[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who is child-free by choice, I find it immensely odd when these discussions come up that so many think CFBC people pass on kids because of "travel and fun!" like we're perpetually stuck in our early 20s backpacking phase. Most of the CFBC people I know made that decision for bigger reasons such as knowing they wouldn't be good at it, or chronic illness, or intense jobs, or just it flat out didn't appeal to them. I don't think I've ever heard someone say, "think of all the travel and fun!" Weird.[/quote]

All the CFBC people I know have health issues, family dysfunction that they didn’t want to perpetuate, or just didn’t want kids. None of them are off traveling and doing fun things all the time. They sleep more and make different activity/travel choices when they have time for those things, but mostly they’re just working and paying bills like everyone else. [/quote]

In my case it's not health issues or family dysfunction. I just didn't want kids. I never had the urge. I appreciate the flexibility that not having kids gives us. But it's not the reason for it. We just didn't want kids. That's the reason.

I love being an aunt! I love kids. I just didn't want them for myself. [/quote]
