No i’m saying it might not be the fact that they are child free per se, but might just be that child free women are mentally ill and incapable of forming families and so of course they would be unsatisfied.
wow dis some sexist shit right here. Y u trolling yo, you just trying to get a rise out of people here?
We don’t hate moms here dude, we’re pro woman, whatever a woman wants to do she should feel empowered to do so, unlike your sexist meme that says they should do one thing or another.
If a woman wants to fuck her bald divorced boss for a raise instead of raising beautiful children of course she may. However; according to this graph she will have less satisfaction. I am very pro woman. Getting them pregnant is one of my favorite hobbies.
Listen here fella, I own 3 restaurants and a gas station. I am a multimillionaire. I have been with hundreds of women. You should learn from me instead of being jealous.
Hate to break it to you, but making any friends in/past your 30s is very difficult. But I do get your point that choosing childless makes it even more difficult. I’m lucky enough to have had a couple of close friends who chose to remain childless before I had kids, and we are still close. But we would have remained close in any case.
I’m in my 50s now, and maybe I’m an asshole, but the last time I made a new friend (a real friend, not acquaintance) I was in my early 40s, and that friendship did not survive me moving an ocean away, to my great sadness. This happened with me several times starting in my early 30s, but I’ve moved continents three times, so mostly my fault.
Alow me an observation from the other side. I am a parent and I'm friends with two childfree couples (as well as with several other couples that don't have children now but plan them in the future). I meet my childfree friends when I have someone to babysit, so I have a free evening for them. Sometimes we spend holidays together and on those occasions they don't mind the children. In general, they choose the activities they want to participate in with me and it doesn't influence our friendship at all. In the end, I think it's about mutual respect (and finding people that are capable of it).
yeah, it’s more about finding open minded people with empathy (and be open minded and empathic ourself) more than finding people just like us. Embracing differences, respecting and understanding eachother is key. There are plenty of people out there who keep their kids to themself and have plenty of other interests, it’s easier to meet them if we don’t push them away in the first place (just like they don’t push us way fro being child free).
kids only benefit corps: they want human labor, they can create gmo kids and raise them on their expense, else a baby trashes his mother’s body, and a financial burden for the dad only to benefit corps. also noisy and uncontrollable, and personally i hate when things are out of my control.
I actually got more involved with the kink community events. People who have healthy sex lives often don’t have children, because they want to keep things spicy. Yeah, there’s a good handful of parents, but these are the people that realize that children can interfere with living, and they’ve all been super respectful (or openly envious) of my childfree choice. Getting my fallopian tubes yeeted was the best decision ever.
Table top RPGS, board games, poker/card game groups, baking, cycling, volunteering at an org you feel strongly about, trail building to add to the list. As mad as I am at Reddit this would be the perfect thing to scour your local subreddit for groups for.
child free adult here: we are few, but we exist. personally i don’t expect friendship from people with children, or it would be as shallow as heck. lonely? i agree. but thats the price to be paid for not being part of the crowd.
This worked for me. I joined a meetup board gaming group and became close friends with the host. We were both single at the time, now we are both in relationships and child free and regularly get together to play games. It's been great.
Just got laid off from work. I’d be fucked if I had kids to feed now. Luckily I don’t and also enough savings to live off for two years if I had to. This is exactly the kind of stuff I don’t want that responsibility for.
Oh I’ll be fine. I’m a union member so my finances are covered no matter if I find a new job or not. I might even start my own company now that I have a good chance.
What did you hope to accomplish, publishing this comment in a community explicitly for child-free people? Did you think I was going to have a come to Jesus moment and turn my life around and become a parent because you posted this?
I’m can usually have 2-3 drinks and be fine… but if I get caught up with friends and go over that, yeah I sleep like absolute shit. I won’t even be hung over (I drink a ton of water, hydrate while consuming alcohol!!) but I still sleep awful.
