    How do you remain "child-free"?

    To answer the original question, I have PCOS, and I'm on birth control pills to treat some of the symptoms of PCOS. So the PCOS makes it unlikely that I could get pregnant, and the birth control pills make it even less likely. However, if I did get pregnant, I would make the best of it. I think...

    Whats the right way to answer this?

    Sorry I'm coming into this thread late, but in response to that question I think I would smile and say in a lighthearted way, "Your child is certainly adorable, but I don't think anything in this world could make me want one of my own!" Funnily enough, I was asked a similar question last night...

    You were a child once!

    Yeah, I was a child once, but even when I was a child, I didn't enjoy being around other children. Other than certain rare individuals whom I became good friends with, other children were always so loud and hyper and silly, and didn't talk about anything interesting. I always wanted to hang out...

    My mother-in-law died

    Yes, I'm fine. :) Thank you for asking. :hug: My various health problems are under control now, and I'm doing very well. I have to put a lot of effort into it though (diet, daily exercise, stress management, regular doctor's appointments, etc.). I've been very self-centered lately, just focusing...

    Do I have to be MARRIED?

    Hey, California Dreamin', it's great to see you here! (I took a break from the forums for a while, but am back now.) The Childfree forum is the best and I'm glad you're here. :)

    Conversations in the restroom?

    I had to chuckle at the above quotes. There's obviously a huge cultural difference between where you guys live and where I live. You'd probably love it here. I live in a very casual city. No one dresses up here. Not for church, and not really for anything else, except possibly weddings and...

    Interesting article on childless/childfree

    Some of those comments are really depressing. How can some people be so narrow-minded? Jesus' yoke is easy and His burden is light, but the yoke and the burden that some other Christians want to put on us is crushing.

    The Prayer Request Thread

    I've tried a low-carb diet in the past (before I knew I had diabetes). Unfortunately, I found that I became extremely nauseated while on it, and had terrible symptoms of low blood sugar.

    The Prayer Request Thread

    Snooch, wow, I had no idea you had diabetes. Yet another thing we have in common. :) (Well, not that this is a good thing to have in common, of course.)

    The Prayer Request Thread

    Thanks, LoisGriffin and trvlgurl. :hug: Thanks for sharing this. So have you lost weight while on the Metformin? My doctor is going to put me on Metformin next week. The only reason she hasn't prescribed it yet is because she doesn't want it skewing the results of my next round of blood...
