Why did you opt out of parenthood? I never really thought about it much until I was in a LTR and then realised it wasn't something I particularly wanted to do for health reasons, money reasons and dealing with everything involved.
Do you think your childhood experiences and/or your parents actions influenced your decision? Well my mum always stressed how important it is to not get accidentally pregnant and how it will ruin your life, so while I kind of assumed I'd probably have kids one day it wasn't something I felt terribly strongly about.
Do you have any Child-free friends or relatives? Yes, my aunt (my mum's youngest sister) is now in her 50s and has a happy house made up of her, her fiancé (they've been together for a very long time without getting married) and their three dogs and a few other pets! She's kinda my rolemodel!
How do you feel/react when your loved ones announce they’re expecting? The closest person to me who has been pregnant is my cousin, we're around the same age, and though she is married I don't think their little boy was actually planned so I was worried for them when I found, they seem to be all doing well now and they are a great family.
What is the most ridiculous Bingo you’ve ever received? An incredibly intrusive person asked whether I'd donate my eggs, I don't really agree with IVF so definitely would never do that
Are you worried you might one day regret your decision? I'm pretty happy with it so no regrets!
(For women) Don’t you want to experience being pregnant? No, it's so damaging to your body and dangerous
Is your current partner Childfree as well? Yes
Is it possible to be in a happy, fulfilling relationship without children? Definitely, in fact I'd argue that it's easier
Define parenthood in one word. Stress
Do you think you would be a good parent? Why/Why Not? No because I'm very impatient
Do you have pets? Do you think you transfer the nurturing and love intended for a child unto your pet(s)? I don't currently have pets but I definitely dote on them when I do! (yeah don't like the implication of "intended for" there)
Which label do you prefer? Child-Free or Childless? Childfree
Are you worried about who will take care of you when you’re old? Not at the moment
What is the best part about being Child-Free? My money and my body are my own

Gah that person re: IVF/eggs I'd lose my cool with almost anyone who asked something so invasive.
