Iandysgrl has written a new article about a paper she wrote for her class. The topic? Being childfree! You can read the article here (and don't forget the link inside the article to the full paper!) http://www.thechildfreelife.com/index.p ... e-be-heard

Great article.

We have started telling people that we are CF and so far the response is better than i had expected.

Great article! Great blog!

Must be difficult to live in baby country and not have any. I have a CF friend that lives in SLC. She has a "childfree, non-mormon" cul-de-sac. They are all good friends that get together frequently. How rare is that?!

Strangely, I've made more CF friends in SLC than I have in Denver. Maybe we seek eachother out and cling to eachother more in a baby rabies state like Utah.

I can totally relate to loosing friends to parenting. I lost a bunch in my 20's, then a bunch in my 30's, and even a few in my 40's.

Thank you for your article and for sharing your paper with us. I really enjoyed reading both of them. I'm proud of you for taking such a difficult stand, and I'm happy for the way things worked out for you and Andy.
