ABSTRACT
The childfree phenomenon has become a popular issue in Indonesia recently. Many articles and media
content address the topic of being childfree, including the eighth episode of the YouTube account Cretivox.
This episode features two married couples with differing perspectives on having children. The purpose of
this study is to explore the differences in perspectives on children in the household from the viewpoints of
childfree couples and young parents, analyzed through a postmodern family approach. This research
employs a qualitative approach and a descriptive method. Data collection involves documents from the
Cretivox YouTube account and relevant journal articles. The results indicate that out of five questions posed,
four reveal differing views: preparation before marriage, popular statements about children, the urgency of
having offspring, and household harmony. For the question regarding children guaranteeing support in old
age, both couples agreed to disagree with the statement.
