A millennial woman says she's not planning to have kids because she's "selfish" - and they're messy, expensive and she hates their TV shows. Lorella Palmer, 22, says she is worried about the state of the world.
She says she also wants to focus on growing her two businesses - which means she wouldn't have the capacity to give the kids the attention they needed. Lorella, from Erith, south-east London, has been with her boyfriend, Callum Page, 23, for four-and-a-half years.
She says he is supportive of her decision not to have children - and added that she is tired of mums who criticise her choice. Her comments come after the latest census for England and Wales shows the number of under fives fell by 7.6 per cent between 2011 and 2021.
