Trying to get this board moving sooo....

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...

As a couple with infertility, i always wonder what their "issue" is! Chat Icon
But for the most part I think ppl would say:

selfish or financial concerns

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.

"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".
