Re: First order of business! :-)
What about a more generic name for those that are childless but not by choice?

Re: First order of business! :-)
i kind of like "childess families" or something like that better... i'm sure there will be some people posting on here who are childless because of IF, and not necessarily by choice...

What about something like the Kid Free Zone? Not everyone chooses to be childfree and I think it's a little insensitive to imply that it was.

I think "Kid Free Zone" is a cute idea.
I'm ok with Childless by Choice but I understand that it's not a choice for some and that may be hurtful.

Re: First order of business! :-)
I'm OK with anything other than "Childless by Choice", since this is not the case for those of us dealing with IF.

Re: First order of business! :-)
I would say Childless by Choice will be hurtful for those who can't have babies or are dealing with IF.
Perhaps "Childfree Zone" or Childfree Families"

Re: First order of business! :-)
The name is fine by me... I assume the purpose of this board is for couples who choose not to have children. I assume the IF board is for those struggling with IF issues...
However, if it's meant for all childless couples, then I could see changing the name.

Re: First order of business! :-)
The IF board is for those who are currently struggling with IF. When the IF journey comes to an end without success these couples are childless, not by choice. They still need a place to go other than the IF board.

That makes sense....
Childless Families is a good one...

Re: First order of business! :-)
I know this board isn't for me...I have a child and one on the way but I saw this new board which I think is a great idea.
However....I just think that the two situations (people that are childless by choice and those that are b/c of IF) are so completely different, I just don't see how it could be for both? Maybe some topics could be shared, I understand that, but the vibe/feelings are just a bit different. AGAIN this is only my opinion and my opinion is apt to change...
I do think if its a board for both, childless by choice is not a good name of course. Maybe a simple "Families without Children" works? It implies neither a voluntary nor involuntary position on the topic...

I totally agree that these are two completely different situations. I don't mind sharing one board but I'm a little surprised that the name was automatically "childless by choice". Anyway, no problem once it is changed and different questions can be asked and discussions started for those who are childless NOT by choice. Some topics will definitely overlap. Thanks for making this callout and for understanding the difference.
