In my free time, of which there is little, I enjoy music, wine, podcasts, and spending time in the mountains with my partner and our 4-year-old husky.
I'd love to know more about this.
If someone chooses to be privacy focused, then they will likely opt out of the things that they can control - that doesn’t change because there are others they can’t.
>But if there was irony, there was also a metaphor in their switch from meth to yoghurt. Like yoghurt, if the conditions are right, if there is patience and there is care, people can change and a new kind of culture can survive.
Highly recommend it.
We are always more than willing to have our friends bring their kids over - they keep the dog distracted :) - or bring them on hikes, etc. with us. I have also been volunteering at the local ice arenas teaching youth hockey and learn to skate programs and it's something I look forward to doing for a long time as it brings me happiness. The idea that I embody r/childfree because I don't want kids of my own is wild to me.
There is, for sure, a cult-like approach from both extremes.
>there are plenty of organizations where you can volunteer and have a meaningful impact on a kids life.
Absolutely. I've been teaching for learn to skate programs at ice arenas in the area for years and it's been absolutely amazing.
I've found that a lot of people link not wanting to have kids with disliking children all-together and that couldn't be further from the truth with us.
Guess I'm screwed.
