The many benefits of a child-free life

GuD · 07-06-2014, 09:35 PM

I don't understand why there's so much hostility on both sides of the to have kids or not to have kids debate. It's not really anyone's business or place to be looking down upon or glorifying being another breeder or for not seeing importance in raising a family. Why do so many people always wanna make their own way of life out to be better than everyone elses?

To convince the mob/public/3rd-party to support their lifestyle before the other guys do. Because when the other guys do it first, sometimes they then proceed to round up your children and torture them.

Another good reason not to have kids.

I've known several couples that have had children not because they really wanted to have a family but because they thought it was a natural progression in their relationship, that's just seems wrong to me.

I knew from a young age I didn't want children, everyone said I'd feel different as I got older or when I got married. No, I didn't, even when close friends and family had babies it never stirred any maternal feelings. I see people go gaga on seeing a new born, I feel nothing.

I've been questioned all throughout my adult life why I chose not to be a mother, like its the only thing I'm here to do. I'm very secure in my reasons and choices and have never once regretted my decision.

Question:

In the opinion of the board, does being child free also refer to parents with adopted or foster children?

Or does child free mean dependent free?

You wanna adopt but still keep that cool tag?

Is it child free if you don't reproduce but have a basement full of abducted child slaves?

OccultHawk · 05-14-2020, 02:46 AM

Dependent free

Adopting is far more moral but still questionable considering it undermines abortion

It still means you get no peace when you get home. How the **** anyone could choose to have a kid instead of silence is beyond me.

Oh what a surprise, WWWP is gonna have a kid so she can have her generic middle class cracker fantasy life.
