Calling All Child Free

**moasmom** · 10-26-2010, 02:02 PM

Childfree here, but never made a choice. I've just always known (since I was kid myself) that I didn't want kids. I feel very fortunate to have fallen in love with a like-minded man (been married 14 years). There is no way to compromise on the to-have-kids-or-not issue, and I have seen many relationships brought down by incompatibility in this area.

To make it permanent (and quit taking artificial hormones), I had a tubal ligation 3 years ago. Best decision ever!

We have 2 dogs (rescued racing greyhounds) and 2 cats (one cranky, one sweet).

I am also childfree. I don't know if I want to remain childfree but I still have a little time to figure it out.

I do have one very spoiled rotten and mean cat that keeps me on my toes though!

Hubby and I have been married for 3 years. No kids yet, but plan to in about 5 years. We have a few plans between now and then. We do have a cat and 3 guinea pigs.

I'll jump in. We are child-free ( I have a 26 year old son who has lived on his own since he was 19) and have been married for 7 months. No kids in our future!

My son is getting married in September (yay!).

We have 4 dogs (3 puggles, one weenie-mix), four cats and three birds ( a cockatiel and 2 parakeets).

Hi all childless here, married to DH since 2006. Currently undergoing fertility treatments and have been trying for the past 2 years. I want a kitty but DH is allergic.

Childfree by choice, married, and no pets! But lots of houseplants... does that count?

Child free not by choice but getting used to it... Married for 5 years

We have two Boston Terriers (terrors is more like it)

and one tuxedo Manx cat that's bigger than both of them and runs the house!

Been together almost 7 years and don't plan on having children- I can't say I have ever wanted any and that doesn't seem to be changing any time soon. I am not a maternal person at all.

We are however desperate for cats but we just haven't been settled enough to take on pets yet.

Child free, semi by choice. Just celebrated our 5 wedding aniversary. We have 3 dogs, Sarge (8.5 year old St Bernard), Penny (6 yr old Bullmastiff) and Chloe (5 month old small mix). We just got a calico cat named Tessa from a friend who couldn't keep her. She is adjusting well to the HUGE dogs. Hope to get chickens soon!
