Her Best Friend Unexpectedly Had A Baby, So She No Longer Wants To Go On Vacation With Her Since She’s Child-Free
Back in middle school, this 29-year-old woman became close to her best friend, who is the same age as her.
Recently, her best friend unexpectedly welcomed a baby with her husband. The pregnancy wasn’t planned, but her best friend and husband are thrilled with their little bundle of joy.
“We spent all fall celebrating their very rushed engagement, wedding, and baby shower — it was very time-consuming and expensive for us, but we were happy to celebrate with them, and we are so happy to see how happy this baby has made them,” she explained.
“I was asked to be the godmother, and it was truly such an honor.”
Prior to her best friend having a baby, she and her boyfriend would spend a ton of time with her best friend and her best friend’s husband.
They were all together two or three nights a week to have dinner, and they hung out nearly every weekend as well. They would vacation at the beach or fly to Europe.
She and her 29-year-old boyfriend have chosen to be child-free. They never, ever want to have kids in their lifetimes. She and her boyfriend won’t get a dog since they consider a pet to be too much of a commitment.
They adore mountain climbing, scuba diving, and being free to do whatever they want. None of those things align with kids.
She and her boyfriend have made some travel plans recently, but her best friend can’t see why she and her husband are being excluded.

“They mention how easy it is to travel with the baby and their dog, and they insist we can still do fun stuff like swimming and the beach,” she said.
“But the thing is, I don’t want to be stuck hearing a baby scream and cry every night. It’s fine going over to their house to visit, but we can leave when we get too tired of it. And I don’t want to be beholden to the needs of their child. They chose to have a kid, we didn’t.”
Her best friend insists that she and her boyfriend would be amazing parents, and she wishes her child could have a playmate.
This irritates her the most, as she thinks her best friend is being super rude for imposing that on her.
Honestly, she no longer wants to spend time around her best friend or her best friend’s husband since they both don’t respect her choice to never have children.
“I don’t want to push them away, and I love how happy they are, but it’s too much,” she continued.
“We are both afraid we will say something that will insult or offend them or make them think we don’t want to be around them because of their child.”
“It’s not the baby that’s the problem, I actually like snuggling and playing with the kid; it’s their insistence that we are in this together and that nothing has changed that is the problem.”
