Thank you Lisa Hymas for writing such a great article for www.Grist.org
2010: The year childfree went mainstream (thanks, Oprah!)
It's true! When Oprah outs herself as happily childfree in a Barbara Walters interview, the childfree are definitely put on the map.
This is the best gift I have received this Christmas!

The volume on your blog really speaks to the number of people that have made the decision not to have children or those that at least do not consider it to be an obligation to society.
My wife and I decided not to have children well before we were married over 20 years ago, and we've never regretted the decision. In fact, we've found that our personal decision has made our lives richer and more fulfilling and has afforded us the opportunity to do a lot of the things our friends with children can't do, either because of the costs involved or the difficulty getting time away from the kids.
With this in mind, we launched a website for 2011 called No Children by Choice that focuses on living a life of quality and enjoying the finer things in life. We're not an anti-child site - that's a personal decision and we don't consider it a right or wrong choice. Instead, we're looking to offer information on our experiences with food and dining, travel, etc. and to build an interactive community for child-free couples to meet.
If this sounds interesting to you, you can visit the website at www.nochildrenbychoice.com.
Happy New Year!
