What do you think is the biggest misconception of couples that choose to be childfree?

Ditto! Another assumption is that childless couples are completely self-absorbed.

I agree that people think the selfish part...although i think its less selfish to not have kids because i know i don't have the time/patience for them...

Re: Trying to get this board moving sooo....
As a couple with infertility, i always wonder what their "issue" is!
But for the most part I think ppl would say:
selfish or financial concerns

-That we have zero committments on weekends because we don't have kids.

I don't know about you, but I spend my piles of $$$ on butt plugs.
Then I spend all weekend using them.

There aren't too many people in our lives that don't think this.
I know because they mention it often .

Re: Trying to get this board moving sooo....
"You don't have kids, so you wouldn't understand."
I may not know firsthand exactly what it's like to be a parent in whatever situation you're dealing with, but don't dismiss me as incapable of even understanding.
I have had plenty of experience caring for children as a big sister/cousin, babysitter, day care worker, and au pair, and have also had jobs as a camp counselor, tutor, and elementary school teacher. Plenty of my family members and friends have children. I may very well have had more experience with children than some first-time parents do. So I can, at minimum, "understand".
