I have several friends, cyber and IRL, some both, who are single fathers. Some share custody with their kids’ other parents and some have primary custody of their kids. But every last one of my friends who are fathers are actively involved in raising their children. They are absolutely NOT absentee fathers. They aren’t even [...]
I don’t pay much attention to the more popular “feminist” blogs, as I’ve found them to be completely dismissive of childfree individuals, favoring instead the furthering of a pronatalist point of view, to the detriment of those who have chosen to forego parenthood.
That being said, I do still occasionally pop over and read some [...]
As a childfree woman, I read a few blogs that are written by childfree individuals. Similarly, as a feminist, I read a few feminist blogs. You would think the stories/issues covered in those blogs would be similar… at least once in a while. Not so.
This morning, I got to thinking that I hadn’t seen [...]
I’ve blogged about childfree zones on airplanes and obnoxious children (and their ignorant parents) in movie theaters, and Jack Cafferty’s take on modern parenting and what it begets, not to mention the mommyblogger who admitted she allowed her child to kick the back of the airplane seat in front of him/her throughout an entire cross-country [...]
I didn’t think it was possible, but I actually think even less of Kate Gosselin now than I did when I wrote this.
While perusing Google News, I happened upon this article in New York Daily News regarding the out-of-this-world ratings the season premiere of Jon & Kate + 8.
What happened Monday, in fact, took [...]
Okay, I caved. I admit it. Bloggers and Facebookers and “entertainment television” ad blurbs have been talking about the “Jon & Kate + 8” saga for a while now, including rumors that their marriage was on the rocks due to infidelity on the part of Jon, on the part of Kate, or perhaps both of [...]
According to a survey by TripAdvisor, 79% of Britons would like childfree zones on airplanes… and that 79% is reached by 88% of childfree folks voting for childfree zones, as well as 71% of those who are parents. Yes, that’s right, 71% of parents believe there should be childfree zones on airplanes. Maybe that’s because [...]
More and more, I’ve been hearing from people about ill-mannered people and their children in movie theaters. I’ve had a few bad experiences, too.
There was the time the kid behind me was kicking the back of my seat and her parents did nothing, so I turned around and told the kid to knock it [...]
In continuing my thoughts on “kids these days/get off my damned lawn,” I thought I’d mention a relatively new phenomenon – something that I don’t think existed way back in the stone age when I was a wee lass. Or, if it did exist, the occurrences were few and far between and it was so [...]
I had something else planned to blog about today, but frequent-reader-and-occasional-commenter Ron was kind enough to forward me a most excellent article which just makes my little heart sing…because, you know, misery just loves company. And who doesn’t like a wee bit of vindication now and again?
It seems that The Situation Room’s Jack Cafferty has [...]
Are children less welcome in public than they used to be? Maybe. Maybe not.
From my vantage point, and from the reading I’ve been doing lately (since I was accused of lying about my own experiences as a child), I’ve come to the conclusion that if parents are getting the feeling that society is becoming [...]
I’m toying with the idea of adding a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly feature to EriePressible… a series of essays about being childfree.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while, especially in light of the recent blog brouhaha between parents (specifically those who self-identify as mommybloggers) and the childfree.
I mentioned doing something similar to this (discussing [...]
