    Well, hubs and I WERE D.I.N.K.s, until I lost my full time job. Now we're S.I.N.K.s (single income, no kids) - also with 2 parrots.

    Look up DINKS in the dictionary and who do you find? My wife and I. Thank you for the post, your description of the situation with other friends and singles is perfect. We get tired of wanting to go out and do things only to find that our friends can only go out for an hour due to kids...etc.

    We are DINKS! My husband and I have been together almost six years, married a little over a year. We both have good jobs, a home, very little debt and three adorable dogs. We do want children in the next year or so. Our friends are limited as well, they either have small children or live far away.

    Checking in!

    Wife and I have been together 14 year, coming up on our 11th anniversary in Oct.

    Only "kids" of the furry, four legged sort here (by choice). I'm 38, she's 37. The plan is to stay DINK.

    This is so me and my husband! No kids (just critter-babies) but LOTS of nieces and nephews. Im more than happy spoiling someone else child and then sending them home. That way I'm the COOL aunt... :)

    Kids are awesome!

    I have 4 boys. Wife watches kids in our home as her profession. We have friends who have/do not have kids. We plan things with the kids. We plan A LOT without the kids. We go to Vegas. We go to Disney. We take them camping. We get drunk at all day picnics. We take them to amusement parks. We watch their sport practices and games. My kids are so great, and those kids of my buddies are too, that we have everyone's phone numbers. There have been times my best buddies have picked up my kid to take him somewhere, and left me and vice versa with their kids. I wouldn't have it any other way. It has become a family. Life is awesome!

    Life is too short to evaluate friends based on kids/no kids and what you can/cannot do. Embrace the kids. Embrace people. Your world will open very wide.

    Not sure if this counts but our youngest (18 1/2) just moved out. Well, he did this with some encouragement from us. It's nice and peaceful! I guess we are indirectly....DINK's. No pets.

    My husband has a 12 y.o. from a previous relationship and we have her most weekends (sometime overnight, sometimes for the day) but for all intents and purposes, we are DINKS. Dont have kids between us, dont plan to have them. 2 cats who are spoiled, will have dogs when we have a house that can accommodate.

    Many of our friends are still child free (at our age, most people have little ones, not almost- teens), so we still manage to get out a fair bit. To be honest, we're the boring ones, we love our weekends on the couch with video games and a few beers!
