where your sympathy needs to go. Vote Blue 💙 ⬆️ ⬇️ 🗽⚖️♀️🌊
All of this is excellent.
See you ladies at the polls!!
After vote parties are in!
Kamala wins there r going to be so many parties.
Not because you can means you should, shout out to all the responsible people who knew being a parent was not for them and took steps to prevent it.
"You don't need to pushed out a baby to help push humanity forward. "
That is the greatest line and should be new slogan I have ever heard on this subject. "
I know people who had so many kids they don't know their grandkids
It's kind of backwards. Quality not quanity
Strong statement 💪 Sad that thw beautiful lady have to remind society about this. As a MAN, I had some of the strongest women guiding me in life, that were never married or never mothered a child. Strong message 💪
Thank you for supporting women! ❤
Same here! Right on!

I'm a former Republican, and a woman. Country over Party. All WOMEN MATTER!! HARRIS/WALZ 2024!!
I suggest you get out more and see what biden/harris have done to your country
A great decision - thank you!
Keep gently spreading awareness that other republicans arent seeing on Fox
@@robertgrimshaw9036 did they enslave people and create laws to keep those people and their descendants at a disadvantage? Did they unalive and steal from people all around the world then remove history books that taught children the truth? Did they take away women’s rights and try to force them to produce children to be future factory workers?
@@robertgrimshaw9036Yeah . See those beautiful roads and bridges from Bidens term and, how everybody is driving those newer expensive trucks,and cars,and paying for take out food deliveries, and their big screen TV's,and all kinds expensive electronics so everyone in the family can have one. Our economy is good, unemployment is good and just today the stock market soared higher. So who you think you're fooling?
My husband and I ADOPTED our Children, the last one was a little boy, my husband adore that child, a took us a court trial to be able to adopt this Child because my husband had Cancer. That Child already finished high school and ready to join the Marines, my husband did passed away but happy to have saved the last Child.
My Aunt Cindy lived to be 84, never married, nor had children. She always had folks showing up throughout the week and every Sunday for dinner. They came because of the love and support she provided to everyone throughout her lifetime.
My Great Aunt was 101. Never married & childless. She did teach Spanish, choir in school and church, taught piano, played the organ. She also traveled to Europe to play in cathedrals without being escorted by a man.
She's a sweetheart ❤
I am a 60 year old, childless Dog & Bird Mom who has helped 598 Babies enter the World as a Midwife.
Wow that’s amazing ❤
You are amazing! And I applaud women that for any reason they decide not to have kids, better than those that just have kids and don't take care of them
❤❤❤
Don't you feel alone???
@@RUTHLESSambition5 She probably has friends. And family. My aunt is childless and not married and 55; but she has 6 siblings, 11 aunts and uncles, 2 parents, and I don’t remember how many grandchildren there are off the top of my head lmao but she has us too!! She’s the best aunt ever!! And she has super close friends from childhood and law school that she still keeps in touch with and hangs out with. And she goes to church and has friends from church. And she always volunteers. She just doesn’t have kids of her own is all. But I feel so lucky to have such an awesome, amazing auntie. She even made me gluten free beef meatballs from scratch even though she only eats fish and chicken!! lol they were so good. I love her ❤
Go ahead, Sister Ross! 🎉❤
YES!!! I am a mother of 2 and incredibly thankful for the "childless women" who have mothered me, my children, and our communities.
Bravo!
Thank you. Dianna must be so proud!
50 year old childless woman here, AMEN TO THAT!! Thank you Miss Tracee Ellis Ross❤ My nieces and nephew are my kids! I helped raised them. Also, I've been blessed to help many. many single mothers WITH kids!
Yes.☀️
I prefer to think of as child-free women, rather than child-less. A choice, rather than a loss of an assumed given.
It's not the same.
@@straightoutofstrat8722 It doesn't have to be. The fact that we ACCEPT responsibility for children we don't HAVE to and positively nurture them is a selfless, humanitarian, rewarding sacrifice.(and everyone benefits)☀️
@@misslauraj2756 Thank you. On behalf of my child-free sister, cousins, and friends who love and have supported me in raising my kids, many many thanks! ♥️☀️♥️
Ms. Ross is a true Boss. That is Tracie Ross❤
Beautiful words spoken …….As a childless mother, I have 3 undergraduate degrees, an MBA and now I’m 97% closer to earning my doctorate degree. Additionally, I retired from the military after 24 years on active duty. I’m a Wife, Stepmother, Godmother, Aunt and Veteran. I use to think that being a biological mother defined my worth as a woman BUT it does NOT! What defines me are my values, my actions towards raising and mentoring children who view me as a role model, supporter or mother figure….most importantly what defines me is my faith-please vote!
Awesome lady ❤🎉
I am finally NOT apologising for not having children. Thankyou Tracey 🎉
❤❤❤
You should never have had to apologize.
You should never have to apologize or justify not having or wanting children.
I learned (the hard way) this year that as a childless woman I had a greater risk of endometrial and uterine cancers. No doctor had ever told me that - so if you're in that group, please be aware of and follow up immediately if your body behaves abnormally. You know your body - listen to it!
- Childless but adoptive Mom and Dog Lady; We're NOT going back!
Childless woman here voting for Harris Walz!!
Amen to that Tracee Ellis Ross..I'm childless and I am An Amazing Godmother..Auntie..Friend..I work in the nursery at church..and in the youth ministry..my life is dedicated to helping push humanity forward❤
I love being a childless woman and the best auntie ever!!
I'm a 73 yr old woman who couldn't have children, but raised my nieces and my stepdaughter. Not having children of my own allowed me to make a difference in 100s of animals lives. I worked for veterinarians for years before starting my own business of grooming and training dogs, as well as therapy dogs for hospitals and nursing homes. I had time to volunteer at the shelter and rescue groups. Personally I feel like not having children, but instead spending the majority of my time with animals was what I was meant to do, since I definitely felt complete and satisfied with my life. 😊
This is beautiful. Thank you for answering your call. ❤
When we are complete and satisfied with our lives... that's all that matters. Blessings upon you!
Beautifully said💕💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I am a psychologist and a childless woman who works in educational institutions guiding, helping, educating the entire educational community and I have never felt undervalued as a person being that I know that I give all my knowledge and love to all my students, parents and teachers to improve their lives
Thank you and you are loved ❤

JD Vance mother pushed him out of her lady parts and look how he turned up 😂
He definitely has some deeply rooted 'mommy issues'. 😂
I think they kept the placenta and threw the baby away by mistake.😃
And if her addiction issues started before or around the time he was conceived, then he was most likely and _accident._ 😒😒😒
If "Mommy issues" were a person it would be JD Vance 😬
I know about his background told to me about someone who lived in Ohio. The drug addiction part is true and it sounds like his father wasn't around. He also went into the service and took advantage of the G.I. college incentive. I understand a little better why he is the way he is. Saying that I don't think he's a good candidate to run for office especially on the presidential ticket..
🙏 AMEN !!!!!

@@Beth-ds3mj indeed! I appreciate that perspective!
I love this. I stand by my darling bride who adopted my son when he was 10 years old he is now 13, and he has always been his mommy's boy he loves her beyond measure. My wife doesn't want to have a child by birth, so I had a vasectomy to be respectful and responsible for my family's future growth. I'm done having kids myself. I have plenty of kids all over the place. I also pay child support. Every lady's worth is by character alone. I hate how the Republicans have been pushing this line for far too long it needs to end by us voting them out all over the nation.
You sound like a prize, good sir.
A genuine prize. ❤
@patth7582 Thank you for your kindness.
Thank-you for your comment. Your wife and the family you have sound amazing. Thank-you for being man enough to respect her choice not to have children.
@karenmonson9893 In my wife's first marriage, her abusive husband caused her to have a miscarriage afterward she went through a dark time in her life, yet we were best friends who fell head over heels for each other we have been together for 10 years strong now and we adore each other she has been the only mother my son has ever known thankgoodness and she has my upmost respect and loyalty. We saved each other, and thanks to God, we have made it a safe journey through life. My fear is that after reading Project 2025, no lady or young girl will be safe from the vile right-wing extremeist republican party who seeks to dominate women through the medical services they need to protect themselves from rapists, molesters,etc. If the republican party wins, that means the true death of the United States of America and our constitution and Bill of Rights. Trump will destroy every safe guard to our republic with the wheel of abuse. We must come together to protect the future of our daughters,mothers, and sisters. We must stop the future Handmaidens Tale before it comes to pass. Lastly, thank you for your kind comment. I appreciate you taking the time to do so....
I'm great at taking care of other people's children. 😂 Then I go home and enjoy my own peace
🙏Yes! Plus, not only women participate in "mothering."
Not on this planet.
I’d choose my female mother’s brand of mothering over my father any day of the week.
You lost me on this one? Who besides women, mother.
@karened2378 Other than breastfeeding, (which not everyone who's given birth can do), the other aspects of child-rearing which we commonly consider mothering don't require specific genitalia. So, single fathers, for example, often adopt mom and dad roles similarly to what single mothers may do. Edit to add: Beyond immediate family, we may all participate in the elevation of cultures and pushing humanity forward that Tracee mentions here.
@@karened2378DADS!!!!!!! There are so many single DADS!!!!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I'm 68 with No children. But I'm a Cat Mom of 2.
Yes shout out to all amazing moms. I take nothing away from that hard work.
As a woman who does not have children, I measure my worth in the way I treat people, and my Christian faith and practices. Also being born into poverty and working to get not only an Undergraduate Degree but a Masters Degree and good job makes me humble. I was given nothing in life that I did not work for. So I don’t need children to make me humble.
And btw, even though I don’t have children, my taxes go to schools and other education programs to help children. I pay lots in tax money since I don’t have children to deduct. So really I contribute a lot to my state and country and will not be treated as less than!

Wow, I never knew such deep empathetic words of wisdom could come from Tracee ER mouth like the ones spoken here. A quote to go down in feminist history.
Yes, Tracie. Speak on it. As a mother of 4, I approve of this message. I love my babies, period. I have dreams of opening businesses for young girls in my neighborhood. I have to put all my dreams aside until they reach a certain age. Women voices need to be heard more and louder.
Beautifully said Ms. Tracee❤❤
Amen to that, indeed.🙏
I have had about many childless women who donate all their wealth to programs that benefit children like child cancer and much more
Every REAL woman feels this way. I am a single mother of four. My community of women stepped up and loved my beautiful children and helped raise them too. Daycare workers, teachers, friends, sisters, co-workers and other mothers. We are not in competition with one another but rather celebrate the choices we all make as individuals.

There are so many of us out there in the world that were not blessed to carry children. Yet we have taken so many motherless children into our houses and homes into our lives to nurture them. May Yehovah bless all of you who have grieved for the children that were lost to you through trauma, womb or fertility problems etcetera! Halle,!!😇😇
I'm a mother of two daughters but I'm a woman first. Having babies does NOT define your level of womanhood. We are in this together when it comes to raising and nurturing children. God bless you all!!!
I had two aunts who were childless while I was growing up. Those women traveled the world and brought me back some of the most beautiful culture that I will never be able to experience myself. I have beautiful Japanese pajamas and amazing African statues. One of them was an assistant to the Attorney General back in the late 80's. She was a boss!!!! Those women inspired me in ways that my mother couldn't.
