You reminded me of a keychain had years ago. It said "I'm not childless, I'm CHILDFREE!" We seem to be a lot alike, too bad you don't live closer. You are definitely right, Chan. Thanks for the advice. Mea, thanks. I'll check it out. LOL, Tallulah. You reminded me of a keychain had years ago.

It reminded me of myself and my crazy life with men. It's not now, which is sometimes boring, but it's better than the chaos of juggling. I see all my friends getting married and having kids, and I'm in my late 20's, but I'm okay. Not ready for kids, maybe never. Maybe never marriage either. Too much of a fuss! Anyway, I'd love for you to check out my racy blog, www.manicviolet.wordpress.com, and contribute, your a mighty fine writer. Best, Mea Honest blog.

Never wanted kids, this gene pool needs a good dose of chlorine. I struggled with my bipolar since High School. I graduated in the mid-70's and my bipolar was not diagnosed until the early 1990's. I knew I was a mess, knew that I could not raise a child and I also was smart enough to know that I didn't want to pass my genes on to a child and have the fear of them getting bipolar disorder, not to mention the other crap that runs in my family tree. I see what my friends go through with their teens - one of my friends, her daughter just had a baby, she hid the pregnancy from her Mom until the very end. I am SO glad I don't have to deal with that shit. I think it would have made me crazier than I already am. I only WISH that I knew more "childfree" people like myself. Lots in common with folks in that same boat. Hey, at least you are one of'em!! I’m 52 and have no children. Never wanted kids, this gene pool needs a good dose of chlorine.
