What psychologists say
By the way, according to a study by Michigan State University, the public’s reaction to Chelsea Handler’s joke is quite predictable. During the study, researchers found that childless individuals are much warmer and more understanding towards those who have children than vice versa. However, the authors did not find any differences in terms of happiness and life satisfaction between members of both groups.
The stand-up comedian hasn’t changed her worldview even after facing such a backlash. But she tried to smooth things over. Handler says that she is surrounded by her numerous nieces and nephews. Despite her unconditional love for them, she has decided that motherhood is not for her. This is not because motherhood is a bad thing, but because everyone has their own path. When we choose what is right for ourselves, we must understand that we have the strength to overcome any barriers or criticism to our desires.
