I am childfree 33, childfree both by choice and by economic circumstances. I have a intense aversion towards baby's, doesn't mean others shouldn't get them. I used to think that instead of having kids, I could just be the cool uncle that babysits sometime. Turns out I really dislike babys. So, probably should never get my own.

Sometimes I get tempted by the wish, but then I am reminder that I prefer the risk of regretting not having children, then risking regretting having children. And while I do subscribe to the anti-natalist worldview, that only should dictate my actions, not those of other people.

I am very lucky to have a partner who is also childfree by choice.
