The Childfree Connection- About Us

We Live a Happy, Childfree Life

We both made the decision to be childfree long before we were a couple. There are so many challenges that present themselves in a relationship so it was comforting to come together initially and feel grounded about this particular choice. Being childfree has also allowed us to work on those challenges and fully commit to the health and prosperity of our relationship.

We love having a channel where we can sink our teeth into childfree topics and share our research, expertise and personal experiences.

In this video, Rick describes his childfree journey, opens up about dating as a childfree man, losing friends to fatherhood and his family’s opinion on not having children. He even revealed a secret assumption about my choice not to have kids that I had NEVER heard before...

I knew that I wasn't being pulled towards motherhood but there was so much judgement and pressure coming my way that the idea of not having children didn’t seem like a choice. I did "change my mind" a few times (for reasons outside of me that I now clearly understand). My strategy in my 20s and 30s was to block the pressure and criticism as best as I could but I quickly found out that I couldn't ignore the constant doubt and fear swirling in my head. I took action and did extensive work to remove any shame and walk down this path with peace and confidence! Today, my heart is full with all the love that fills this community.

Ever since I can remember, the thought of wanting to have kids never entered my mind (although I figured that I would "have to"). I came from a large family so although the notion of a home with no kids seemed strange, I instinctively had no desire to experience the same. I often worried about what my life would look like without children but as I grew older and became more self aware, the thought no longer haunted me. In fact, being childfree has allowed me the time to reflect on my decision and look at my choice in an entirely whole new way. I look forward to sharing my thoughts, experiences, perks and fears of leading a childfree life and connecting with the community.

Question

We are criticized by society for treating the creation of human life as a decision that should be heavily evaluated and thought through. Yet, those who have children and can't emotionally, physically, mentally or financially support them are praised.

Wouldn't it be a safer and more loving world if being thoughtful about this decision was the norm?
