I've noticed on this particular section of the board that there's a lot of focus on kids - trying to have one, losing one, having them as babies, toddlers, teenagers., etc., etc. With the greatest of respect, I also notice that there's not a lot mentioned about people who are child free by choice and in a relationship or married or not,

Surely that's just logical. Its a section of the board which attracts parents. If people want something they will talk about it far more, discuss how to get it, what to do with it when it's here, talk about their experiences with it. If you don't want children, you might talk about now wanting them but what else is there to say?

I don't think there's anything wrong with not wanting children, just fully understand why there are more topics about HAVING rather than NOT HAVING them

Child free by choice here. Contraceptive pill from 19 to 37, then sterilised, and that is about as close to 100% effective as you can get it. I always knew I didn't want to have children. I must say, it's saved me loads of money )

Been child free since DS decided he wasn't interested in visiting any more :wave: (still living with ex). Been married to Sleazy OH for 10 years now who's never had children and doesn't want them either. :j The cat is enough trouble, and I wouldn't choose to have children again.

Ohhhh to be CFC

I miss my weekend lay ins, last minute nights out, shopping trips without having to buy anything child related. I hate having to drag myself out of bed at half 7 on a Sunday because DS needs a hit of bloody sugar puffs and Ben 10. I hate having to write out 30 xmas cards to kids in his class I've never even seen. I hate opening his school bag to find yet another party invite which means I've got to buy yet another present for a kid I don't even know the name of. I hate having to make outfits they have to wear for random days at the school that I also have the pleasure of donating a quid to! Stop asking me to help out at your bake sale/ crappy second hand toy sale. I am not interested!

And breath

CFC I'm jealous of you all!

Yeah, this gets annoying.

I don't believe for a minute you actually hate having children, if you do please contact social services.

And the idea that people without children are all just leading carefree lives of shopping, nights out and lie-ins. Jeez.

There are. You just need to think outside the box.


If you see what I mean.
