DoisBigo OP ,

What that has to do with being child free?

Lamy ,

It’s the world the next generation is inheriting

XTL ,

That wasn’t really in the question :)

    Love it! I’m currently traveling and don’t have my laptop at hand (hence also the slow response time), but I’ll implement it as soon as possible!

    Thank you for sharing your story! I have known i did not want kids since I was 14. I am 44 now and I don’t regret it at all. My mom left me with my sister when she was a baby and I hated it. I didn’t hate my sister I just was not and am still not comfortable with babies.I am the opposite as I do not and never did get that oxytocin feeling from babies. I am okay with toddlers and am much better with older kids but babies are a no go for me.

    Either way, I can barely look after myself, I don’t need to bring another being into this world to suffer along side me. I respect and am happy for the people in my life that have started families but also confident and happy with my choice not too.

    I am glad that people are becoming more accepting of peoples choices in this matter as I was really getting tired of the oh you will change your mind when you are older speech. I’m older now, still haven’t changed my mind.

    Enjoy you pets! They need loving homes too!

    I have family and friends with kids. I would never go through that anguish day by day. I love peace of mind and naps, and will probably save millions. It is selfish to create wage slaves for rich capitalist

    I’m glad you met someone who was supportive of your life choices. I do the same for anyone who is on the fence. It’s an extremely personal choice and no one should be lauded or derided for either decision.

    I have kids. Love ‘‘em to death. But, damn, not everyone needs to be a parent. My wife and I would’ve been fine not having kids. It just turned out to be something we both wanted.

    It’s a shame that other parents try and pressure others into a life changing decision. Be you and be happy!

    Rokk ,

    I think if you have something that you really enjoy and think is amazing it’s sometimes hard to see how that might not be for everyone.

    thegreatgarbo OP ,

    Right? I’ve met a few folks over the years when I was of child bearing where they didn’t push any agendas and it’s always refreshing.

    Funny thing about oxytocin, it’s directly responsible for a great deal of human atrocity.

    thegreatgarbo OP ,

    Wow! Interesting. Also makes sense in the context of fostering the evolutionary adapted benefit of the mother forming an ‘in group’ bond with her baby.

    query , in Welcome, reddit refugees!

    I think this needs to be redone as just childfree. The name of it now seems to be [email protected] which means that clicking on the name leads to a non-existent /c/childfree.

    Yep, I’m on it :)
