A podcast for those who have chosen (or are considering) a childfree lifestyle. MomofNone.com
Restaurants are not having it! In recent days, several articles have come out about extra fees some restaurants have started charging for bad behavior.
I found a letter to Dear Abby from an older woman who wanted advice on getting her 5 adult children to call and visit her. Tune in to hear what if I and Abby agree on what this writer should do. As a childfree person, how do you prevent turning into the lonely older adult at the pharmacy?
Have you ever been asked to switch seats on a plane to accommodate a family who wants to sit together? On today's episode, I talk about ways you can say no to switching without feeling guilty. I also talk about other travel related issues, messy and screaming kids!
Earlier this year, a restaurant in NJ instituted a new policy to restrict children under 10. Nettie's House of Spaghetti in Tinton Falls, NJ implemented this policy in March. One of my most popular episodes is Episode 3: Should children be allowed in places traditionally marketed to adults. In that episode I talked about kids at spas, breweries and bars. And the consensus of the childfree community is NO, they should not be in spaces that would be considered adults only. In this instance it's a restaurant that previously welcomed all children but changed their policy to restrict children under 10. Needless to say, parents were not happy.
After a hiatus, the Mom of None podcast is back with a brand new season, and in this episode, I talk about a hot topic for childfree couples: babysitting. What happens when one partner agrees to babysit a young family member, and the other sees it as a threat to their decision not to have children?

I'm often asked if I regret not having children. I don't. I have made the best decision for myself with the information I had the the time. But what if I wanted to change my mind? If I thought it was the best decision for me, I would.
