Kim Kenney Bella's Married No Kids Back Pedaling????

Oh lord, PLEASE don't confuse us with evil Bella! We're the MNK Refugees - we don't want to be ANYTHING like Bella!!!! Our website is brand new (few weeks now) and is pretty inclusive to all things CF. We really strive to be a resource for the child free, not to cater to parents AT ALL. We really want to focus on what it means to be CF and why we enjoy it, and of course, to vent here and there about parents and children that bother us.

I really do encourage you to just go take a look at our forums to see that we are NOT breeder-pleasers. We don't have parents posting on our boards, but if they do, they'll be watched. We have strong moderation policies in order, and this is to mainly keep parents from bothering us ...

Very cool. I'll look.

I checked out "Childfree Life" and it does seem pretty cool!

Poor, poor Kim...she seems to have fallen into the parental-suck-up vortex. It's a pathetic shell of its once awesome self. I. Don't. Give. One. Fuck. About. Your. Kid. Period.

Thanks, Medusa! I appreciate that. I know the board isn't for everyone, but I do want to make sure that people do take a look at us before deciding that we're Bella Jr. or something.

Now that's what I called an advice for breeders.

Childfree people should not pander to people who decide to have kids.
It is sad to become lonley because I took the salvation route - by not having kids.
