childfree
Deliberately without children
Childfree describes someone who has chosen not to have children, as distinct from childless, which implies wanting children but not having them.
The term emphasizes voluntary decision over circumstance or inability: We're childfree by choice.
Childfree communities discuss lifestyle, relationships, and pushback against social expectations of parenthood.
