Extra grateful to be childfree (lemm.ee)

I'm feeling especially happy to be childfree and wanted to share. I have off from work and am spending the week home with my husband and dogs. The house is so peaceful. I'm getting in hours and hours of digital painting practice. I can't fathom why anyone would voluntarily choose to care for a kid for 18yrs, rather than have that time for relaxation and to pursue interests/hobbies. Working fulltime already makes me feel like I don't get enough time to simply enjoy life.

I'm glad you don't have kids too.

I love my kids, my life is infinitely better because of them.

There's nothing I'd rather do with my free time than spend it with my kids.

Why are you two in this community then? No offense- more power to actually attentive parents- but the whole point of being here is appreciating child-free life. Thanks for having that quality as a parent, but holy fuck that sounds exhausting. I'm so glad that I can spend what little free time I have paying attention to my own responsibilities and interests instead of someone else's.
