"Hurray I'm registered!"(use this thread to introduce yourself)
Posted by zeropop
I've been lurking since the old Bratfree board and have posted 3 or 4 times as 'Cantrip' and 'Happy Hermit', so I thought I'd finally register and join in more. I'm more of a 'listener' than a talker but I get my 2 cents in now and then. 
thundergirl- I came here from TCFL a few months ago. I felt the same way as you. I was tired of having to watch what I said, and I never felt comfortable over there. I never knew how awesome and supportive people could be until I came here. We are a close family, and I feel like this is my home. Glad you are here.

Hi everyone
I already posted on one thread so thought I should introduce myself. I'm a 39 year old Brit (Scottish) who currently lives in the la-la land of Dubai with my husband and cat. I've been increasingly fed up with the rampant pro-natalism I see all around me, and this site is a breath of fresh air in pointing out the logic-free bitchiness and hypocrisy of it all - I love it!
I need to sometimes get off my chest how DEEPLY TEDIOUS I find it when people go on and on and on about teh baybeez and expect me to be interested, or expect me to want to do kid related stuff or not mind if their brats tag along. I can count on the fingers of one hand the brats that I don't mind being around for any length of time, and that length of time is always as "short as possible".
I'm also tired of the thinly veiled jealousy from so-called friends. Me & the husband are lucky enough to get to do quite a lot of exciting travelling and fun events (I do Ironman triathlons & other endurance type stuff, and they're often in exciting far flung places). Being able to do these things is due in no small part to not having sproggen to drag round hither and yon, and there are a few people who can never restrain themselves from making the "must be nice" type of comment, and until I had my consciousness raised by Bratfree I could never put my finger on quite WHY that pissed me off SO much! :scr
Anyhoo, I like it here. When I first lurked my hair stood on end at some of the terminology, but then I started laughing and I haven't stopped since. Big thumbs up to you, bratfree-ers and I hope I can join your happy gang :jump

" from making the "must be nice" type of comment"
always reply "Yes! Yes it IS nice!"
I am practising the stupidly huge grin I make when I say it
I didn't understand the subtext of what was being said before, so I'd always just say "yeah, it is nice" (thinking WTF does that even mean, "it must be nice"?
). The barely restrained jealousy had absolutely passed me by, which must have pissed them off no end! I see that I have been going wrong by NOT saying "ahhh, poor you, your time isn't your own since the kids, is it, but that's because you're such a GREAT MOTHER, I'm sure you could do whatever you set your mind to with a bit more time", which I now understand is the "correct" answer, justifying their existence and making my achievments smaller in one fell swoop. Ah well not something I'm feeling bad about, not one bit.|

Hello Everyone!
I've been reading this board for several years, but I was never much of a poster. You've offered me a safe haven where I can read & sympathize & know that there are plenty of happy, fulfilled people out there from all walks of life that feel the way I do.
This board has also been extremely useful in providing me with intellectual ammunition against people who disagree with my choice to not have any children. So I wanted to register & say thank you & I look forward to reading for a long time to come.

Hello everyone, I posted earlier on I got bingo'ed thread and decided to make an account after reading the welcome thread. I'm 18, 19 in about half a month though. I live in canada bc and I have one older sister, in case you were wondering for the only child thing. I hated being a child and hated other children, always hung around the adults while growing up. I despise children, and thankfully to having a bunch of nasty illnesses(which otherwise I'm not too fond of having), they helped me understand that following the life script is an optional thing. I'm currently waiting for my gynecologist consultation re essure, its on Dec 11th wish me luck! I'm a crazy cat lady and have 3 cute tortoiseshells I love them to death, they're not like children more so like best friends/siblings....my cousins are all starting to go baby crazy, well at least they don't have to worry about losing their thin bodies, as most of them are 200-300+lbs. And thankfully they're far far away from me.
Oh and btw saw something awesome on america's funniest home videos(only like the animal parts and where kids get hurt I hate how the kid ones always win) this guy had a life size 4-5yo doll dressed in a costume and used it to get free candy, that was awesome. I've always hated Halloween ever since I was 11 everyone called me too old to trick or treat treat, wouldn't give me candy etc, my sister never had that issue even at 20 -_-" no free chocolate for me
last Halloween, the kids who keep trespassing onto our yard to skateboard knocked on the door, the lights were off, so they started yelling and kicking the door "I know you're in there come open the fucking door and give us candy" yeah.....this Halloween brought back nasty memories and evil childish sounds and this site brought me great relief. So thank-you all sorry for the rant and nice to meet you guys!

Hi guys! Like a lot of others I've seen here, I found this site to be superior to the moo pleasing TCFL. I'm twenty-four, married, and just sick of the entitled bullshit I see from breeders and their little crotch droppings. I've known for about 3-4 years that kyds weren't in the cards for me, and I'm really relieved to find a site where I can rant about WIC cunts without hurting any feewings. So, thanks for being truly cf here hankyou
