Hi Emma,
So glad you found us. You were lucky to have a mother who was honest about it all. Of course, whether she had been or not, you may have decided you didn't want kids. Like you, I wasn't into all the dolls and playing mommy stuff. I liked to pretend to be a horse. Pathetic, huh? Hah. I can still whinny. We're all different. A lot of people who are childfree can't remember a time they ever wanted to have kids. I've known since childhood. To me, it was a pretty shallow realization -- like "that looks really boring" or "that looks really annoying" and "that's not what i want to do with my time." And I was right -- for me!
Congrats on your tubal. So many people have come to us and said no one would give them one. When will men ever stop thinking they should control women's bodies?? I hope some of the political initiatives this year will fight back the strong surge of anti-women decisions that have been in politics lately.
You know, since Facebook, there aren't as many posters here, but we have archives of posts that are rich with information and address the many issues we face for our decisions to be childfree, and as you have time, please do dig deep and open up some of the old threads, and feel free to comment on any that interest you and that will reopen a discussion.
You can talk about pretty much anything in the Miscellaneous section here as well. You don't have to strain to find something childfree related. If you just want to share or get something off your chest, we'd love that.
Preraph, Moderator
