Because people use the All feed.

Wait... This isn't a place I can get a free child?

I was child free until I wasn't?

Lil guy is pretty cute.

Saw this when browsing everything, normally I'd let it pass but I felt called out.

I totally support the child free community. Was pretty sure I'd be amongst you all.

I hope most in the child free are not aggressively against children, I knew someone like that once, not a cool person.

I just saw your post and never heard of this community. So it's your fault Im visiting 😂.

I think hearing from parents and getting insight into their perspectives is interesting and worthwhile. Provided it's not an unproductive dog pile of "you'll never understand true love" or "you're just selfish" nonsense. I'm secure in my position of being a childfree person, nothing another person says or thinks will change my mind or make me doubt myself or feel ashamed of my choice etc.

I'm childfree because I want to be and because I simply don't want to raise children. I'm unlikely to regret not doing something I've never wanted to do in the first place. I also don't want to be a surgeon or learn to play the oboe or dedicate my life to a religion or climb Everest or any number of things that take time and dedication and commitment and effort for a result/purpose I'm entirely uninterested in experiencing personally.

I also love and whole heartedly support my friends and loved ones who are parents. They have an immensely difficult job that I certainly don't want to do, and they impress me all the time with how much care and dedication they pour into being parents. I learn so much by holding space for them and my perspectives on life are enriched by listening to theirs. My own choice to not parent is also consistently reinforced by their stories and shared experiences lol.

I feel like a live and let live approach goes a long way in supporting open and productive dialog when it comes to this particular subject.

It's a feed on a community with like 10 people.

I’m on “all” not really interested in the community. You do you tho. Have kids, don’t have kids. Whatever.

Anyway I’m saying most of the parents are coming from all. Source: I’m a happy parent and I’m here.

I scroll all and only block communities if I have 0% interest or if I feel the community is really looking to be a place just for the people into it. The sidebar does not really say anthing about the group so I don't see why parents would not get into the discussions if it moved them.

IDK, I can easily see some parents posting to a community like this to say something like "Don't do it! I did, and it was a huge mistake..."

Opposite side of the coin from the common "You'll understand when you have kids of your own".

I just sort by all and my ADHD brain comments before I see what community I'm in. I'm trying to do better.

My kids are both out right now, I think I'm child free, no?
