Yes, there is nothing to celebrate. It is like I didn't play softball, so I should get a trophy for choosing not to play. If you don't want kids, fine, but it doesn't deserve a holiday or a gift.
Parenting is a choice as well, yet we celebrate it. So why not celebrate the opposite choice as well.
I think it's a great idea. You could pair it with a green effort because every less child means more oxygen for the rest of us
Not necessarily. If that child grows up to a career in restoring the rain forests or cleaning the oceans. We get a lot more oxygen from those than all possible humans could ever consume.
I know you've posted elsewhere about your struggles with fertility and adoption so you've got a different perspective, but the "anger" you're seeing could very well be about the fact that other people can't accept that some folks are perfectly happy not having kids and that doesn't make them selfish or defective.
If someone was perfectly happy why would they be angry? Doesn't jive. If they were perfectly content others random opinions would be like water off a ducks back
The real reason to be child free is that the Bible told us to be fruitful and multiply, but that was before calculators were invented. People simply don't need to multiply anymore.

The children of the parents celebrate it. There is no one to celebrate it for the childfree, no one to buy gifts, no one to take care of them when they are old, and no one to throw them a party. It is ridiculous that some people are trying so hard to make everything politically correct and everyone equal. Not having children is fine, but why would you be jealous of a holiday for parents?

I hope you do realize that having kids doesn't guarantee being taken care of in the old age. Also, the world doesn't turn around out of jealousy.
Um... Mother's Day and Father's Day are days when kids are supposed to thank and appreciate their parents for parenting.
Who is appreciating the childless for not procreating? Isn't that kinda insulting?
"Hey Bob, thanks for not breeding. We don't need any more of your kind around here."
"Hey Tina, Happy Childless Woman Day. Thank goodness no more of your gene pool."

Actually, even if you don't have kids, you will in fact be taken care of by kids in your old age. It's my kids and everyone else's who will be funding Social Security and Medicare.
