"Hurray I'm registered!"(use this thread to introduce yourself)

I have been lurking for awhile and finally decided to register.
I am married and a teacher. I don't mind kids, just don't want one in my house. I sometimes think my job cemented my childfree status. After spending all day with kids I can't imagine having one 24 7 in my own home. I have two pet cats and feed one feral cat outside. I am originally from Michigan, but now live in Ontario, Canada (husband is Canadian).

:1welcome

Hi, I hope I have finally found the right forum for me. I've been looking and looking...:lips

I want to meet other women like me....Most women my age (35) are in that baby rabies stage of their life if they don't have a litter of cracker spawn already by 10 different men

In the Southeast, its is too church-y and women are brainwashed into following "the script" way too much-marriage, kids, so-called bliss, or so they say...I am eccnetric by today's standards.

I am married, one year by now, hubby talked about wanting kids during our courtship luckily I have talksed him out of it by now. We have pets.hankyou

:1welcome

I'm from the Southeast too so I know exactly what you are talking about!

What state, vampa? I live in Georgia. Born and raised Peach.

Right next door, SC born and bred.

Have lurked since the 2012 holiday season (people's idiot kids and my family's attitude were partally why), and I have decided to join.

Mid-20s, little bit Goth, whole lot of emo, I don't consider myself to fit into a gender, disabled, from a very large evangelical/12-step obsessive conservative family, have known I was childfree since I was a child myself, compared to Chris-chan far too often, spend my time mostly online & listening to music. Into old weird cars to the point of being obsessed, sick of the natalism and speciesism in this world & especially the US

If there are any toy car collectors on this board, you may know me as "GothicCarsUrban" on Cobratoys and Swifty's Garage.

:1welcome malmsteen!

Thanks, mumofsixbirds!

:1welcome to all of our new members!

If it makes you feel any better, my favorite No Kids Allowed resort is in Mexico. I am making my 7th trip the past 5 years in the fall!

Hello!
I've been lurking for a bit, and finally got up the courage to join! Would rather have cats and dogs any day than any mini humans! Unfortunately, I get told on a regular basis what an 'amazing mother' I would make. I live in a rented place that doesn't allow pets at the moment, but hopefully buying a house soon, so I can keep all the animals I want

I'm a brit in my twenties, and a librarian at a school for kids 16+, and they are usually okay by that age, luckily!

YAY another library worker!!!
:1welcome

Thanks! and yes, the books and journals don't scream or poop!

Here's a thread I did in the Patio about cars -
http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?7,273917

I just bumped it back to the first page also, in case others are interested.

I LOVE CARS!!! Don't get me started! I love ALL the cars! For my own - I usually have some kind of (recent) foreign sports car. I have hundreds more in my mind that I would like to have and / or rebuild / customize

My first undergrad degree is in Mechanical Engineering also.

Is that a Rambler in your pic?

:1welcome

Welcome to all our new friends here! :1wv

Zzelda, nice to meet you! I'm currently without a car, but the most recent interesting one was a 1964 Oldsmobile Cutlass that I had to sell because I lost storage of it and couldn't keep it in the dangerous neighborhood I lived in at the time. Most people thought it was a 442.

The car in my avatar is a 1/43 scale Dinky Toy Holden (Australian car) that I bought in a very filthy condition with no tires and restored. Got several toy car projects on the bench right now, including a 1920s fire engine, a Skoda rally car and a Trabant.

Hello,

My name is Anna and I'm from germany (that's the reason why my english also sucks *

And let me tell ya': Germany isn't save for breeders either. I can tell you a lot of stuffs my fellow countrymans doing here, like, making a live broadcasting from a delivery room in a hospital in Berlin (which was thankfully cancelled), making a law, that making childfree people paying more taxes (also cancelled) and much more...

Welcome Anna !!! It seems you come from a "Twilight zone" , where nothing makes sense. These zones are all over the world, worshipping children and mothers. A better world awaits you here:1welcome

Thank you very much barren! And yes, I will feel me ver well here. I just don't know, who I can talk about these breeders. Everyone wanna have a baby. Even my old jobmates who flaunt thier baby bumps and thier little loafs. You can't even watch your TV without seeing these breeders (Gosh, they even have a rip-off of "16 and pregnant" here in my country!).

Also, we have a lot of IRL people who think, pragnastys were wonderful and a miracle.

Thank god, I have my half-brother, who's also childfree, so I can talk about that topic all the time.

Willlcommen annabanana!

Don't worry about your English. It's much better than my German.

hey all!
i'm so glad to find a space like this. i have hated brats, loved cats and been disgusted by pregnancy as long as i can remember. my significant other and i have actually been TOSSED OUT of restaurants and REPRIMANDED at our gym because we (GASP!) have tattoos and don't look "family friendly" (a literal quote!) and therefore upset all the FAMBLEES, particularly the wombmen and their snotnoses. (our gender ambiguity is most definitely part of the problem, but they really can't say that now, can they?).

i love indie rock as well as lots of other genres of music, play guitar, bass and drums. i'm obsessed with scuba diving, reading, writing, skateboarding, cats, traveling, paragliding, surfing, etc. btw, i'm 37, and my parents constantly ask me when i'm going to "grow up" (ironic, huh?). meanwhile, my SO's mother realizes that there are no brats coming from this end, and have started pressuring her other kid (my SO's sister) to have baybeez. Well, my SO's sister has diabetes. And her boyfriend doesn't want to be a duh. But, you know, grandzilla madness is in effect, and now SO's sister is pressuring the boyfriend to have a brat. We all know how that ends normally--broken condoms and break-ups. But since she has diabetes, it could be a more ominous ending. My SO is begging her not to become in pig, but given the brainwashing that all girl children endure since birth (ever see five year old girls pushing around baby strollers while mommy is pushing one too?) and the additional fuckery dished out by grandmoo-wannabe, I am not anticipating anything good.

my SO and i looked over 'breeder bingo' and have heard EVERYTHING on the bingo sheet before. i am gender complicated (to say the least) and, dare i say, trans. one of the most striking memories in high school was looking at a drawing of the "female reproductive system" and thinking to myself, "funny, it looks just like the head of a cow". after the lecture by our health teacher, i wondered why any one capable of pregnasty would want to inflict that kind of misery on themselves. they should all wear t-shirts that say "I had the nine-month shit and i didn't even get one stinkin' orgasm". but of course, they probably faked orgasm and punched holes in the condom to get their sperm and egg omelette.

i almost got into a bit of a tussle yesterday for telling a moo to take her "blood sausage elsewhere" when the little shit dared to pull at the harness on our cat. (we have an adorable tonkinese who rides on our shoulders and accompanies us to the cafe and bar across the street from our house). when bratleigh waddled up and yanked at sophie's harness, SO told moo and duh that this was not welcome. at this point, moo made that phony "don't you loooove baybeeeees, isn't your may-un overreacting?" face at me and i didn't give a fucking inch. of course, then came the usual "i feel so sorry for people who treat their pets as bay-beeees",...it eventually led to the blood sausage comment.

the funniest thing of all was that duh had previously been talking about surfing with myself and SO while we were inside watching a baseball game (with sophie on his shoulder!) and moo was outside with Bratleigh. this was before i knew that he was a duh and had a moo and a baybee. i should have been tipped off by his rueful "i never get to surf anymore," and "my wife hates when i drink". funny, all of his fury at his now-shitty life disappeared during the confrontation between his famblee and us. i'm sure that he just wants to stick his dick in moo each night, and if he doesn't 'defend the famblee' he won't "get some". pathetic.

okay, time for us to go to the gym. we go at eight p.m. to avoid the majority of the famblees. yes, we don't want to deal with breeders and brats, but the manager of the gym actually told us to not go during "prime hours" because our "appearance upsets some of our more conservative members", and if we "ever decide to have kyds" we might "understand". GRRRR. we'd be out of there in a second if there were other gyms around in the same price range that had the same amenities. not all childfree people look 'counterculture', of course, but i feel that those of us who do are subject to more assholery due to the rationale of "but, the chullllldren!"

What hellish place do you live in that they can so openly discriminate against you on the basis of your appearance, pregnastyisrepellent?

Seems like one of the many trolls I have seen looking at old posts or back when I was lurking, and a lot like a lot of LiveJournal CF posts. I'm not going to feed the potential troll anything more than saying that I am sensing the presence of a troll, and that the post seemed to me like something written by a depressed teenager who got a hold of every oft-used CF catchphrase and just learned what CF is.

Hello everybody!

I'm in my early twenties, studying to become a librarian at an all-girls university in Minnesota. I have been vehmently childfree since I was fifteen, mainly due to being forced to babysit my younger brother who has autism. (and it is real, he has been diagnosed, but he was given intensive therapy by a close relative and is now almost normal except for his speech). I, too, have gotten the "you'll change your mind", mostly from my coworkers. Ironically, I work part-time at my schools' daycare center, but I'm a secretary so I'm in the office most of the time so I don't see or hear the kids much. (It was one of the few jobs I could find on my college campus). I've been told I have superhuman senses because I'm extremely sensitive to shrill sounds, hence the main reason I don't like kids. I love animals, but I'm allergic to cats, which is a shame because I think they're great pets. Anyway, glad to be here.

:1welcome Hello to all of the recent newbies! :biggrin2
