r/actuallychildfree is a subreddit with 8k members. The most common kinds of discussions are pain & anger and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses childfree, parents, sterilization, kids, and family.
We are childfree. We don't have kids, we don't want kids, and it's not up for discussion.
Parents, fence sitters, and children are not welcome here. This is our tiny corner of the internet.
