Wow thank you! I’ve always felt a sense of loneliness as a childfree individual in a largely pronatalist society and never expected to find such support in an online community. Thanks for helping me feel understood. I hope I can provide that in a small way for you, as well. :)
Shitty sponsored ad on my Instagram feed today... A fake conversation between one woman who just got married and another who got her a fertility test as a present 🤦♀️ Looks like other women hated it as much as I did. Last comment is mine. 💁♀️

Does anyone remember a specific moment or time in their lives when they realized they don’t have to have kids? I feel like because it’s treated as the norm in our pronatalist society, many of us grew up thinking having kids was inevitable. It’s incredibly freeing to realize you can go against the grain and make your own path in life without becoming a parent! For some of us, it’s a monumental epiphany, and it can still be hard to internalize, especially when other people are constantly putting you down for it.
I realized it back when I was a kid. I was the only girl to not squeal and giggle at the sight of a kid, and the first one to get irritated by the sound of a baby crying.
This person is looking for someone to raise her child. The child is in school from, assuming 9am-3:30 and then her mother works until 10pm where, again assuming, the child will already be asleep in preparation for her next school day.
Can anyone recommend a good adoption agency to this woman? I mean Jesus Christ.
“Why don’t you want to have kids?” Well…here’s 8 reasons, from the horse’s mouth.
Yooo
I will never understand the thought process behind getting rid of a dog/cat/any type of pet just because it doesn’t like kids.
Like, I’m not going to get rid of my dog or cat just because they snapped/hissed at your brat. Teach your damn kids to respect animals and stop messing with them when they are CLEARLY uncomfortable. It’s not fucking difficult to tell your kid to back off and give them some space or else risk getting bitten or scratched. Play stupid games win stupid prizes after all.
I’m sooner to punt your brat across the room for fucking with my animals than get rid of my pets or hit them.
Don’t listen to the media. Don’t listen to anyone. Having a baby / raising a kid isn’t the culmination of your existence, it doesn’t mark a state of ~completion for your marriage, your adulthood, your purpose, your life. Your life is complete already. Your family can be whatever you build with a partner, friends, relatives. Having or raising kids isn’t the end all be all. You aren’t missing out on a cosmically spiritual experience. The world is overpopulated and does not benefit from more of your DNA.

For me, it was slow then all at once. I worked in childcare, all of my friends and family of my age were popping out whoopsy babies…and I slowly started to realize that I never wanted to be that tired or bitch about my life that much or have to spend my hard earned money on a little leech…then it hit my like a ton of bricks while forced to be around soccer moms at work. Being around them literally made me sick. Parents in general are the biggest entitled assholes. Like hello, you achieved NOTHING! You did what mammals do. And most of yall did it on accident.
Happy International Childfree Day!
Can’t let today go by without wishing all my followers happy holidays 😂 Love this community and the camaraderie and support it provides! Childfree life is the best life. ❤️
Anyone else feel like celebrating when they get that sweet, sweet reassurance? 😂

I don’t remember an exact moment of realisation, however, within the last few years, I have had a 13-month relationship, where my ex-partner used to say, “oh, I’d definitely love a little me - or more - running around one day” (yes, those exact words!). This definitely made me think to myself, “I’m sorry - a little HIM?!”, and the thought really brought me down. I thought him saying that was bad enough, however, he once took me with him to London (I live in the UK, so it’s not an over the sea trip or anything), to see this rich friend of his father’s, and, of course, I was the trophy he had to show off. Not long after settling down at a table in this posh underground jazz club, this rich mate of his father’s turns to him and says, “so do you have any children?”, whilst looking at my ex, and he (ex) laughed about it and said “no, not yet”. The man got a little more serious and said, “Hmph. When I was your age, I had two children.” (my ex was 25 then, I was only 18!), and he looked at me almost spitefully, as if to say I’m nothing without a destroyed body and a ruined life just because I “should” be polluting my body with my exe’s genes.
Looking back, this was one of the worst experiences as someone who was not at all sure they wanted to ever be a victim of pregnancy. However, now, with my current partner of over 3 years, I can gladly say that we are both aware of the dangers of creating a life, and we don’t want to be involved in it. There’s too much at stake.
Oh, and the cats and dogs we will have in the future would be heavily allergic. Nobody wants that.

My realisation came when I got in to a long term relationship and actually had a reason to really think in depth about things like having kids. We realised together that we didn’t want to do that and it is definitely nice to be so certain about it.

Happy Never Mother’s Day!
Mother’s Day is a dreaded, difficult day for many of us in the childfree community. Stay strong in your convictions, remember that motherhood is an option (not a requirement), and keep celebrating the greatness that is the childfree life!
If nobody believes you when you say you don’t want kids, just tell them you’re an anti-vaxxer and they’ll likely decide you shouldn’t have kids & leave you alone.
