Are parents missing out? MN without children

Inspired by another thread, but really not meant with malice... Do you think parents are missing out by having children?

Do they remove themselves from
opportunities or experiences for example?

Although they experienced child free life before having them, one you have them you don't get childfree life again. Especially not initially, and you're always a parent.

Can they really know what it would be like to have children and therefore what they are committing themselves to?

Just wondering how child free people feel as a counter to this well worn idea that we are some how missing out or lacking.

Hi folks

Can we get this thread back on track now, please? It has been derailed and strayed far from the original question.

Hi, everyone. We're dropping in again because the thread is still being derailed. We don't think it was ever intended as a debate about the definition of terms! To be frank, in the context of this board, we don't think it's that helpful to debate what childfree means. Yes, it means different things in different circumstances but it's fair to say that on THIS board it generally means people who do not have children and we're going to assume attempts to debate this are a deliberate derailment.

Please can we get this back on track now? If you don't feel you can do that, it's probably best to take a step back. Thanks, MNHQ.
