Childfree (by choice) Disney Lovers!

Hmmmm- DO TELL!

Not really that complicated... boyfriend is 60, never had kids, never wanted kids. He works at home, so he'd be the one raising hellions, which he doesn't want to do. Also, we're both in show business, which requires us to be out of the house a lot of nights, at Broadway shows, etc. And we live in a 1BR in Manhattan.

Showbiz!!!!? Cool! What do you do if you do not mind me asking? If you do mind- tell me to hush and mind my own business

I can see if your BF is 60 and no kids yet, why start now!!!? No thanks! ITA!

ETA- Have fun in Disney!!!!!!!!

Welcome Erica!!!

We got a "no kids" bandwagon going

I like how you came to the rescue on the plane. I am very surprised the parents did not have snacks! Isn't that a parental requirement! Snacks and a DVD player They should tell people that when leaving the hospital with their newborn.




OMG Kat!!!! That is AMAZING!!!!!!!

I always say sweating like a piggy gets the pounds off quickly! When I started on my diet- the pounds fell off just by doing 20 minutes every day of the Biggest Loser b/c I would sweat like a pig- it feels so good! And it was SO easy- no jumping around etc- just moving around a lot. Bob is the man! I don't like that chick!

Thanks everyone for the good lucks and all!! I think I am really ready for the race. Averaging a 12-14 min mile right now, and I have lost almost 25 lbs since the beginning of Jan!

kat that is awesome!!! I'm sure you'll do great and I'm sure you're really happy about the weight loss as an added bonus!! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Cheryl- We love Middle Eastern food too! I think we might try Kouzzina one night b/c we will have one extra TS credit.

That is the new one on the Boardwalk, right? You'll have to let us know how it is.

We like to watch Mo'Rockin! That chick is awesome! Does she do the belly dancing inside the restaurant too??

They have several different ladies who dance. I think they change day to day, but if you go a few times you get an idea of who to expect where & when.
MoRockin is Great -- I got my Belly Dance teacher hooked on them too.

Is Chris slacking!!!!? No french toast? No yummy breakfast?!!

I only get that on Wednesdays when I work at home. This morning he didn't even roll out of bed until about 10 minutes before I was leaving for the office. I have to confess I'm a bit envious of being able to sleep late every day. But I figure he should enjoy while he can... he'll be back to the grind soon enough hopefully.

Just wanted to say hello all, dh and I are childfree by choice and have been married for 5 years. I am way more of a Disney fanatic than he is, but he is more than willing to get dragged along by my planning binges If I had my way we'd be at Disney at least once a year!

Just wanted to jump on the bandwagon I am 28, married and child free by choice. I find it funny how many of us have cats, I currently have 4 and 1 foster kitty. I wonder if the "no kids" gene is attached to the "cats please" gene...

Welcome! You'll see we are mostly harmless to ourselves & others!

I love the "cats please" theory.... wonder if we could get a govt. grant to do a study on that?

And we live in a 1BR in Manhattan.

Hey, a fellow New Englander...
You getting hammered by the snow too?

On the good front... I heard a Red Wing Blackbird this morning. That is as sure a sign that spring is around the corner as seeing a Robin!
Thank goodness, because too much more of this weather & I may snap.

 

[roomthreeseventeen]

We got about 10 inches of snow. YUCK.

Yes- used to be Spoodles.

Hey! The snow skipped by us this time! 10" in Manhattan!!!? I am only 1.5 hours from you and it is warm here (45!)- this weather is insane!! I know one of the past storms (think it was 2 storms ago for us) we got almost 2' dumped on us and North Jersey only got a coating!

I loved Kouzzina. Had lamb there too, and almost licked my plate as well. So good.

Hey Everyone!

Holy frijoli have you people been chatting, it took me an hour just to catch up and I'm sure I'll still miss something!!

Popping in to say Hi and join the thread.

Beautiful dog, love his name!!

Just wanted to say hello all, dh and I are childfree by choice and have been married for 5 years.

But I think it's only fair for parents of any child, handicapped or not, to take responsibility for their child's behavior no matter where they take them.

ITA!! People who have special needs children should know what that child can handle which includes flying on an airplane, going on amusement rides, etc.

DH and I usually look at each other when we come across those kids and and say "Better them than us!" and continue strolling along peacefully!

This is DH and I too!!

You know, I just remembered something today! I said no one ever made a rude comment about me being childless, I was wrong. Someone made a comment elsewhere that I would not be a good mother b/c I like Marilyn Manson!

The person is just worthless and I would not even comment on their stupidity. But I thought that was pretty rude.

Wow, what a totally rude thing to say to someone!! I supposed you would be a better parent if you were abusing drugs & alcohol!!! LMAO!! I know, I know some lurker who gets their nose out of joint at that one is probably gonna flame me!!

We had a lot of turbulence on that flight. I really wanted to turn around and tell that little girl that the turbulence was God's punishment for her whining

Alesia I loved that statement, how funny would it have been if you actually said it!!

Thanks everyone for the good lucks and all!! I think I am really ready for the race. Averaging a 12-14 min mile right now, and I have lost almost 25 lbs since the beginning of Jan!

Kat that is so awesome that you've lost all that weight since January!! And good luck in Disney both on the race and enjoying your vacay!!!


You guys have definitely made me want to add Kouzzina to my list of restaurants for our next trip! I love Marrakesh and yes there is a woman doing belly dancing inside the restaurant. She was there with 2 men playing the sittar (sp?) and a small drum. She would invite the dad's & kids up to dance.

Probably the same lurker who made the Marilyn Manson comment

I swear if one of those lurking trolls decides to post here again and give us a hard time I am reporting them to the Moderators and get their booty's booted!!!

I am right there behind you. The whole reason I signed onto this thread was to not discuss kids. Last thing I want is someone jumping in to spout about their kids or their opinions on kids. Don't get me wrong... if folks want to chat about other stuff (like food ) welcome & join the conversation I don't care if you have kids or not. But don't divert the topic to something the thread name explicitly says we are free from.

Happy Hump Day Everyone! Half way to the weekend.

So we still have no phone, cable or internet at home. Comcast's craptastic customer service! Said they would be there yesterday afternoon. Not so much as a call back & no show on the service guy. DH called & gave them an earfull last night so they should hopefully get it fixed today. Of course we won't get a credit for the down time will we?!?

DH is actually at a job interview this morning. He was nervous -- he has to take a test (which I've heard of for his type of work). He was nervous. Think last test he took was back in high school & let's just say it has been a few years since then...

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Crossing my fingers for DH!!!

Cheryl- I would ask for credit from the time they did not show up! I HATE Comcast techs- if I can do something myself- I try. Never fails, they come in a screw crap up, unless they "fix it" from outside.

Do they even have to come into your house or can they fix it from outside??
