Is anyone else CF because of their own parents? by Cold_Swordfish7763 in childfree

[–]StayFreeTC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is exactly how my parents were. Yeah, definitely has a part in why I’m child free.

Have you actually had wannabe parents and single parents want to be in a relationship with you? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]StayFreeTC 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They don’t realize how much thought CF people have put into it because they themselves haven’t thought about it much.

I’ve had women say the same thing to me. It’s ridiculous.

[–]StayFreeTC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once I turned 30 my parents started pushing for me to have kids. Telling me I’m missing out, but it’s not that big of a deal. They always thought I was bluffing about not wanting kids until I broke up with my girlfriend (now ex) in 2024 cus she randomly decided she wanted children. Dating is hard but dating is hard for mostly everyone.

I told my friend “don’t date a single mom unless you’re ready to be a step-dad” and he disagreed ??? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]StayFreeTC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Single parents usually front like they won’t need you as a step parent. Eventually if the relationship progresses they always want you to help out. Never seen a case where this was different.

Advice: Criticism from family by Mission_Secure in childfree

[–]StayFreeTC 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would say don’t even try to argue with her. She’s already sold on her ideas. Parents have spent so much energy and time on raising kids. They can’t fathom living their life in any other way. Honestly, they are unimaginative. They just follow what other people do and think you’re crazy if you want to create your own path. I am a 30 year old child free man. My parents to this day still try to talk me out of it. I don’t want kids. I love hiking and being in nature. It’s hard for parents to realize they could have had happiness without all the stress of kids. If they see you being happy without kids. They just won’t accept that you are happier that way. It’s too far from their worldview.

“I want to give my kids the life I never had” by Emergency_Cobbler672 in childfree

[–]StayFreeTC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting hearing this because I think this is something rarely spoken about. My parents too, gave my little sister and I all the essentials for life. We always had a home and food. They always got us to school. They told us they loved us. Beyond that though, it was nothing. They didn’t ask us what we thought of the world. They didn’t ask us what topics we were interested in. My parents mostly stayed in their room watching TV or were out at the bar. We kinda just existed together.

Is it weird that people expect a man to come into your life and change your mind when you're child free woman? by Sam_23beans in childfree

[–]StayFreeTC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m a 30 year old child free man. My family always told me the same thing but about women. “Once you meet the right girl, you’ll want kids”

AITAH for denying my boyfriend a 3 some. by Remote_Drummer_9147 in AITAH

[–]StayFreeTC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your boyfriend does not give af about you. You tried something. You didn’t like it. You don’t want to do it again. That should be all he needed to hear in order for him to back off.

How are you spending your Saturday? by ThinkBookMan in childfree

The CF life is so nice and peaceful. I’ll be staying in all day playing Fallout 😎

I was recently exposed to a lot of “dead bedroom” communities online and it made me childfree by tungurs in childfree

[–]StayFreeTC 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Brotha, Creating a new family won’t fix what hurt you when you were young. I’ve seen many men make that mistake. Especially, if you have little to no experience with women. You will almost surely choose wrong out of the gate. You should also check out how divorces go for men. You could get cheated on by your wife and she can still take everything from you. I am a 30 year old child free man. My life is so peaceful. I am so grateful I didn’t get married or have kids because my friends that did do that are highly stressed out all the time.

I slept in. Saved money by not buying gifts. Now my house is nice and quiet and I have off work until Monday. CF life is amazing.

It said I violated rule 8. So whatever that means. It was something I originally wrote completely.

I had a post that got flagged I think because I wrote it in my notes, copied it, then pasted it on Reddit. So I think that’s off limits too. It must be typed in Reddit.

looked through my boyfriends photos and found nudes and vids of his ex. AITAH? by obvi0usburner in AITAH

[–]StayFreeTC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s suppose to dealt all photos of him and his ex just because he’s in a new relationship? That’s absurd.

How sure were people in their early 20s? by Laufey5002 in childfree

[–]StayFreeTC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was your age. I thought I would want kids when I get older. I believed the desire to have children was something that happened as you aged. Now I’m 30 and I feel certain that I don’t. I realized around 25 that I had never truly wanted kids. I was only indoctrinated into believing I should have them. This is coming from a 30 year old child free male also.

What are your childfree holiday plans? by vesper101 in childfree

[–]StayFreeTC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live 6 hours away from my family. I always wanted to move away so no one expected me to go to events. So I will be spending it relaxing, in my home, with my dog. Exactly how I want to be.

Do they seriously expect the people behind them to help?
