“Being childfree does not mean we don't like children; it means we don't care to have children of our own. We just want people to accept that: It's okay to be different, and not everyone has to have kids to be fulfilled. I do know some people get so much joy out of their kids. I see it in my friends who have kids. And I don't envy that, because I feel like I have so much joy in my own life. I appreciate theirs, and more power to them, but we have our own. This is our way of having joy.”

“Being childless by choice doesn't mean you hate kids,' wrote Jodi. 'In fact, my friends' children are smart, funny, loving, interesting people who just happen to be kids.”
