I'm guessing most of you have seen or heard about the lastest TIME issue about "the Childfree Life"...?

I haven't bought it yet, but plan to pick it up..

that's a good one. I don't get it as much now that I'm pushing mid-40's, but I have a friend who is really getting a lot of flak lately (she's 38, married and they don't have kids). Its not easy to come out and say "I don't want kids", because it opens that big can of worms....but it shouldn't be like that! People shouldn't feel that its OK to ask anyone about their reproductive intentions!

I love the LA Times response and it sums up my feelings perfectly. Thank you for posting. This needs to be shared on Facebook!

I also love the LA Times response and have even said some of those things she mentioned (I can't even take care of myself) and I sure love my fur baby. Looking forward to reading the Time article for sure. Thanks for the heads up!
