Finally Updating
Yes I am still childfree. Yes we are still dealing with many of the issues that brought me to blog in the first place, but life gets in the way. I still get emails and messages hoping I'll update now and again, so here I am. I'm going to try to blog weekly, but we'll see how that goes. There's certainly plenty for me to sound off about.

Yay! I've missed you.
Awesome! You're back!
I'm glad you will be updating- It is so nice to see someone who feels how I do. I recently found your blog and love it. I am 27 and I am totally feeling pressure from family and all of my closest friends have babies or will be having them soon. I am not as open about it as you are. You have such courage.
It is hard for me to understand everyone's intense facination with babies. I was sitting in the doctor's office yesterday and a woman next to me had a baby crying as her ring tone on her phone. The longer she waited to answer it, the louder and more intense the crying got. All I could think was "Really?!?!" Who would want to hear that every time their phone rang- certainly not me.
It's nice to know there are others out there with similar experiences! I look forward to reading your new blogs.
Hi I hope you are able to update more, I'm having a hard time finding blogs written by people who don't want to have kids but aren't incredibly mean spirited..
I just happened across your web site and have been reading some of your old posts. I'm a reporter with the Chicago Tribune. Hoping to speak with couples who choose to be childless or postpone pregnancy for a story we're researching about declining birth rates. I'd love to pick your brain on this topic if you are open to speaking with a reporter. Thanks very much. My contact is tmalone@tribune.com
Hi, glad to stumble upon this blog. My husband and I are both 31 and we've been married for almost a decade (started young, obviously). He saw me through graduate school, and now I am a clinical psychologist who works primarily with children. I love children, they fascinate me and move me and I am auntie to a handful of wonderful small people. However, I just have no drive to have my own. My relationship with my husband is so fulfilling, rich, and peaceful - and full of lots of sleep.
hi i found your blog through a random google search and as i was reading, felt like you have been inside my mind! i am an asian woman, 31, married for 6 years and can't figure out why i don't feel like having children. what amazes me is even though you and i come from different social circumstances, how similar the contexts are...awkward family get-togethers, sullen faces of my parents when they hear about new arrivals. i used to think this is because i live in an asian, traditional society which expects everyone to fit a certain mould. reading your blog makes me realize - hey, there's not much difference even through we live miles apart. Really related to what you have expressed. Keep writing!
hi, i am a male 32. and my girl gets really upset, in these family/social gatherings.
i would be really interested to know - how you handle these circumstances ! keep writing !
I just found your blog and have to thank you. I'm 31 and my husband is 40. Having kids never felt right for us. I have health issues that could make it dangerous to be pregnant, and now I think it would be selfish to have a child when my husband would be 60 before it graduated high school.
Just last night my sister-in-law gave me the whole "you'll regret it when you're older, it's different with your own, your life must be so empty without kids" speech. I needed your comments. Thanks so much!
