What are the benefits of being a Childfree Couple?

1. I have more free time to pursue other goals. And I’ll be much more likely to retire early.


2. The spare bedrooms are all mine! I can use them as a guest room, or a library, or a gym — or whatever I wish!


3. No one can blame me for overpopulation, traffic congestion or urban sprawl. I’m not contributing to it!


4. More sleep! I get to sleep in on weekends, and no 2 am feedings. I won’t have to get by on three hours of sleep.


5. No pissing and moaning that my husband doesn’t do anything and I get stuck doing all the work. On the other hand, if you are a man, there is no pissing and moaning that your wife won’t work and all the financial burden is on you.


6. Less worry and stress in my life.


7. Not needing a child to give me a reason to live or give me fulfillment! I’m able to find happiness inside myself, not in someone else.


8. Fewer worries about body image, and I have time to keep myself in shape and looking better (and younger).


9. Every night can be a romantic night with no interruptions.


10. I’ll generally have more money and a higher standard of living. And because I’ll have extra money, I can put some away every month for my old age so I will have more security than just “I hope my kids will take care of me when I’m old!”


That's my top ten how about you?What are the benefits of being a Childfree Couple?
Wow..That's an amazing list. You sound exactly like me, and my husband. We have been married 13 years and are child free, and our life is VERY Fullfilling.


Number 10 makes me laugh. :) My Father is going nuts right now, because his ';Mother';, is driving him CRAZY. And do you know what the other ';son is doing?'; Nothing. He moved to Florida, so he didn't have to take care of ';Mother';. And do you know what my Grandmother said? That it was ';HIS (My Father's) Responsibility to take care of her, Not her OTHER Son. Nice huh?


Honey, believe me, your doing the right thing. We travel ALOT, go to the movies EVERY Weekend, Go to the Casino, Concerts, Musicals, Museums, donate 1/2 of our Paycheck to Charity, Do Volunteer Work, and so much more. Your list is RIGHT On, and I don't blame you at all.What are the benefits of being a Childfree Couple?
Pretty good list.


If I need children around, I have the option of baby sitting my brothers or sisters kids. Then they get sent home.





But let me tell you having them around can be pretty addicting. I guess it's because when they act up they are not welcome here for a while. Parents can't do that on a regular basis.
Seems like you have answered your own question. I have children and never wanted them. My life is full of chaos, craziness, and sometimes frustration, but my life is full and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Here's My opinion. you live the presesnt 20 years totally unforgatable.. and get old .. and before dying you realize you did everything only foryourself.. and left nothing behind you in the world.. ..





And this feeling is the worse.. it feels like you didn't finish what you started.. you didn't archive the greater purpose.. and that is raise an offspring where through him/her you shall live-on in this world...





That's why you should live, to give beginning to a new. before the end comes.. you can always enjoy life.. if you have a good husband. a husband that can work.. value your efforts.. who gets a maid.. and puts you first priority in life.. and so you should do.. family first.. :3 do you know how joyfull it is to raise and watch a child grow into a fine adult in your own hands? its the feeling of success, an acomplishment of building a life... :)
