Awww a pic of your newborn baby??
He/she looks EXACTLY like every other newborn baby with his/her squished alien face in that generic hospital pastel blue and pink striped cap…. lol
I will barf if I see another pic of your kids on...
Ok that is harsh and I really don’t totally mean it. Not totally anyway. My FB news feed over the halloween weekend threw up kids and babies in costume all over me. I sarcastically posted my dog in bat wings as my profile pic as a rebuttle. I guess this is the age range in my life where all friends and acquaintances have going on is their family. I can’t really blame them because I...

Fear of baby registries
I’m seriously scared of them. What the hell is half the stuff on there anyway? If you want to scare people into not having kids, have them look at a baby registry.
Why would I want to buy you nipples, a diaper disposal system, breast pump, or a nasal aspirator? How NOT fun is that? Can’t we keep the registry list to things like teddy bears and cute outfits??

So we got a dog...
We recently got a Boston Terrier. I’ve never had dogs growing up but my husband had. I had no idea a puppy would be so much work! It has completely solidified the decision to not have kids. I just don’t think I can handle the constant responsibility, lack of sleep, need for attention, all of it… If a puppy takes this much time and energy, I can’t even remotely begin to...

Adult day at the zoo or aquarium
Well for one, it doesn’t really exist to my knowledge, at least it’s not widely popular (see my research below). I have strong feelings about the fact that zoos and aquariums are biased towards children. How is that fair? As an adult, I pay more money for admission first of all. Maybe I like animals and sea life just as much, if not more than kids. But when I go visit the zoo or the...

I don't really care that your kid likes squash
Scenario: work function. sit-down dinner. 6 people at my table including me - 3 men, 3 women. 4 are married with small children. 1 single woman, no children. 1 married woman, no children (me).
The conversation miraculously turns towards kids. What their kids like to eat, how they get their kids to eat, what time they eat, the funny things their kids do and say. The other childfree woman and I...

The Genesis of the Blog
To be honest, I can’t say I am 100% sure I don’t want kids and never ever will. However, I do know that I LOVE the DINK life and wouldn’t trade it for anything right now. I think our culture/society trains us to feel like we should and need to have children. I don’t think many people really sit and think about whether they truly want kids or what it means to have a dual...
