Childfree has been around in some form or another since the early 2000s. I remember finding it on Livejournal and thinking they were all virulently lovely.

Then I found childfree_hardcore, which was for the people who thought childfree didn't hate kids and parents enough.

Edit: apparently the Livejournal community was active as recently as 2016.

IDK, I have kids and I hate other kids and their parents.

I tried getting my boys into Boy Scouts, and I forgot how bad it can be if you want open-minded, non-homophobic kids. Seriously the mos toxic parents and Indigo kids in that group.

quote:

My wife and I turn 30 this year. We've been married for 3-4 years, while having dated almost a decade before that. Throughout most of this time we've both been fencesitters, although leaning towards CF. Over the past 2 years I've been veering very much towards CF, and I thought she was too. E.g. she would make comments like "that's why I'm never having kids" when visiting our relatives and seeing their children. We're living apart for now because of a job situation, but I just received a phone call from her saying that she's reconsidering having kids, just because contrary to all the poo poo that we've seen, it could actually be a very rewarding experience. When I told her - for her own sake of course - that she should really think hard about this because she would need to find someone else fast given our age, she said she felt betrayed, despite us being very clear on each other's stances on this topic, or so I thought. She got off the phone and I feel like this might be one of those ominous signs of a slow, ugly death of our relationship.

During the phone call I also tried to tease out if she's been influenced by her friends, but it doesn't seem that way. We've also been apart for extended periods of time before, and when she gets moody this has never happened. That's why I think this might be for real.

For folks who were in long relationships/marriage that ended because of differences on CF, what does this sound like to you?

And of couse the comments are things like "Do not have sex with her anymore. She's short on time and might try to trap you. And yes, a split is the most likely outcome. Since you're the one who doesn't want kids, you have time to talk this out if you so wish, but please, no sex."

I'm 38 and married with no kids but it never occurred to me to talk to others about it. Kinda similar to posting about atheism.

Because if you are a person who doesn't want kids, you just don't have them; you wouldn't spend all day complaining about "breeders" and the kid at Target who took the last Pokemon game that you were coveting, "that little rear end in a top hat.. He can't possibly apprecia tte the bond I have with Pikachu"

I guarantee you the redditors in childfree fall in to at least one category:

1. Nobody will gently caress me
2. Arrested development
3. Can't have kids (but never wanted to anywaaay)
4. Terrible childhood, angry that other kids are happy
5. Doesn't want children, too much of a pussy to tell mom and dad they won't, militantly anti-kid online

Meanwhile, people who don't want to have kids and are mentally well are too busy loving, doing drugs, and other fun poo poo to post online.

She was at the Harry Potter place at Orlando Studios. You know, the place designed for children.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

telling other people about how youre legitimately committed to bettering yourself now is absolutely fine

but leveraging events, happy or sad, in your personal life solely to get that sweet, sweet Reddit Gold is Cursed

so I agree with you, but, I got off crack! is one thing, Hi Reddit I got off crack, PM me nudes is another
