Im glad you enjoyed it. I think it's pretty rare that a major network show manages to cover CFers in a positive light.

Thanks for posting this. It's rare to see an interview purely focused on the choice to be childfree vs. the age old debate.

One thing that stuck out, and I have seen it posted here and mentioned just about every time the childfree by choice discussion comes up...that it's selfish. I don't know what makes the choice to not have children selfish. Chat Icon

I really don't get that one either. The whole "you're just selfish" argument just seems to not hold water to me. If one were so inclined they could easily argue that HAVING children is the most selfish thing to do. Chat Icon

If a couple wants kids or doesn't want kids I think that is totally up to them and they should not be questioned or ridiculed for either decision.
