    No kiddies. I'm 67 and never wanted kids. I write a blog about childfree women. You can read it at http://www.audacious-aging.coom



    Hola, sister. I'm 65 and never wanted kids either... so I didn't have any. Best decision I ever made.

    I don't have children, and have zero desire to ever have them in the future.

    Both me and my partner are childfree. Never wanted kids, don't understand the appeal.

    I went through premature menopause at age 30. I thought I had time. :(

    I have known since I was a kid that I didn't want to have children. I didn't play "house", I played shopping and travel, seriously. Child-free by choice and loving every minute of it!

    My mind is honestly quite boggled by these responses. I guess most people here do not know of "childfree by choice" being a thing?

    it's not the same as just not having kids, or having an empty nest because your children are older now...

    Precisely.

    Right?? You'd think the initial post, and the clarified "by choice" would clue them in, but apparently not...
    It's quite clear: We have made the VOLUNTARY decision not to reproduce.

    I'm 25, living in s community where most ppl start having kids 16-18 years old. Every year, I find out more information on pregnancy/labour/childrearing/parent stupidity that drives me further away from ever wanting children.

    Thanks Facebook. And moms who give TMI >__>

    My 64 year old aunt is single & child free, and I must say, I kind of admire her life. She got to be a cop, travel the world, do all kinds of things like take dances classes/karate/swimming & she hangs out with jazz bands. At her age, her body still looks pretty awesome because it hasn't been ruined by children! She can do whatever she wants like br nocturnal, smoke, eat chocolate cake for breakfast or have some beers with friends without any husband or kids asking what's for dinner, where's my sweater or why isn't the house spotless.

    WINNING!

    No children. Now or ever. Much to my in-laws dismay.

    Yep. Child-free by choice. I've known since I was 14 that I did not want kids. Everyone said I would change my mind and "it's different when they're yours." I'm now 38 and still feel the same way.

    Although, if I thought having kids would stop people like the Duggers from ruining more, I might consider it. But, sadly, it doesn't work that way.

    ...to be child free is to make the choice not to have children...

    I thought child free meant you didn't have any kids at all - past, present, or future, either by choice or through nature. Or are the people who didn't choose to be child free but ended up without kids just childless? I'm confused. :ohwell:
