I didn't mean to suggest that choosing not to have kids is insignificant, it's just that it's not something that has a definite time and place, like having a kid. You have to announce that, because it's going to happen and people are going to notice! Deciding not to have kids can definitely be an event - a final decision, making peace with it, etc. It's just that it usually is something that just....happens (or doesn't happen) and you don't have to make an announcement or something about it if you don't want to notify your folks and make a big deal out of it.
