Sometimes when I think about the reasons I am child free, I default to the normal ones. Too expensive, they annoy me, too much responsibility, all of it. But when it really boils down to it, the reason I’m child free is days like yesterday. Woke up around 9 (or whenever we decided to wake up), had some coffee, and decided to wander down to a local farmer’s market. While we were there, had a spontaneous brunch, and bought a few things we wanted, but definitely didn’t need. Then after we ran a few errands. We were sun exhausted by this time, so we came home and took a two hour nap. Then some friends hit us up to come over for a few drinks and cornhole around 8 pm. And we went and stayed till after midnight. Literally NONE of these things could have been done with children. We would have had to worry about babysitters, and feeding schedules and bedtime, and so many other things it makes my brain hurt. Living on my own schedule and doing whatever I want when I want to will always be the most important reason for me. Being limited by a semen demon would make me so depressed. As I’m typing this, I’m watching Netflix with a mimosa while the hubby is at a video game party. I love my life and would never change it.
