[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for this thread, it's a nice reminder of the blessings of living a life childfree.

I work with kids, spend lots of time with them, love them a lot and am grateful that my work is about building healthy kids to meet the future.

But I'm also very grateful my life belongs to me and especially that I don't have to grapple with parental anxiety, which I think some people are nearly crippled by.

I have boatloads of existential anxiety, but doom and gloom are much easier to take when it's only you who will be facing the post-apocalyptic world.[/quote]

It's funny that OP was accused of being smug and mean but this is apparently fine  :roll: [/quote]

How is my post smug and mean? I love kids. I am grateful not to have the ever present anxiety of one's heart walking around out there in the world. When I feel sad about not having kids, a few hours of true crime programming reminds me how horrifically you can lose a child and I'm grateful again not to have one. I have mad respect for the folks who live with that kind of dread.

I'm not mean or smug.
