Coffee, Chaos and Cuss Words

Yeah....I'd been struggling with the name of this blog for a bit. Finally hit me that this blog, should keep a theme with my other blog. So....My Crazy Childfree Midlife is now......Childfree Moxie!  Gods...that just feels so much better...and I'm all over social media.....woohoo....!!! So, this will be primarily for my Childfree musings...no other subjects will be posted here except as to how they relate to my status as a person who is Childfree by Choice. If you want to get to know the rest of what I think and feel in life, then follow me on some of my other sites.... Follow me on Twitter: @Adelina313 My other blog: Mid-Stride Moxie- http://midstridemoxie.blogspot.com/ and on Tumblr, too! http://midstridemoxie.tumblr.com/ In the meantime...I'm gonna go grab some dessert and hunker down for an episode of Dr Who..... More CF goodness coming soon!  

I ran across a forum on Reddit (still don't get that thing) and the topic on whether those over 55 regretted not having children to look after them as they aged. Certainly this is not the first time I'd heard that issue brought up. In my own family, the pressure to breed or adopt was intense,  and it was always accompanied by a frantic query about how I would cope without kids in my old age. I've always thought it to be one of the most awful things to have children out of some need to make sure that someone has to be there to take care of you when you get old.

I always felt they were asking for validation that someone would be looking after them when they got older. I never worried about it and had always joked that 'I planned to be a burden on the taxpayers in a nursing home' when I got older. Now that I'm 49, I am consid...

I've decided to have a new little blog for my Childfree thoughts. Not everyone understands, and it's awful hard to find some CF sites that don't eventually get hijacked by parental units. I don't want to spew venom but this site will not be taken over by those who need to declare how much they love their kids while they troll CF sites for some undercover vicarious living.  This is strictly for people like me....Childfree by Choice. I don't hate kids, but I never wanted them....ever. And now I'm married to a man who also never wanted kids. We are both around 50 and enjoying life and the choices we can make because we can focus on each other.  More to come...just wanted to get this started....
