Please take your baby elsewhere…

August 30, 2007

I’ve posted about this before. An ad agency (or any office) is no place for kids, especially newborns. I realize that parents want to show off their new “bundle of joy” (or bundle of hell, in my opinion), but honestly, do you really have to bring your five-month-old to the office?
I am currently [...]

Demoting the dog

August 24, 2007

I recently stumbled across this article on the Time website. I must say I’m quite appalled and disgusted, although I have seen it happen on several occasions. What was once a beloved pet and faithful friend, becomes, at best, a burden once the new “human” bundle of joy arrives. I witnessed it [...]

Childfree House vs. Child-proofed House

August 23, 2007

The great thing about not having kids (well…one of the MANY great things) is that my house is in much better order than any child-proofed suburbanite home.  Hearing about some of the horrors that children can do to a home makes me breathe a sigh of relief to know that I won’t ever have to [...]

Whoever gets pregnant first wins! Woo!

August 15, 2007

Oh. My. God. As if people need to “glorify” having children any more, Russia has decided to make it a contest. They have now declared September 12, the Day of Conception in hope that it will lead to a plethora of babies being born on their “National Day” which happens to be 9 [...]

Childfree quote of the week

August 13, 2007

Today’s gearing up to be a quite a busy day, so rather than neglect my blog all together, I’ll just drop you a nice, little, childfree quote to ponder:
“If motherhood doesn’t interest you, don’t do it. It didn’t interest me, so I didn’t do it. Anyway, I would have made a terrible parent. The first [...]

Letter to Parents

August 8, 2007

Dear Parents/Breeders:
I am writing to inform you that although your little heathen child, might be the light of your life and the center of your world, we couldn’t care less. While you’re life may now consist of changing diapers, drool, and 2 a.m. feedings, there is absolutely no reason to share those [...]

A child is not a novelty toy, it’s a responsibility

August 7, 2007

I have heard time and again people say that those who have children should have put as much thought into having them as childfree have put into not having them. Although I realize that this is no more than a pipe dream, it does seem like this might cut down the number of unwanted [...]

Thou shalt not sugarcoat

August 6, 2007

I’ve noticed a trend in the childfree lately. A number of childfree tell others the ol’ “It’s not that I have anything against kids, I just don’t want any of my own.” While this is true for some childfree, why do those who genuinely dislike children feel that they have to sugarcoat it [...]
