Take the labels childless and childfree, for example. I must confess, I’m growing impatient over the self-imposed barriers we create for ourselves about why we don’t have kids. Whether we identified as childless or childfree, we need each other’s support as we navigate life’s joys and challenges. In addition to marginalizing the childless and childfree, I’ve learned many moms slap labels on each other, too. When we label and separate one another, we lose the opportunity to learn the life lessons we’ve all worked so hard to gain.
