And when I say childfree I mean people who have no desire to have children. Whether it be biological, surrogacy, adoption, etc. Not childless, because that's people who want kids but can't due to circumstances.
I see posts about what makes someone a "real man" or "real woman" is that they become a parent. That's not something everyone wants, and seeing all the posts and comments kind of make me feel out of place.

I don't have any children and I am not planning to have any, either.

So you can count me in.

Haha.

Sometimes people don't reply to threads, even if they might be a person who could join in a thread such as this one.

I'm sure that there are more childfree people on here.

Occasionally one of us gets barely upset at not having kids, but 99% of the time we're quite fine with it. We would have been much more limited in our lives if we'd been tethered by children. Not that we've done amazing things, but it's a financial, mental, physical, emotional, etc. burden that we're glad to be free of.

There's a thread on the front page of the GAD section right now titled "What are your thoughts on having kids as someone with asd?" & a bit of the replies fit the definition of childfree including mine :arrow: viewtopic.php?t=426984

I'm childfree, as far as I know.

If not, I'd like to remain ignorant.

I like how you replied to my comment literally. I'm unsure if you knew I meant the idiom "sweep under the rug"?

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, here. :lol:

I like making jokes that involve taking idioms literally, I understand most of them (even if I didn't as a kid), I just like messing with them.

Yeah, I'm confident enough in my intellect that I can make jokes where me appearing stupid is part of the joke. :nerdy:
