I’m feeling especially happy to be childfree and wanted to share. I have off from work and am spending the week home with my husband and dogs. The house is so peaceful. I’m getting in hours and hours of digital painting practice. I can’t fathom why anyone would voluntarily choose to care for a kid for 18yrs, rather than have that time for relaxation and to pursue interests/hobbies. Working fulltime already makes me feel like I don’t get enough time to simply enjoy life.
Why are you two in this community then? No offense- more power to actually attentive parents- but the whole point of being here is appreciating child-free life. Thanks for having that quality as a parent, but holy fuck that sounds exhausting. I’m so glad that I can spend what little free time I have paying attention to my own responsibilities and interests instead of someone else’s.
