In reply to Simone.

I really don’t care if someone has kids or not. It is none of my business. I do not have any children because I knew there was no way that I could provide for them adequately – so I took birth control wisely and i used protection…. but that is me – That is the way that was best for me. If you want kids – go for it – if you can provide for them – then all power to you. I was never that blessed. I do not think having to raise children – when you can not afford them is not all that great of an idea. I have friends that are going through this very thing. Their marriages suffer and end, then the kids grow up with issues. It is sad. But hey – kids do work for some people – so there is that.

I don’t care that you don’t want kids really translates to: “I know that you made better life choices than I did, but I’m so bitter and covered in my child’s pea soup spit that I don’t want to listen to it!”

Most parents had kids without expecting them so they want everybody to be as miserable as them ,then there are the ones that have them to use them as trophys so they can live through their kids success pretty pathetic if you ask me nobody cares about your kids but you deal with it

In reply to BoredofMombies. Why read this article if it was only to bash the writer? People these days need to chill the freak out. Don't want kids? Good, the world needs less asshats like you.

“I don’t care about your lack of kids, and I don’t want to talk about it, but if you don’t want to talk about my sweet lil bayyyybieeees then you’re an impatient jerk who doesn’t understand what I’ve sacrificed to reproduce.”

Yawwwwwwwwwn.

When will these self-righteous mummies get that CF people are under no obligation to listen/be patient/curb their own conversational topics anymore than parents are? When will you get that hearing for the seven thousandth time about some inane thing your kid said is fucking boring?

You don’t want people to talk about THEIR stance on kids, then don’t talk about kids at all. Full stop. You don’t get special dispensation just because you’re a boring mombie now with nothing else in your life.

You bring up kids, then everyone has a right to talk about kids in whatever way they want. Don’t like it? Change the damned subject.

On the flip side of this coin – don’t tell people they’ll “change their minds” about a decision THEY know more about than anyone else. Don’t talk about how great kids are when I say I’m not having them, in some pathetic attempt to sway me. And when someone tells parents to butt out, they need to listen – the whole reason child free people immediately run down a list of reasons is because they’ve been harassed several times before and feel the need to reiterate to shut the entitled narcissist parents up.

Basically, the short version is: if parents truly, honestly don’t care about someone else’s choice to not have kids, then stop asking questions about them, period. It’s nobody’s business but the person making the choice and they won’t change their mind no matter how much another parent wants them to share in the misery.
