Dude, that makes no sense. I was childless at one point (only a few years ago), so I definitely know the joys of being childless... And I'm not trying to make anyone a parent, I'm just saying that you'll never know the feeling of having your child hug you and make your heart melt.
Dude, just sayin', is all. |
Dude, it makes total sense. If one plans to have kids, one plans life to have kids. And once you have kids, they are there. Forever. You are not childfree once you have a kid, want a kid, plan to have a kid, etc. Until you have a kid, you are CHILDLESS. And you can't understand a lifetime of childfreeness if you have a kid, plan to have a kid, want to have a kid, try to have a kid, etc.
Your use of "childless" as opposed to "childfree" is most telling.
But frankly, I think trying to explain childFREE as opposed to childLESS is usually lost of parents, people who want to be parents, etc. Similarly, I generally just don't get women that spend tens of thousands of dollars to have children (IVF, etc), and none of the CF people I know really understand the desire either. |
Dude, you don't have to convince me. I get it, truly. I totally understand the desire to be free from kids; I just don't happen to have that desire...
And to those who are responding without starting with "Dude":
Duuuuudes... |
