    Living a fulfilling CF life require involvement with kids?

    I think being a vet tech is a wonderful calling to have. I don't know what I'd have done recently without a caring vet as we had to put our 5 year old cat down because of a liver failure,failure to keep anything in him, and rapid loss of weight. Animals are family members and someone has to take...

    "Why don't you want kids?"

    I found the article that was linked here to be rather strange and overkill. Most of the reasons they stated were no where to be found in the Bible itself. The one quote that was actually from the bible I do believe was taken out of context. I don't see how sexual relations with ones spouse is...

    "Why don't you want kids?"

    I've never had a kid bingo me before. Mainly it's been adults who have asked why don't you have kids or when are you planning on having kids. I don't hate kids, but I don't want to have to put up with them all the time either. I love my niece's but being around them for an extended timespan...

    God's plan for you vs. Really don't want kids!

    Neither I nor my husband have a desire to have children of our own. The way I see it is that God can give a person the desire if they are to be parents or make them parents. In my case we use two forms of contraceptive because I have an allergy that makes uniwise not to use the one form, as for...

    Let's discuss "selfish."

    You just seem to be taking your thoughts out on us. We are only trying to have a place where it really is safe for us to discuss things without judgement from those who have children. I'm also not sure why you are even posting in this forum (why you care to).

    Let's discuss "selfish."

    No offense but this is supposed to be a childfree forum. Those of you who post who have children should be respectful of what us childfree deal with from a lot of parents out there. We aren't saying that every single parent is going to behave that way towards us, but realize that a lot do and...

    Prayer

    I hear you, I get tired of being questioned as to why I am childfree and have no plans on having any. It's like us "childfree" are extremely abnormal and going against the grain of society. People are always happy to congratulate someone on being pregnant, but when they learn you aren't planning...

    Kinda over it

    I agree that their needs to be some level of connection / feeling of belonging within the church you go to. No one should have to dread going to church because of the people. I've been there before. Try out the new one, and give you're family the option of joining you where you end up on some...

    Tight Money and Christmas

    With the way technology prices have been dropping and holiday sales upon us you shouldn't have that much trouble finding a decent camera under $100. Be sure to check out Big Lots if you have one in your area as they sometimes get some special one time offers that are definatly worth the checking...

    Tight Money and Christmas

    T-shirts with transfers on them, homemade bookmarks for the avid reader, soda can holders, sunglass cases, playing cards with instructions for different games are some more ideas.

    Young Couples Pastor

    We were just introduced as our names by our lead pastor, but the second question out of the young couples pastor's mouth was do you have any kids. The first was how long have you been married. We told them we only had 3 furbabies (cats). The conversation then abruptly moved to what we did for a...

    Our new baby!

    I'm sorry for your loss. Your new kitty looks very sweet. We have 3 kitties. I'm not sure how old our oldest one is as we guessed he was about 2 when we took him in as a stray back in 2004. The others are 4 1/2 ish and 5 ish. I lost the cat I grew up with when she was 17 I cried all day when I...

    Young Couples Pastor

    Our church recently got a young couples pastor, and guess what the married couple has kids. For some reason I get the feeling that our lead pastor wouldn't have hired someone who didn't have kids or at least one in the oven being it's such a FAMILY driven church with a lot of emphasis on kids...
