Childfree (by choice) Disney Lovers!

[maddhatir]

What if I had another one and it was a dud? Let's be honest it can happen.

OMG Alesia!!! I am peeing That never crossed my mind. I always thought they meant, they would like the freedom and less responsibility.

So, thanks for keeping me out of jail.

We are here for ya! Even if you need bail money!

Good friends bail you out of jail... Great friends are in the cell next to you saying, Hey, did you see that?!?!?!

I can see where you're coming from. I had a really rough day at work today (which is why I'm up at midnight). Kid about 5, in the same clothes he was in on Saturday, smelling like he's been in the same clothes, at the library all day, just hanging out. Was able to get the free lunch they offer during the weekdays during the summer because we're in a shared community building, but no dinner, and bored stiff- wanting to do anything to be useful to someone. His father was home, but sent him to the library to be out underfoot "cuz I'm a bother; am I botherin you Miss?".
No honey you are now my super assistant. Made him a badge and he felt important the rest of the day, gave him little things to do, including coloring decorations for my walls. But how can you treat your kid like that?!?!?!?

I always heard it this way......
“"A good friend will come bail you out of jail, but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying...'Damn, that was fun!'"” ...

That is SO sad, and disgusting!

What you did was so nice

That is horrifying! That poor kid. URG some parents make me so angry. I'll freely admit that I don't have the most patience when it comes to children but that's why I'm (gasp) not having any.

ITA.

A few months back I was at SIL's house. She was having a party and a bunch of my niece's friends were there (she is 8) well, the kids were not being very nice to this one little girl. It broke my heart!!! She was so cool, adorable and sweet! So, we told her to come hang with the grown ups.

I think that was the very FIRST time I ever said I would like to take a kid home with me b/c they were so cute I know!
I think like book junkie, it was just a moment of weakness It's rare, but it can happen!

 

[book_junkie]

My hubby and I agree... it's not weakness... my job is birth control... He helps out ever so often, and meets me for dinners since I work late three days out of 5 that I work, and that's enough "kid time" for him.

I alway see tons of cute kids when we go out, esp at Disney. I also say to hubby don't you want one. His answer is always NO! He says he is tooo old to have a kid. There are times when I think I really would like to have a kid but then I couldn't sleep in or watch True Blood or listen to Stern. You know things like that so I guess I am a bit selfish.

My mother really should have been childfree. She is always telling us she shouldn't have had kids. Thanks mom!

I must admit, I never said "I think I want one of my own" or "don't you want one of your own?"

Me and a friend of mine used to have this conversation..... We are both hockey freaks- need to watch the games on TV with NO interruptions. We said, how in the world can you have kids when you NEED to watch hockey!!?

My mother really should have been childfree. She is always telling us she shouldn't have had kids. Thanks mom!

Sometimes my mother will say to me- "if your brother was born first, there would be no "you""
I was an angel when I was a child My father would say he could hand me $5 and I would say thank you- he would hand my brother $5 and he would keep his hand out and want more

Not selfish - sensible & responsible.

 

[lakelandgal70]

I was also the angel of the family. I think my mom just wishes she didn't have kids so she would have freedom. She is always making comments when they were that age they couldn't do that or this because they had kids. Well not my fault

That would drive me nutters trying to watch something and having to be interupted by a kid. Heck being interupted by an adult is annoying. Can't people sit and watch tv or movie without talking. Too much talking going on in life in general. Let us try to be silent like the monks. Oh that would be my dream hahaha. My sis said the other day to me if I would end up in a wheelchair due to my condition and my hubby was dead she would want to take care of me. Um I don't think so. I told her I wanted no one living with me, period! Don't get me started on the fact we would have to provide her with a place to live when my parents die. Ya know maybe we should move and not let anyone know where to hahahaha.

OMG- DH and I say that all the time. "Let's just jump on the bike and keep riding!"

I think I would if my mom did not live with us (she is in the MIL suite we built onto our house) I told her already- "DH and I are planning on getting out of this expensive %%%% hole (NJ ) within 4 years. You either come with us.....or..... don't. It's your choice."

ITA with Cheryl!!!!

I guess if you did have kids you can always send the off to the library b/c they BOTHER you

 

[book_junkie]

then promptly sent back home

 

[HockeyKat]

^and a gallon of cherry koolaid.

 

[lakelandgal70]

Ok you guys have me laughing

We want to get the heck out of Florida but kinda stuck here due to husbands job. I would love to move to mountains of NC or TN. What part of NJ are you in mad? I have friends from Cape May and they say its horrible and expensive.

Glad to have found like minded Disney people who also happen to be childfree!!

 

[onnawufei]

I saw that sign hanging in a booth at a local festival a few years ago, and wanted to take a picture but didn't for some reason. I love it!

Apparently when my mom had me she decided one was enough. I think I was six when she had her tubes tied. Apparently I was a handful.

Of course then she went and married a man with four kids...

I am in Marlton. It's about 1.5 from Cape May. We are about 20 minutes from Philly.

I would like to be close to the Blue Ridge Mountains in VA- however, DH sails, so he needs to be near a lot of water I said how about a big LAKE!?

then promptly sent back home

HA! I have this sign in my kitchen! Right next to my "Hippies use back door- no exceptions" sign.
