Why I Love Child-free Women

Many people have asked me why my focus is on serving child-free women and thought I was making some kind of big deal about being child-free.  Of course, these people were usually parents themselves or men who haven’t had to experience the challenges many women face around their reproductive choices and social pressures.  
 

Little do many people know, the experiences of child-free women are quite unique in the world.  I have been organizing a meetup group in the Guelph-area and have learned a lot about what it means to be child-free and some of the common experiences.  Here are the reasons I like working with child-free women:

1)      They are usually up to something interesting. They are interested in cultivating their passions and they delve into their lives to become people who know some interest things and perspectives. There is a natural open-mindedness because they have already questioned some fundamental socialization

2)      Many of them like animals and will have their own pet babies.  They can even extend this to being more environmentally conscious/aware and will work on creating projects that help the earth.

3)      They care deeply about conscious parenting. That’s right! Many child-free women have their opinions about poor parenting and will encourage anyone who has a child to do it well and full-heartedly. That’s why a lot of people think that the irony is that child-free people would actually make the best parents in the world. But we know all too well that we couldn’t do it well because our hearts aren’t in it.

4)      They are willing to examine and look into and resolve their childhood issues.  They have the time, ability, space and forward thinking to understand that they want to have more happiness, freedom and awareness in their lives by shedding the past. They may even have the anger from childhood wrongs to know that they don’t want to perpetuate the cycle with young people in their lives.

5)      They want freedom and happiness. They love doing what they love and don’t want to compromise or get entangled into human dramas at the sake of their freedom. 

6)      They will seek out personal growth and fun experiences.   They know that there is more to life than struggle and want to expand themselves. They will do everything from going belly dancing to workshops on success to finding how to grow more intimately with their love partner. They want to experience the fullness life has to offer them.

7)      They want to be genuine and honest with themselves.  They have come so far in standing up against forces that want them to be a certain way that they won’t stop of anything less in other areas of their life. They have strong opinions, perhaps, and they want to be as tuned into their truth so they are not controlled or suppressing who they are.

8)      They may have a strong understanding of women’s issues/rights and are breaking out of old paradigms of control or oppression. Their next challenge, after doing some questioning, is breaking out of their inner paradigms that keep them stuck or block them from their personal power and truth.

9)      They are freethinkers. They will read about issues, have great debates, question everything and take on causes because the can and know better than to believe collective assumptions. They will inevitably make others around them have to think outside the box.

10)   They have courage. Despite all the fears of family ostracization or the belief that they will grow old and die alone, child-free women have courage enough to stay true to themselves and that is just plain ol’ noble.
