Do you have many/any childfree friends?

in Childless not by choice

We are lucky in that the couple we hang out with is actually much older than us (not much younger than my parents actually) and while they do have children, they are grown and so not a topic of conversation that much.  Well that and we know (and actually work for one of them) their kids so it's a different dynamic.

My bff isn't married and no kids although I hope someday she is able to do all that.

    We are surrounded by couples with kids. Even my BFF is pregnant right now.

    However, our friends know and respect our situation and we love having lots of kids to spoil :)

    Neither my sister nor my best friend in the area have children. The friend and I have shared our infertility struggles with each other but she's a nanny so the topic of discussion is frequently about those kids. Before we got married, I sort of surrounded myself with female friends who all had a goal of being a mom. So everyone else pretty much has kids by now. I wonder what my crowd will be like when we move back to my hometown this summer. SIL will likely get KU soon so that will be fun (not sarcastic at all).

    My only childless friend is my BFF. And that's only because she's much younger than me and isn't in a relationship. Still, she knows and is very supportive.

    I'm surrounded by children and families. And it's made me a bit of a hermit.

    Dude, I'm totally a hermit. I'm okay with it though.

    I made myself a "I <3 being a hermit" tshirt.

    Maybe instead of being the Child Free board, we should be the hermit board...

    I'll need one of those for when I DO go to my parent's house!

    I'm lucky my husband gets me out of the house!

    We don't have any child free friends :/ We used to have DH's best bud who never wanted kids and I thought we could always have him.. then we found out through the grape vine about 2 months ago that his girlfriend is KU... still haven't heard it from him yet though lol.  I guess they aren't that good of friends any more!
