Free by Choice

Quote From: indus05

 I call it child FREE by choice, not childless....and no, we are not selfish, that's the lamest accusation anyone can make, there is no logic to that at all.

I applaud your decision not to have children if you don't want them.   I think that some people are pressured by family and friends to reproduce and are in no way ready or willing to be parents.  I have 5 kids (so I am obviously not speaking from experience) but, there are many ways to contribute to society.  Being "free" does not mean nonproductive.  Catholic priests and nuns are childless (although not very free!)  I don't consider them to be selfish!

 

Good Luck to You!!
