Im not childfree, I have 2 children and it is by far the hardest part of my life. I dont regret having them, I'd not change the fact I had them. The older they get the more I enjoy being a parent. I love that they are little people/young adults now and we can enjoy things together. I really struggled with babyhood.
I am crushed by the weight of others expectations though, that my children should just 'behave' and that their behaviour is a direct correlation to my input as a parent.
If you have time on your side and youre undecided them definitely take the time to try and decide.
I can completely see why people would choose to stay childfree. Looks fab to me, despite the fact I wouldnt change my decision.
I do keep my kids separate from my childfree friends. I wouldnt dream of them tagging along for a lunch out or whatever.

absolutely not.
Edit - just saw the disability discussion. I have one neuro diverse child and it is challenging every single day. Very stressful.
