- Environmental - the Earth's population is exploding and we are using up our resources too quickly. Babies need diapers and stuff and food for their whole lives. I could use cloth diapers, but if I never have to change diapers, even better!
- Occupational - I love my job. I've never met a mom who wasn't torn between her job and her kids. Why put myself in that situation if I don't have to?
- Emotional - Children are a blessing, but they can also be very stressful!
- Marital - My husband and I can agree to disagree on certain issues that won't ever affect us since we won't have kids. Working out agreements is a good thing, but there are just certain things we won't ever have to worry about (like video games/TV, curfew/bedtime, etc).
- Physical - I never have to be pregnant. Enough said.
- Helpful - As a wife, there is a lot of work to do at home (children or not!). As a Christian, there is a lot of work to do for God's Kingdom. I am seriously not perfect and still improving in this area, but being childfree really is freeing to help other children who are already here and do the other things that God wants me to.

Sugar milk
After all the opposition, the Board of Education tabled the great chocolate milk debate. They await new federal guidelines on child nutrition.
But the discussion in Florida is far from over, Padgett said. "It's the trend of the future. It's the weight of the future."
At Pinellas Central (School), 10-year-old Hong Ho beamed when asked about her choice of white milk.
"Chocolate milk has, like, lots of fats and calories," she explained.
Friend and classmate Linh Le, also 10, shook her head as she sipped from her brown carton.
"I drink chocolate milk at school because I always drink plain milk in the morning," Linh said.
The two lifted their cartons to compare nutritional labels.
White milk: 110 calories, 12 grams of sugar. Chocolate milk: 150 calories, 26 grams of sugar.
"This has a lot of sugar!" Linh exclaimed.
"That," said Ho, "is why I don't drink chocolate milk."
