A woman says she decided to remain childfree for life aged 16 when she worked as a babysitter and realised "I never want to do this for free".

Tera Chantelle, 29, says instead she chooses to be her "own main character" - and people brand her selfish.

But she believes that there are more forms of "love and happiness" than getting married and having children.

Now, working as a self-employed author, Tera enjoys lie-ins, trips abroad and working on her books - something she says she wouldn't be able to do so frequently if she had children.
