Just to give you all a glimpse into my twisted psyche... :) Last night, I had a dream that my husband and I decided to adopt a baby. The process went very smoothly, and soon we got a phone call saying the baby was at the adoption agency and we could come pick him up. When we got there, we...

After my husband and I moved to this city a little more than a year ago, we started shopping around for a church here. We eventually (around April of last year) found a couple that we liked. They have services at different times, so we continued to go to both while we made up our minds. We have...

Sorry, I had to delete.

I wanted so badly to post this afternoon, because I had one of the worst episodes EVER with someone concerning my childfreedom. But apparently the site was down, so I couldn't post, and I was very frustrated. I've calmed down a bit now, but I still want to share this. I'm going to copy and paste...

So, my husband has been asked to preach a sermon at church. Knowing my mom would be pleased, I called and told her. She got really excited and said she was so proud of my husband, and so proud of me for picking a good Christian man who the pastor thinks is on-base enough to preach a sermon at...

So, I was in the supermarket yesterday, and there was a toddler screaming unbelievably loudly and seemingly endlessly. This was one of the worst episodes I've ever heard in my life (and that's saying a lot!), and the kid never seemed to tire. Even other parents in the store were shooting annoyed...

I've been getting to be friends with a woman at church, and everything was going along great. But then she recently invited me out for lunch, and during lunch she mentioned that she's noticed that I'm not very outgoing. She then said, "You know what would fix that? Having kids! Kids are...

My husband and I were invited to a barbecue this weekend. We ended up being the only couple there without children. The host wasn't planning to fire up the barbecue until a couple hours after everyone arrived. In the meantime, the hostess was planning to put out chips and dip to hold people...

My mother-in-law is engaged!! To a good man who has grown children, one of whom already has children of her own! I pray that this will satisfy my mother-in-law's desire for grandchildren! I know she doesn't care if her grandchildren are her own flesh and blood, since she puts pressure on us...

I'm starting a new thread because I didn't want to derail fuzzymel's thread about children crying. I was talking about how I have sensitivities to many things, and that's one of the main reasons I don't want to have children. I mentioned: Then snoochface said: And now I'm replying...

A woman at church told me that if we intercede in prayer for others or for the church, we should hear from God personally about what to pray for. I am wondering if this concept is Biblical. I can't think of where the Bible mentions that God will tell people what, specifically, to pray for...

My husband doesn't have a driver's license, so I do all the driving. And I've noticed that when we first meet new people (and being new in this city, we've been meeting a lot of new people lately), they often act surprised to see me driving instead of my husband, and they'll make comments about...

Children aren't key to women's happiness: study

Do any of you have people who you know are praying for you to get pregnant, even though they know you don't want children? My mother-in-law has told me she's praying that I'll either get pregnant or we'll change our minds about adoption, because she wants grandchildren. Now my mother has...

This may sound odd, but I often think that elderly people are a lot "cuter" to me than children are, and tug at my heartstrings more than children do! My husband has this one older uncle who I think is just adorable in his little-old-man way. My husband has similar features to him, so I...

My husband and I were shopping in Future Shop last night, and as we were about to leave, a man and a woman had their shopping cart positioned diagonally in the entrance/exit while their child stood in the child seat of the cart and they tried to coax her to sit down. Between the position of the...

As many of you know, my British husband is going through the process of getting his permanent residency here in Canada, so that he can live and work here permanently and without restrictions. It has taken quite a while, but we're finally at the final stage. And it's at this stage where they want...

My husband and I have recently moved to a new town (because he accepted a job offer here), and we are eager to get involved in a church here and hopefully make some new friends. We checked out a few different churches when we arrived in the fall, but since early December have settled in one...

I have a new mp3 player, and although I have carefully followed all the instructions in the manual, I've been unable to transfer any songs from my computer to its built-in flash memory, because I keep getting an error message that says the disk is write protected and that I should remove the...

I was just contemplating the flack some of us get for being childfree. Why do you think some people feel the need to give us a hard time or question our choices? Why do they even care? I've been thinking that maybe some people who have kids feel threatened by those of us who are happy without...
