Babies and Facebook

As I get older *sigh*, it seems as though more and more of my friends are jumping on to the baby bandwagon.  I know it was inevitable but that still doesn’t mean I have to like it.  Facebook has obviously allowed a lot of us to keep in touch with current and past connections and [...]

You don’t say?!

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 [...]

There Should be Leash Laws for Children…

Sorry for the long absence.  I’ve had a lot going on lately with work, personal issues, etc., but anyway, on to the topic du jour!
I’ve mentioned before that I have shown horses since I was 8 years old.  One of my pet peeves is when people just turn their children loose at these events.  Not [...]

Television’s Officially Hit Rock Bottom

We all know that television these days can be occasionally…well…disappointing.  However, even on my most desperate days, I can’t imagine anyone willingly watching this.
It’s bad enough that they’re everywhere in the media, but why on earth would anyone want to watch a play by play of this trainwreck.  I mean, why hasn’t her body just [...]

Happy (Early) Halloween!

This was sent to me earlier today from a friend who saw it on www.extremepumpkins.com and with Halloween being a mere few days away, it was just too good not to share.

Happy Halloween, folks.

Nail head? Meet hammer.

In the third and final presidential debate tonight, the topic of abortion was finally brought up.  Afterwards, I watched an online video on msnbc.com where they asked Rachel Maddow and Pat Buchanan their thoughts.  Rachel Maddow was completely spot on when she said it comes down to how much say we want the government to [...]

Do I look like I care?

It seems like lately, everyone has a pregnancy announcement.  I know the reaction that everyone expects to get upon breaking the news is squeals of excitement and joy from all within earshot.  Not me, I just feel the overwhelming urge to upchuck.  I’m sorry (not really) that I don’t get excited and giddy when someone [...]

Politics and Fertility Icons

Has anyone seen this article?
I occasionally talk about my political opinions, but I try not to make this a political blog as the childfree subject matter is sensitive enough without having to pour 5 gallons of kerosene onto the fire.  However, the upcoming US election is obviously a hot topic at home as well as [...]

Like Fingernails Down a Chalkboard

I’ve discovered there are some child/baby-related phrases out there that just grate on my nerves like nothing else.  I’m sure part of it is because I’m happily childfree and most things pertaining to children/babies/pregnancy either a) annoys b)scares or c) disgusts me, but there are some things that come out of breeders mouths that makes [...]

Add it to the list…

We all know and come to expect getting bingo’ed from time to time when others discover our non-procreating decision and lifestyle.  We’ve all heard the generic ones “You’ll change your mind,” “But you were a child once too,” “What if your parents had made the same decision,” blah, blah, blah…  However, recently I’ve heard a [...]
