The Guide to Great Childfree Living.” Michelle Nolan has profiled the book and author in her article, “Bellingham psychologist’s advice book reflects her child-free life.” It’s nice to hear about another resource to help people understand the reasons people are childfree.

I’m still working on the site.  Things are a little crazy here in the real world lately.  I live in Philadelphia and it’s been quite a winter this year!  Things are going well though, still have to get more content up and work on the design a bit more and we’ll be ready to officially relaunch.

I understand that some people really do hate children and they have a right to their personal preferences but this is not the entire childfree community.  I think the childfree community gets such a bad reception particularly because of this type of anger.  This is a big part of why I started this site, to explain that people who have made the choice to be childfree are not all hateful angry people.  We don’t cheer when children are harmed or killed or hate parents.  I have a great deal of respect for good parents.  As long as parents respect my choice to not have children I will respect their choice to reproduce.  That being said there’s nothing wrong with having a place to vent the frustrations we have with screaming children, pressures to reproduce and the like either.

The article is interesting and the comments provide an interesing perspective from how “normal” people view the unusual arrangement.

No kids, no jobs for growing number of wives.

First we were childfreechoice.com then we became childfreechoice.org but with the same site and goals. This time we’re starting from scratch. We’re going to try something different and hopefully, this time, actually be a good little webmaster and keep it updated and all that jazz. What we hope to be is a resource for the childfree community and a launching point to get like-minded individuals connected. Being a childfree person in a world of breeders can feel pretty lonely and maybe, hopefully, this site will provide a little corner of the world where we can come together and discuss the things that matter to us.


Thanks for visiting and we hope to see you back soon! :)
