近年来激烈的社会竞争与崇尚个人空间的观念使得不少年轻人选择了丁克生活。然而随着年龄的增长和经济条件的好转,在父母的催促及传统观念的压力下,一些丁克族决定不再丁克,要一个自己的孩子,这部分人就是悔丁族。
DINK exit clan are those who opt out of their earlier decision for a DINK (dual income no kids) family and decide to start a family. However, as many of them are well beyond their prime reproductive age, getting pregnant can be really painful.
悔丁族,顾名思义,就是随着年龄增长后悔做“丁克”、想要孩子的那一群人。但是她们因为之前的“丁克”决定而错过了最佳生育年龄,所以不得不踏上艰辛的备孕之路。
近年来,一些年轻“丁克”夫妻一方面不愿养育子女,而另一方面又想享受为人父母的温馨与乐趣,于是纷纷养起了宠物,这些家庭被人们称为DINK-pet families(丁宠家庭)。
An "opposite" term of DINK, mainly intended as a joke, is SITCOM: Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage.
有些人开玩笑地造出了一个DINK的反义词SITCOM,表示单收入、有两个孩子及沉重房贷负担的家庭。
