I've just recently registered and am basking in the glow of having found a bunch of like-minded folks! I am a 38-year-old child-free female. I work as a defense contractor in the D.C. area and enjoy cycling, yoga, movies, anything with alcohol in it, food, trying to follow politics, raging against religious zealots, and laying around on my ass and generally being able to sleep a full night, every night.

To everyone else - I'm the middle child amongst 4 total, so don't think that only onlies strive to be CF. Truth be told, it was nothing really that my parents did or my siblings did that made me CF; I actually hated what children did to people who used to be my acquaintances, or friends. (I'll tell you bluntly: none of it was ever good.) In addition, in a job where people hate it so much that they NEVER want to come in and work when there's a call-out, it really sucks to know that virtually all of the latenesses and call-outs that we DO have are invariably from lazy, irresponsible moos, and that since our job sucks and nobody wants to come in on their day off, that all of the unfortunate people who DID show up for work that day are forced to pick up the slack.

Hi everyone!
I've been lurking for a short time and have finally decided to join you guys. I'm a 16-year-old from New Jersey and while I'm not sure if I want kids, I'm terrified at where society is going. Our sense of true compassion, reason and responsibility is disappearing and this is one of the few places I know of where it's still there.

Truth be told, if you're not horrified by our vitriol you're probably more than welcome to keep lurking here. :lips I don't think anybody is trying to "throw you out", so to speak, I just think that this is more of a hangout for %100 like minds (at least regarding the subject of children). Mostly because, as people pointed out upthread, there are a good number of sites out there already that cater to fencesitters (and some that even allow parents themselves to post...hopefully they're PNBs).
Just don't want you to think that you can't ever come back if you change your mind and decide to go completely child-free. Some of our older members and SOs of older members once had stepchildren or were fencesitters, after all.

You could equally well argue that onlies don't have much experience dealing with small kids, and so are more inclined to have incorrect perceptions of childhood.
I wasn't around them much as a kyd- but when i was, I couldn't STAND the little cunts! any kyd more than a couple years younger than me was a BRAT, as far as I was concerned!

I don't know if anyone has ever done a study to look at whether more CF people are onlies, oldest, middle, youngest, or what, but I can't imagine why it would make a difference. You could equally well argue that onlies don't have much experience dealing with small kids, and so are more inclined to have incorrect perceptions of childhood. Or you could flip it around and say that people are onlies because their parents had CF leanings - which were inherited - but weren't able to act on them.
I believe it is a matter of natural inclination for many of us, and experience for the rest. Even if it could be demonstrated that a disproportionate number of CF are onlies it wouldn't show causation.

No need to worry about me talking about fence sitting, I can tell this is more for breeder hate/snark/etc, which is what I'd rather do.
