Childfree

As I was strolling through the popular YouTube videos today, I found one that I was pleasantly surprised by.

7 steps of making a baby – “In fact, I would argue that whether you find babies cute is not necessarily relevant to whether you’ll enjoy having a baby.”

I hope you find this as refreshing as I did. :o)

This new year seems to be very good to me. I got back from Las Vegas yesterday and I had a great time! I went to CES where I learned about new technology and got to play with a few toys. The videos I shot are uploading but here are the images for the new interactive child replacement toys. The Pleo baby dinosaur and Paro baby seal are easier to take care of than any child or a real pet.

Childfree is the way to be in 2010

I want to thank you all for your stories and support. There are so many people out there that give us a hard time for choosing our childfree lifestyle, but it really is worth it. I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year!

I have heard many people talk about the absolute necessity that women need to have a companion. Whether this companion is human or animal, women just feel the urge to care-take and not be alone.

Now I find that very “needy” and unreliant on ones-self ability to keep occupied, but I think I understand now. I’ve been broken up with my boyfriend for over a month now and I found that my last “time of the month” was just so incredibly difficult for me. Upon calling my mother she told me that sever depression and sporadic crying is just an inherent craziness. Thanks mom.

So this made me think, do women feel like they need to have a child because they get depressed every month? Their hormones tell them there is absolutely no way for us to survive the rest of the day unless we conceive right then and there. I find this very interesting that we have been programed to feel needy right when we are most vulnerable.

To tell you the truth, I would rather get a cute puppy than a screaming baby to be my companion. At least this way I can have fun while I’m feeling needy, as opposed to staring at the baby staring back at me. That doesn’t sound fun or exciting at all.
