FYD,

I'm not lumping you in with the other childfree people that i encountered in this 'movement'. From your last post, it's clear that you can't relate to them either. I only brought this up because even though at one point in my life I was resigned to remain 'childfree' and appreciated this as a legitimate lifestyle choice and I was looking for others who felt the same way. However, I did not at all relate to this movement which promotes itself as recognising childfree as a healthy lifestyle option. I found the whole thing very unhealthy. I appreciate the pressure that people put on having children and that's part of the reason that I wanted to reach out to others. Anyway I don't want to hijack this thread any further.

I just wonder if there are any places where childfree people can gather without all of the 'childfree' unhealthy bitterness and anti-breeder nonsense. Not for me as I decided against remaining childfree, however, I do appreciate it as a perfectly valid lifestyle choice.
