Babies and Facebook

October 16, 2009

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 [...]

A Friendly PSA (not CF-related)

September 22, 2008

I try not to post too many off-topic posts here, but I figure this could benefit many of my readers, so I’m breaking my own rule.  If you don’t already do so, please consider getting an external harddrive and consistently backing up your files.  Most people don’t think about this until after tragedy strikes and [...]

Picking up the slack…

June 13, 2008

Sorry I’ve been away for a while.  I’ve been crazy busy at work.  I’m actually going to be taking over for a woman that’s going on maternity leave (I know, the irony…).  I was frustrated since that meant that I had to handle and learn all of her accounts as well as deal with an [...]

Breeder-itis rears its ugly head…

March 4, 2008

Yeah, we’ve all gotten that bingo before. You know the one. The one about how we’re selfish and immature for not wanting to have kids. Well, that may be true occasionally, but the childed are not immune to selfishness and immaturity as we’ve known for quite some time.
The other day at work, [...]

Disney = Childfree?

January 15, 2008

If you’re like me, when you think of Disney and Disney World, images of hoards of families with screaming, squalling children come to mind. However, Disney World has decided to take a step in the childfree direction. According to this tidbit of information, Disney has decided to make one of its restaurants, Victoria [...]

2008 Presidential Candidates

January 3, 2008

Well, it’s finally here. 2008. Election year. And to my fellow Americans, I’m sure just the thought of it is enough to make you want to go lie down.
We all know that women’s reproductive choice is one of the hot-button topics and is definitely an issue that is near and dear to [...]

Topsy-turvy

December 19, 2007

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I have been crazy-busy and will hopefully get my life sorted out soon. To give you the “Cliff’s Notes version,” I was laid off from my job a few weeks ago (Happy Holiday’s, eh?). I know that it’s a risk I run being in the [...]

Hear, hear…

December 3, 2007

Best. Rant. Ever.
I ran across the above website by accident last night, and I must say I like it. I know basically every childfree person in existence feels the same way as the author, and she did an excellent job putting it into words.
That’s right breeders¹! We’re not your free babysitter. Quit [...]

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, [...]

A Little Bit of Background…

November 20, 2007

It’s been a few months since I started this blog and although I haven’t had a chance to get around to it yet, I’ve decided now to give some background as to why I started this blog.
I decided to join the childfree blogging community to voice my opinions, concerns, and frustrations about what it’s like [...]
