Interesting. When I read this I read it as the subreddit childfree which has a pretty anti children vibe and I instinctively assumed you meant people that dont like kids and/or dont think having children should be advertised and supported as much as it is.

As a DINKWAL I can understand all sides here. People should do what they like but getting asked „no kids? Why? Wont you reconsider?“ makes me want to punch someone.

I've seen the acronym DINKWAD before, but never DINKWAL. I know DINKWAD is dual income, no kids with a dog, so now I can only assume you own a Llama.

That comment made me laugh out loud! Thank you very much! I would in fact love to own a llama!

But you were on the right track. I made the acronym up. In my case it means double income no kids with a lizard.

Okay, my sister in law is a big fan of lizards and sneks, so now I'm embarrassed that's not where I went to first 😅 However I wish you the best of luck with your Llama owning aspirations in the future!

Thanks a lot! Greetings to your sister from by four bearded dragons. :) will update if I manage to own a llama at any point.

Why not a leopard? Some people like cats.

I'm allergic, so wasn't the first thing to come to mind. However yes, would also be a valid alternative.
