Let’s face it, the norm still today is becoming a parent, so if you choose to not do so you’re likely to be asked about your reasons and you may have an opportunity to share some of the positives in this life decision. Let’s take a look at a few.

I don't have a rule nor books in which I could study where to put the negative word "NOT" in its position, but I guess that the underlined word "NOT" isn’t in the right order. I am not saying that "NOT" in the original text is wrong, but I think it is clumsy.

I would write – "Choose not to do so."


Thank you.
