The community is called childfree, you'd think everyone here would be at least somewhat opposed to the concept of having children.

Person disseminating extremist views complains people don't let them isolate with other extremists to become even more extremist.

Person was promised a social media bubble and it upset it doesn't work that way.

Much like the real world does not work as simple as the simple minded people want to make to believe.

    The fuck is extremist about "I don't want to have kids"? I'm just surprised there are so many parents on a community for people who have decided for whatever reason that they're better off without kids in their lives.

    Some people shouldn't have kids. Especially not those that don't want to have em. Know plenty of people that do that privately and I can respect that.

    And then there is the child free movement that is like the vegan movement. Can't go a breath without telling people about it and trying to convert more people.

    As a parent that rubs me the wrong way. There are a lot of people missing life experience that a advocate to miss one of the things with a potential for the most profound experience in their lives. Endangering it for others thinking that know it all. Its a little like a Catholic priest advocating against marriage or against sex. Its a topic he can't possibly know anything substantial about because observing is not the same as doing.
