You don’t say?!

April 9, 2009

In my daily rundown of news articles, I came across a particularly interesting one today on MSNBC.com. While the majority of childfree folks already realize that not having kids eliminates a huge stress that is added to a relationship and see it as an added perk, this is news to many others. And [...]

Oh happy day!

March 29, 2008

Good news! My husband and I just closed on our dream house (and got a fantastic rate). Even better news? It’s not in a family friendly area. In fact, the people who we bought the house from are childfree as well. When we arrived at the office [...]

Going green by sterilization

November 25, 2007

I ran across this article this morning, and decided to share it with the childfree masses. It interviews two childfree couples who have decided to forego children in order to live a more green and environmentally friendly life. This is one of the many common reasons that people decide to be childfree.
Of course, [...]

Vasectomy at 28 (The horrors!)

October 6, 2007

I was catching up on my daily dose of news the other day when I came across this article on the front page of msnbc.com.
This article left me somewhat irked. Not because a man decided to get The Big Snip at a young age without kids (good for him! Applause all around), but [...]

Childfreedom

September 29, 2007

I know it had been a while before I had posted my previous post.  I apologize for that.  I’ve had a few 60 hour work weeks and life has been plenty hectic.  However, I missed it here.  It is my little realm of sanity among the world of crazy breeders. 
It simply amazes me [...]

TMC du Jour

September 4, 2007

I haven’t perused the TMC website in a good long while. However, today I got the urge to see what kind of mothering trainwrecks were going on in the world. To my fellow Childfree, if you had even the slightest ounce of doubt in your mind (you’re only human, I’ll forgive you this [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Poor Childfree…

July 19, 2007

This is old, but it’s still good for a chuckle… Enjoy!

I’m just fine, thank you.

July 18, 2007

Whew! It’s been an absolutely crazy week at work, but I finally have some time where I’m not working late or too exhausted to blog. So, blog I shall.
Have you ever noticed how when someone first learns of your childfree status (and every intention of keeping it that way) they automatically think something [...]
