My bad. I meant "childless".

I love small kids from birth up to school time. At that time they accept peer pressure and it's over, they only need the parent as a wallet. I have difficulty accepting fashions because I don't believe in them. When they get to be adults then it's way better. It's difficult to be a good parent and surviving at the same time.

Most school environments seem very unhealthy to me. Children are forced to stiffle their creativity and their individuality so they won't stand out in the crowd. So many counter-productive habits are learned that stay with them into adulthood. Anyone who has worked in an office knows that it's an adult version of a school yard: gossip, backstabbing, power struggles, gangs. These things are frowned upon in the real world, but in the school yard they are seen as normal.
