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 [...]

Add it to the list…

August 26, 2008

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 [...]

Wedding brats

May 19, 2008

I stumbled across this article the other day, and I must admit, I was pretty irked by the time I finished the last paragraph. The author is basically saying that children should be attending any and every wedding regardless of whether or not they were invited. There were many things that ticked [...]

I don’t even have/want kids! Why do I have to pay for them anyway?!

February 10, 2008

[Quick Rant]
So, tomorrow is the first day of my new job.  Like most first days, it will be spent filling out paperwork, orientation, that kind of “fun” stuff.  The one thing that always infuriates me to no end is the fact that I still have to pay the same rate for insurance as if I [...]

Don’t even tell me that I have no responsibilities…

February 5, 2008

One thing that really makes me want to sock some parents in the mouth is the fact that because I don’t have a brood, they think I’m responsibility free. I often get the “You just don’t want to grow up and have any responsibilities and that makes you childish” bingo. Uh…come again? [...]

Pro-choice does not mean Pro-abortion or Pro-death

January 27, 2008

I try not to make this a political blog as I respect other people’s political views, but there is something that has been driving me crazy. Unfortunately, I live in the southeastern part of the United States, also known as the Bible Belt. As you have probably guessed it, the majority of people [...]

Sneakers from Hell

January 22, 2008

I’ve had this post on the back burner for a while but after today’s incident, I feel inspired to post.  Does anyone one else absolutely DESPISE those awful creations called Heelys?  In case you are blessed not to have dealt with this horrible invention, I’ll fill you in.  These are sneakers that have a single [...]

Hear, hear…

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, [...]

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 [...]
