I used to work there, you're right.

I'm new to the area n DnD but I'm interested if u have deets

I love this and your observations from personal experience seems to ring very true / align with my own. I really would like to see this discussion brought to light more broadly in society, but as we know challenging traditionally accepted cultural norms in any way often brings additional drama for the challenger.

I'd love to chat about this further in an academic sense, or even run a study or two to inform articles for publication. Feel free to DM me if you'd like to talk further and enjoy your holiday!

Thanks for your time and thoughtful responses

Great points, I'd be fascinated to see and read more of this in a book were you to publish one. I think it's a strong message reading how you view and phrase it that deserves more of a spotlight in our society.

Why do you lead with and specialize in child free? Do you find that the challenges by people choosing (or chosen for) this lifestyle are that unique or require such special attention? If so, please elaborate on the specific challenges or themes you find!

Being a millennial from California, I never witnessed (or experienced) pressure to procreate until I moved to the Southeastern United States. I'm also interested in any patterns you've found e.g regional differences or personality traits of people struggling with their child free journey; if you're willing to share.
