Welcome to Childfree!

[wolfpurplemoon]

Introduce yourself here - I'm a 32 year old British cis woman in a long term relationship and am steadfastly childfree and have no plans to ever change my mind on that!

I'd love to see posts about your experiences as a childfree person, how you deal with the inevitable bingoes (especially if you are married/in a LTR) and any rants and raves you have about negotiating a world that seems to worship pregnancy and parenthood. Hey even let us know all the fun things you get up to that you couldn't manage with a kid or two in tow!

One thing I ask though is no slurs against people who have children or against the children themselves, there are some especially nasty stuff slung at parents, especially mothers and we'll have none of that sort of misogyny (and sometimes racism tbh) here.

Hi everyone. I'm in my early thirties and I'm from the US. I'm currently single and I have no desire to have children. Growing up, I liked the idea of children, but by the time I was in my late teen/early twenties I realized it just wasn't going to happen. I just don't have the patience for them. Like someone else already said, it's nice to be able to give them back at the end of the day.

When I tell people I don't want kids I get the usual "Oh, how come?" But for the most part, people have been pretty cool with it.

anyway, it's nice to meet you all. :)

Hey welcome, everyone's early 30s here :D

Yeah I definitely changed my mind over time, or at least when I truly thought about whether I wanted kids I realised that the answer was no and I had just been assuming that because "everyone" has kids then I would probably do that too.
