[Childfree] Childfree discussion

[G. K. Endress]

Ok I'll chime in here: 

1. Who should be in this group?

- Anyone who is technically childfree (has never produced an offspring of any kind).
- Former step-parents (were married to a parent, now divorced, widowed, etc.)
 
I'd also be open to anyone who has had a child but gave up for adoption/miscarried, etc. Also empty-nesters don't bother me too much - especially if their children are friends of mine. Technically their children aren't children anymore so that's a grey area. For me I just don't want to be spending time in this group with people who currently have little rug rats (as Ann mentioned, that defeats the purpose of this group).

2. When should a person leave the group?
    
As soon as a person becomes a parent (however you define it ... step, adoptive, etc). of a child (someone who is not an adult).
 
3. Who should enforce the rules?

I would like to see the founder of this group enforcing the rules. 

4. What constitutes a CF event?

Any event that is posted on the Wiki and/or mailing list, that does not come with a specific disclaimer of "this is no a child-free only event". And I also agree these events should be kept to a  minimum.

5. Comments
 
I also agree that for events that are not designated "not a child-free only event", any one dating a parent should not bring said parent along. 
 
I'd say if someone really wanted to bring a parent along, they need to ask the entire group if it's ok first and explain the situation.
