Ah, the trials and tribulations of a childfree life! ๐ŸŽญ Apparently, having an existential crisis over Netflix asking about your non-existent offspring is a real issue. Because nothing screams "serious societal problem" like being mildly inconvenienced by a streaming service. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

My imaginary children aren't using your streaming service

Whenever I start up Netflix, I'm asked if I want to create an account for my children. I don't have children. I don't want children. I find most children annoying - not yours, obviously, yours are lovely. But I resent being asked every single time whether my imaginary kids want an account. It's just annoying. I can't imagine what it is like for bereaved parents who have recently lost a child. Or for those struggling with fertility issues. That constant reminder every time they try to numbโ€ฆ

Me, too.
When I "encounter" children, it in no way makes me feel broody, it just reinforces I made the right decision to not reproduce.

Nothing like a hot summer weekend to remind me why I chose not to have children.
No regrets.

Some really sad stories from people who were child-free by choice, but ended up having children for a variety of reasons; from coercion (even rape) and accidents to 'simple' regret.

As a child-free woman myself, my heart goes out to these people, as I have never regretted my choice for a single second.

So if you're on the fence about having children, or actually made the choice to stay child-free, this is worth a read.

I've never wanted children, but the one place that always hammers that choice home is an airport.

We're staying in some lovely apartments on holiday. They're mostly one-bedroom and the communal pool is wonderful as there are no massive selfish families occupying six sunbeds with their towels from 6am (that are never actually occupying them). Apparently, towels are removed after a while by pool guards. Good. ๐Ÿ˜‚
No screaming kids, peace and quiet.

Iโ€™m 53 and have never wanted kids. Itโ€™s not a judgement on parents or kids. This article really resonated with me:

The adults celebrating child-free lives

From consciously child-free influencers, to online communities for people whoโ€™ve decided against having kids, the no-kids movement is booming โ€“ but so is the backlash.

I'm totally fine with growing older. It's a gift. That being said, I'm not sure I'm going to get over being old enough to be my bartender's mom.
