How many of you are childfree by choice? (page 4)

Little Toe: Clubbing I guess was just something to do with friends.

I was much more interested in going to Museums Art galleries etc.....

Yeah I like to go to the bars...mainly to watch people and laugh because people are funny when they are drunk.

What people do in this world to be happy is great....more power to them. I just don't like it when people think having kids is a bad thing. My favorite part in the day is reading my kids stories before they go to sleep. We are all different and have different thoughts...I just don't want someone to think just because I am a Mom I am not fun anymore and I have boring parties at home.

Dustin can tell you of one night out with me is something to see!

Crumpet:
Are you telling us you don't use candy to cage the intelligence-challenged? Brooke:
So you never were actually all taht interested in clubbing as a pursuit?
Was that some kind of indicator of your maturity level, or personal interests (which appear to include mocking the inebriated)?

Crumpet...No Offence at all. Seriously I was just pointing out I am still fun.

I remember when I would look at a baby I would think they were cute and I would say Thank GOD I do not have one and I would go to bed. I remember that feeling. Now that I do have 2 kids both conceived on double birth control I say thank God I have them.

I have the best job in the world! When my kids get older I will be still young and ready to have a good time!

Little Toe: I am not one to Mock!

Clubbing to me was fun when I did it with my friends...I had a great time. It wasn't something I wanted to do as much as they did. I thought once in awhile is fine by me. Not everynight. However, it got to a point it wasn't fun for me anymore. I had a great time I did. Their night ended in something I didn't think it was that mature and something I thought wasn't cool. Going out was one thing looking for a one night stand was another. Meeting a guy you didn't know having a one night stand and trying to remember his name the next day is something I do not consider mature. I do not regret my decision of not going along with them all the time. I was one who went out and went home early because I didn't want to do something I wasn't ready for or wanted to be apart of.

I do not think everyone's idea of clubbing is the same.

I rather fancied myself more as the Queen in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang land - the one who instructed all the kids get stuck in the dungeons so they would not be seen nor heard. Far too posh to get my hands dirty with little urchins!

I think you are anything but boring - a very amusing girl. Also it boils down to the fact that perhaps people who have children in general are better than me because they are unselfish.

Folks I think your choice is wonderful. And if you regret it, which I am sure you won't. Just look around you at all the parents with grown children or teenagers that give them nothing but grief. Having kids a the greatest gamble one can ever do in this life, sometimes it turns out good, and many time it turns into disaster for people. In my next life if can remember this one, I swear I will never have children. LOL

Crumpet

i'm even thinking of getting my tubes tied.

I misread that and thought you;d written you were getting your "pubes tied". LOL!
Well I imagine it would be effective - if they were extraordinarily long!

Do you mean you don't mock, or don't like to be mocked?
Just checking

Meeting a guy you didn't know having a one night stand and trying to remember his name the next day is something I do not consider mature. ... I was one who went out and went home early because I didn't want to do something I wasn't ready for or wanted to be apart of.

Which is it?

I wanted children very much. I love my children very much. My daughter is 26. My son is 21. Their lives are tragic messes and they bring me mostly worry and anxiety everyday. I have my three year old grandson with me indefinitely and my nine year old grandson is coming to stay in two weeks. I love my grandsons with all the world. The thing is, I ask myself, how can I raise these kids well when I have screwed up my own so much? In the USA today, it's a huge challenge to raise kids and allow them to be kids. At least I am not a JW and that BS will have not part in my home or their lives.

I believe the decision to forgo having children can be a very wise one. Good financial planning would likely be the best bet for retirement security. Besides, you can make all kinds of friends through out your life who will stick by you in your golden years. Children may not stick by you.

Not at all! You choose to live your life and be happy single and free of children. I think it would be very selfish if you had children and stripped your happiness from you. I am glad you can be happy and loving life with out kids...wouldn't that be very selfish if you took that away from you? Selfish can be looked at many ways!
