We all choose the path that we feel is the right one for us to choose, sometimes its not the case and one regrets it later on in life but not always if its a choice that has been made with time and consideration. I’ve been CF for as long as I can remember, and its only gotten stronger as the years have progressed. Getting married didn’t change my views as many thought it would, though it does help that my hubby is also CF. Congrats on the web site hun, good to see you finally went though with it.

Gabby,
That is fantastic news! I am happy that there is at least one person on your side within your family. Because you’re dad might help you deter agro during the dreaded family parties. This ally particularly comes in handy when you’re not in the same room… when family usually likes to talk about other people. :o/

I really truly COMPLETELY agree with your reasons. I don’t want children either, and the ONLY person who hasn’t insisted I’ll change my mind is my father, who told me that as long as I was happy, he didn’t care about grandchildren.

Thank you for the book recommendation. I will have to look into it because I haven’t been able to find a good “pro-childfree” book. The ones I find are written for childless persons or from an authoritative position by parents. Just not the same.

I just read a book called Nobody’s Mother…it’s pretty great and goes along with many of your points.
