I recently learned about the term DINKWAD (dual income no kids with a dog) on TikTok and it peaked my interested. We’ve heard a lot recently about declining birth rates among rich nations. It is a personal choice whether to get married, have children or stay single and get a dog (and so many other amazing possibilities in between). What’s fascinating about the DINKWAD trend is it seems to give couples the best of both worlds – the stability and coziness of coupledom and the freedom and financial rewards of the child free lifestyle, add a loving pet and you also get the joys of providing, nurturing and caring for another being that depends on you.

Here are some of you dog luvers out there sharing about your DINKWAD lifestyle:

The DINKWAD lifestyle is a diverse group of families choosing their own path to joy and happiness. At lufuluv our tagline is “Luv your chosen family” and we think DINKWADs fit our extended family perfectly! After all we are all looking for love and acceptance and how we find that is a matter of preference. Being happy in the choice to be child free, some find being a pet parent suits them just fine given the many obstacles to raising a human child in today’s modern society.

Next we’ll take a look at DINKWAC’s and see what’s so special about the cat parents of the world. It’s all about personal choice to finding that rewarding lifestyle that fits your needs.

Have you chosen to be a DINKWAD? What do you luv about it? Tell us in the comments.

Be Kind! Be Happy!
