Childfree (by choice) Disney Lovers!

[franandaj]

We have always wanted to do that. Although I probably would have to shed a few pounds before climbing in a window would be a option.

Let us know how it os!

So how are all my Childfree Peeps doing? Excited about the Food & Wine Trips? Soon the schedules will be out!

OMG I think I'm going to pee my pants!!!!! Our friends are letting us have their DVC points for the year for just the cost of the annual maintenance fees!!!!!! We're going to be able to go and stay onsite for almost 2 weeks for less than $750!!!!!

aren't they out already? I thought I saw someone post about it about 2 weeks ago or was that a heavy adult bev night! I think the trip we're trying to plan falls during F&W again but we were really kind of disappointed in the whole thing last year compared to previous years. That being said, that special event thing you all mentioned might make it much more enjoyable! We'll have to see!

Eating and drinking around the world.

Eating and drinking around the world.

I guess technically I don't have to wait for the Food and Wine to eat and drink around the world.

that is correct, we made a half attempt in May, so this F&W since we will have newbies with us, we have to show them the ropes....

That is very cool! I'll have to remember that for good friends. I would imagine you are staying in a studio to be able to stretch the points like that. What resort will you be staying at?

How would you respond to the following proposition?

I think having children (and raising them to be successful, offspring producing results) is the reason we're all here

I have trouble thinking about such assertions in terms that would make sense and be non-confrontational at the same time.

I am not sure if I, as a person who is child free by choice, would be able to contribute anything that would be non-confrentational when reading something so degrading.

I would love to know who could be so narrow-minded to believe this? You must not have much "self" worth if you think the only reason you are here is to procreate. That is pretty sad if you ask me.

Sorry.

Wow! Just WOW! The reason that you can't respond without being confrontational is that the person you quoted has already initiated the confrontation. To suggest that our lives have no purpose other than to breed is the sort of brainwashing that leads to teen pregnancy, overpopulation, and neglected/abused children.

Some people are born to be good parents and others are better off if they realize parenting is not for them. I knew when I began engaging in behavior that could get me pregnant that having kids was the last thing I wanted. I thought it was my age, but as I got older and even married a man I still could not wrap my head around the whole concept. Whether it was the thought of changing diapers to carting the little brats around to various sports & music classes, or the thought that I might raise some psycho or they would have a mental condition and come back as an adult to physically or mentally abuse me. While with men, I knew it was my "duty" to procreate and carry on the family, and I dreaded the thought of it.

Now 15 years later, I do a lot of work with a community band. I am the "mom" for these people, and that is plenty for me. We create joy through making music. We bring joy to others through our music. You should have seen the happy people at our 4th of July concert yesterday. I think creating joy would be more of my purpose, whether it is in others or just myself. I have devoted enough of my life caring for those around me that it is my turn. That is why we own DVC, enjoy the finer things in life and have a renewed outlook on things.

My sister however, has taken care of the procreation. She has three children, they are poor living paycheck to paycheck. Her middle son has Asbergers and my BIL constantly jokes that he will grow up to be a Felon. They never vacation and have at least 14 more years of this. She will be 7 years away from retirement when she can throw the last kid out, but is too kind hearted for that. She will probably retire with kids still in the house!

No thank you. I will take my childfree (by choice) life.

Oh newbies. I remember when I was one lol! I still have not tried the Grey Goose Slushie!! They have yummy plum wine slushie thing in China at that tea place. Makes me want one right now haha

Yeah I agree. I want to ask if that person is joking.They don't have any kids so I wonder why they would feel the need to say that is why we are here on earth. What about people who can't conceive? Does that mean they shouuldn't be here? Seriously I wonder about some of these posts.

I am not sure why, but post really lit a fire in me... I know that most of us on this thread are like minded people and we all have different situations in our life that makes us unique but really, this person believes that my only lot in life, the only thing that I am worth is my ability to have a child. This is just asinine.

More story is complicated, but suffice it to say I have been raising other peoples children since I was 12, when my own parents divorced and I raised my brother. I have raised my first DH's kids (2 DDsb (31 and 33) and now I am raising my second DHs kids (DS-26 and DD-18). I call them all my kids b/c I love them and would do anything for them, within reason.

But I have not given birth to a child, by choice!

My DH and I love our life, we are happy, educated, and world traveled. We too like the finer things in life and we LOVE it. So maybe I was put on this earth to support and love my husband and maybe he was put here to love and support me.

Ughhhh, stupidity and narrow minded people piss me off.

Thinking about the Orange Slushie has helped me calm down....


Last year there was a torched Cherry Colada, and I have recreated it many times at my house.... 2 cups Pina Colada mix, 1 cup Torched Cherry rum or more if you like, and a splash of grenadine for color, blend with ice and serve....Makes for a great summer drink.
