Happy International Childfree Day 🥳

A quote from Hollywood film legend Katharine Hepburn that reads: "I would have been a terrible mother because I'm basically a very selfish human being. Not that that has stopped most people going off and having children."

Us childfree by choice may not get special sales events or merch of Hallmark cards celebrating our chilldfree-ness today, but at least we don’t have to worry about kids in the end because we chose not to have them. Happy International Childfree Day to us childfree* peeps! 🥂

*Those who gave birth to kids and no longer have to live with them are not and will never be childfree, thus they can’t celebrate with us. I shouldn’t have to bring this up but I’ve seen some parents on Bluesky lately legit calling themselves “childfree” just because their kids have moved out of the house. No. They’re parents for life and they already have their own day.

No Kid-ding

Happy International Childfree Day to those who chose not to have kids for their own reasons, make no regrets about it, and don’t care what others think of their decision to be childfree! 🥳🥂

(Side note: the pic is a two-fer, since Samantha Jones is a childfree character (and one of my icons), and is played by Kim Cattrall, who is CF in real life.)

(ETA: I was unaware that I used this same pic for last year’s childfree day. 😆Whoops!)
