Based on changes in the family and its values in metropolitan cities in recent years, we have witnessed many developments in fertility. The developments that have occurred in the field of family and reproductive behavior indicate that deep and ontological changes have occurred in the mind, that is, the context of meaning formation, the practical result of which is childless and single-child couples in today's society. The present study was conducted with the aim of understanding the introspection of childless and single-child couples living in Isfahan about their fears in facing responsibility in relation to children. Using a qualitative method and an interpretive approach and theoretical sampling, 30 in-depth interviews were conducted, including 15 interviews with childless couples who had been married for at least 3 years and 15 interviews with single-child couples who had voluntarily decided to be childless and have only one child. The core category of the research was titled “de-childing responsibility” and its central phenomenon was titled “reinterpretation of the meaning of child.” The feeling of responsibility towards children is one of the important concerns that can affect couples’ decisions to have children, and evidence suggests that at least one of the reasons for the intention to be childless or have few children for a group of parents was considerations related to the responsibilities of parenting and how to play the role of parenting. This process has reinterpreted the meaning of a child in them and has questioned the retrospective meaning of a child that was associated with a duty and a matter based on forced choice.
