Childless by choice, and proud of it! Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with reproducing and carrying on the family name but it's just not for me. My oldest sisters both have children and think I'm a freak for not wanting any of my own. The way I see it, after you have children your kids get prioritized over your spouse, and I just love my marriage too much the way it is to have it changed. Also, travelling definitely is much more difficult. You either have to find a family member to look after them while you're gone, or pay double to take em with you.

Last but not least, and this is probably going to hurt some feelings out there, but here it comes anyways: I don't see the point in reproducing more children of my own where there's millions of them out there in orphanages praying for a loving family to adopt them.

People think us anti-babyists are lacking that maternal instinct by not wanting to reproduce, by the way I see it, we're not lacking a single thing we just have a different set of priorities.

I bow to the sacred Metamucil--although I prefer the non-sugar-free.

psyllium husk be veddey veddey good to me

Trivia: Did you know that the majority of psyllium is grown in India?

should we visit the deep wipe poll again?

I probably wrote the same thing about the no-wiper. Then again, it is worthy of celebration when it happens.

Have I mentioned my large bladder volume?

I'm jealous of your bladder! I pee ALL the time! I don't have diabetes so it may have something to do with how much water I drink

Same with me Amber, I not only pee a lot, but when I feel like I have to go, it's pretty much a I have to go now or I'll pee in my pants need. I also never had any insulin deficiency issues, my sugar levels are fine, and there's no explanation for it apart from the fact that I drink water like a nut.

Agreed 100%.

Child birth is an extremely selfish act - it's a statement to the world that says two things:

1) My DNA is better than yours, so I will not adopt

2) I don't care about overpopulation or the world's problems - I want a baby and I'm going to have one and #### you all

Is this now the golden shower thread?

Where the *bleep* is Charles today???

Man, he'd be all over this material.

He's been awol for hours!

He's not allowed to do that, don't you guys know you're all here for my entertainment, and I expect the VJ circus to be going on 24X7 to amuse me?

no tickling either. I have been known to pee myself. I don't even try to hide it.

When my girlfriend was pregnant about 25 years ago, I asked her WHY would she want to have a baby.

Her answer was : Because I want one !

I thought that was rather selfish.

I've been known to disrupt nice long walks by the beach 'cus I had to run back and find a bathroom as soon as we reached the beach.

I think Charles! found a vibrator...

or something...

[Amby 490]

I disrupt right before sex. I'm like oh gotta pee brb.

You ladies might be interested in the Freshette:

It allows you to pee standing up--very handy if you have to take a piss on a hike or find yourself in a less-than-sparkling roadside bathroom. Even with my LBV (large bladder volume), I occasionally have to pee. The Freshette is also fun to use recreationally (e.g., at home).

That's basically it.

I think this kind of attitude is well summarized in this post.
