Oh my god. Thank you! When I search for middle aged women no kid blogs….it’s all framed in the context of babies!!!!! Thank you for NOT doing that! So annoying!
No kids for me. I’m a middle-aged bag that loves to partyyyy!!!!
Thank you so much for including the reply to Kathleen Parker in your list of articles.
I totally agree with the all questions you raised. Thanks for the info, you made it easy to understand. I just filled out CA FTB 3520 with an online software. It looked much better typed than hand-written. I used
http://goo.gl/vqXaGVand it’s very easy to use.Hi, I was happy to find your blog and love it, but can’t seem to subscribe properly. I get a confirmation email and then the next day am told my subscription must have expired. I’ll try again now, hoping it will work. Also looking for support and friends online, and wanted to join the ranks!
Hi! I’m not sure what is going on with that, I will have to look into it. Were you able to subscribe? Maybe I need to update the RSS feed. Sorry I’ve taken a break from this blog and just now trying to clean things up and make time for it again. Do you blog?
Hi! I started searching for the Childfree sites a couple years ago and just found yours today. Thanks for sharing the story of your drive to San Diego. I hope all is well!
Welcome Nancy. I’ve been on a break from my blog lately, but trying to make more time for it again. Funny enough I’ve actually made quiet a few childfree friends here in San Diego through the blog 🙂
Looking for some support. Came out publicly with our child free choice and although friends and strangers are supportive, parents and grandparents are freaking out!!
Oh Elizabeth, I’m so sorry to hear that!! Also sorry I kind of had to check out from this blog for a little while (I’m starting my own business). Hopefully they will come around. At the end of the day, it’s not their decision. I don’t really have any personal advice to offer on that front, other than mostly strangers and a few friends have had small digs, but no major blow ups. All I have to say is stand by your decision and just no it’s not that unusual.
Thanks FB&B. The outrage turned to silence and resentment. Everyone thought that because I liked kids when I was a teen, I would definitely be a mom. They are refusing to accept the contraire. Interested to hear from other people who had gone through similar experiences, or blog posts about “after the child free choice”. as most articles focus on explaining the reason.
Oh I’m sorry to hear that! Anytime you go off the status quo there is are always some people who take issue with it, it’s hard for some people to imagine a different path to life. I don’t think you have to hate kids to want to be childfree, I actually know a few teachers that are childfree by choice. That’s a great blog post topic idea!
Hi, another childfree blogger here. I just started my blog this week, so I don’t have much content yet, but I hope you don’t mind me using your Childfree Blogger button on my site! It’s nice to see so many other childfree women out here on the Interwebz!
Hi Beth, welcome! It is very nice to know there are others out there 🙂 I’ll add you to the page as well! So glad you stopped by and are joining the “ranks” 🙂
Def will think about blogging with you in a mutually beneficial manner. It was later in life that I realized there is a stigma about being childfree. I do now see a bit of a drawback to not creating or raising a child who thinks like me, has the same worldview. In contrast, I see lots of people creating kids who have a worldview that is less than helpful, let’s say.
However, we can always effect education, change by participating in endeavors that help shape childrens’ lives, especially children who do not have parents.
Thanks for the mention (Embracing Adventure)!
Of course!! Thanks for putting another perspective out there.
Thanks for the mention!
Love this! Who says that you have to get married and pop out 2.5 kids? My s.o and I have chosen not to get married or have kids and we sometimes get a lot of judgment because of that. Just because you want to follow a set of rules that society has deemed as the “norm” does not mean I want to.
Thank you Rose! Exactly!! It’s always nice to know when you are not the only one following the “norm” 🙂 Everyone has different paths.
Hey! I’ve joined the “child-free” club finally! 😉 I thought you should know! Oooh, just let someone say something stupid to me about being child-free! I can make them feel reaaaallly bad! -Jess
Oh yes! Finally! I’m 40 and child-free, for various reasons, and I’m so fed up with people’s reactions and weird comments about it.
Hey Mariah!
My husband and I don’t plan on having kids either and it’s amazing the range of reactions we get. Some people totally get it, while others seem to immediately lose all interest in conversation with you. I can’t wait to check out this page & all the links more thoroughly!
hey thanks for including me! this is a good list. i can’t wait to dig through it a little more for some good reading 🙂
I am so happy that I found this. I am just about to turn 30 and we don’t have children and don’t think we will either. The reaction we get from friends and family is ridiculous, so it is nice to know there are other people that feel the same.
This is so great! I don’t plan on having children either and will definitely be taking a look and some of these articles 🙂
Thanks for stopping in Jenn! Hope you find some of them useful!
Thank you for adding me to this list. I will come back and check out the other blogs shortly. It’s nice to know I’m not alone in my opinions as it can sometimes feel that way!
Hi Roxanne! So glad to have found your blog to be added!
Mariah, This is amazing. I’m off to check each and every site out! Kudos for putting together such an extensive roundup.
Hugs friend.
Thanks Shannon! I’m hoping more will be discovered to add.
