I totally agree - I also get upset when thick people (usually unhappy people with children) resent me for making the smart choice NOT to have horrible kids. I'm being kind to the planet and being kind to people and being kind to myself.
But I have to say...I REALLY can't stand children. WHY do thick parents expect the rest of us to be envious of them??
Having kids would be my worst nightmare!!! I haven't EVER seen a kid I want...every kid I have ever seen I've disliked. So why on earth would I want that? :rolleyes:

There are enough numpties squeezing out kids they neither want or can look after properly.
If you dont want them, dont have them and to heck with anyone who tries to make you feel bad about your decision.
After thinking we did want children, we have now u-turned and are really glad we don't have them. All we hear on a daily basis are friends moaning about their children being a bind/mess/cost. I don't think they are 'thick' though.
Because people have have kids our tax money suddenly diverts towards them...like a train switching tracks.
And Poppy I wasn't calling people thick for having kids...hell, my mum had six and my four sisters all have children and I love them....what I mean is smug people who think having kids is the be-all-and-end-all...
Sorry...I should have made that clear.
I also want to say...I LOVE my pets more than I love anything. It's just how I feel!! I hate parents who think if you don't have kids you don't know how to love!! :rolleyes:
Ok. I agree with you on the smug part. I laugh when people have babies and their friends say things like 'Well done' after the birth. Well done? What, like procreating is a skill worthy of recognition?
That's actually a big reason for me!! I think parents today have to be exceptionally selfish...WHO out of kindness would bring a poor child into this place??
Not me.
Ah, you haven't seen mine!
Seriously, how can you despise all children? You used to be one so you know that they're just immature people.
Yip...and that they love them - well *I* love that!!! I love parents loving their kids...but I absolutely resent parents thinking I and people like me are jealous shoites or resentful wee witches just because we choose not to have kids.
And honestly - I *DO* love my dogs and cats and rabbits more than anything and I don't have to be a mum to figure that out!
Surely if you do not have children, then you are child free already anyway? Or do you want to do a Torchwood special and exterminate them all?
*I* am the one paying for your choice so if I want to crow about not having sprogs, then I will, thanks!!
Kids can be annoying, but that's because they don't know any better. What do you expect, for them to just pop out with perfect manners and rational thought?
Think she meant it was by choice rather than enforced i.e "I want to be child free, its not because there is something wrong with me"
Sometimes I dream of it!!
Just kidding for the professional-parents among us!! :rolleyes:
And when you're an old lady, with no kids, you'll be grateful that people like me who had kids, provided you with your doctors, nurses, social services, electric workers, transport running, farm workers,shop working, physicist, chemists etc .....
Need I go on?
Now I'll tell you what I hate'.
Childless people who are soooooo happy being childless, that they have to tell people 'just how happy they are not having children'.;)
I really get upset :rolleyes: NOT! about people who think that they are some how contributing to the human race by not passing their genetic material to the next generation.
Scrub that, I'm really glad there not:D
Excuse me? You pay? Not all parents are on benefits! Truly ignorant statement.
I hate them for myself...that's what I mean. I certainly DON'T hate them as people - in fact, I work with the National Commission for Children and Young People to try to improve conditions and environments for them.
I simply meant...for myself, I would HATE it!! And I would! It would be Hell on earth for me to have kids. For them and for me.
No, you are not. I work and pay tax, just like you do. Unless you die right now, (something I am in no way wishing) my kids will be paying for you. Thing is, I like living in a society where people help each other out, so it's okay by me, and I don't even like kids other than my own.
I never said there was anything wrong with him or her, and I did assume from there post it was their choice anyway, sorry you have confused me a bit?:o
That may be so, but it's the children of today who will be paying for your old age.
Not me - I took out a private pension at 18!
Professional parents, wtf? You're conducting this discussion in a really mature manner.
If you don't want children, don't have them. End of. You're no more special than people who do want to have children, so, please, don't go on about it. Nobody really cares.
