Hi Honey, I'm a mummy, however, I see exactly where your coming from.. because.. :rolleyes:
I hate, other people kids.. there I've said it.. out loud :eek:
I also respect your choice of not wanting kids, I never wanted any, but when meeting my hubby, it changed, I have two, but I spent all my childhoood, and earlier adult life, not wanting any..:o
your choice Honey, and you ceratinly not alone, also there are many many very eligable bachelors, out there, who would love you, and your choices, because many of them, also do not want kids.
also, if You ever consider a holiday, for yourself, with like minded people, get yourself, onto P&O cruises, and book with, mv Artemis (slightly older ship), or mv Arcadia (brand new luxury).. because they do not allow children on board, and it's not just golden oldies, it's full of young healthy fit people.. lol lol clubbing and having fun in the sun.. :cool:
best wishes honey..
Bonny
Thanks a lot Bonny!! xxxxxx :):)
I just don't mind really - I've worked since I was 16 and have my own home and friends...I don't know if I want things to change, really.
Visitor..no, my mum never claimed - she worked from age of 14 to 71 - she just retired last weekend. She never wanted to, and instilled in us a real work ethic.
I carry it too far, and I would like to say sorry if I upset mums and dads tonight. All I meant to say is, I'm so happy I don't have kids...it just isn't for me!!
But for all parents out there who do their best - I admire you so much!!! You're doing a job each day I couldn't do and don''t want to do...I just love my pets!! :)

Good for you, you do not need to announce it, though. I want children, and I want them so badly that it actually hurts sometimes, but I don't feel the need to tell the internet.
So someone come on here to complain that she is looked at disapprovingly by some parents who think they are better/more important for having kids.
And so a bunch of parents turn up to demand their right to prove the OP right.
Thats what I call service!:D
That's not it. I have friends that are CFBC and are not mean-spirited like the OP. Some parents can be smug, most aren't. Even when I didn't have kids, I didn't speak about them like they were scumbags or the root of evil.
But don't deride or berate those that choose to have children. Because like it or not, they are our future.
I took it to mean she was tired of parent berating her for not having children and was referring to them not all parents. + a little 'tit for tat' posting. its true.

I truly hope you get what you want, and I mean that.

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:
I cant say I don't partially agree. It doesn't bother me since people always think they are better than me for various reasons, you know:
More kids, better car, bigger cock....you know....;):D
I see so many people who ignore their children and aren't in the slightest bit interested in them. It's depressing really. Why aren't these people interested in showing their kids the world and all the interesting things in it. I think kids can be alot of fun but I don't really want any myself, I'm not so fond of babies to be honest.
In fact, I have no issue with your decision not to have children. It's your decision to make.
But don't deride or berate those that choose to have children. Because like it or not, they are our future.
The next generation will look after us both practically and financially. It's the way the world works.
NO - my problem is with the people I meet each day who don't talk to me coz I don't have kids!!!
I love my life without children...I absolutely detest the buggers (i'm talking personally here folks not generally...) but I resent that I have to cover work coz of neurotic parents freaking over their kid's sniffle, and sympathetic looks like I can't have kids!! :rolleyes:
I admire totally people who have kids....but the fact is one look at them puts me off!! The mothers look hideous and the dads look bored....no thank you!
I took it to mean she was tired of parent berating her for not having children and was referring to them not all parents. + a little 'tit for tat' posting. its true.
In that case, she titted before she was tatted.
For my part, I've never judged people one way or the other.
My only point is that we do and will rely on the next generation(s). An ever-aging population is hardly going to prosper.

You are making me laugh with your generalisations. Umm yep, Heidi Klum et al, look hideous, how could I disagree. Honestly Bambi you don't have to justify your decision by slagging off everyone who doesn't share it.
I applaud people who stick with their own mind and don't get pushed into doing something that's not for them.
I will add that as a parent it is our duty of care to ensure a sniffle is nothing more serious and the most neurotic people I know tend to be animal lovers. In a good way of course.
Oh, is it? I thought it was just another vitriolic rant by yet another CFer who thinks that the world is out to get them because they don't have or want children. My mistake.

Why yes. Because childless people people come here every day to complain. Personally I think there should be a sub forum.

Funnily enough I'm the only person in my work with a school age child, and the only one who hasnt had a day off due to illness in years. Thats another generalisation you made.

I second that
Thanks a lot Bonny!! xxxxxx

Thank me then!

Did I say you weren't?

No probs, I am rubbish at explaining things, makes sense to me, but usually not to anyone else!

I think it is.

It's a debate!! :rolleyes:
Thank you.
I'm only 23 [and single] at the moment, but it's something that I can't help thinking about. I even have names picked and everything.

Contextually yes. Took a few moments to work out what you meant though lol!
Thats true. But were also over populated so staying childless is also fine (I know you agree btw, just countering your point).
Oh, is it? I thought it was just another vitriolic rant by yet another CFer who thinks that the world is out to get them because they don't have or want children. My mistake.
Oh yes, Claudia Schiffer, Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, Katie Holmes, etc ALL MOOSES I TELL YOU.
Why yes. Because childless people people come here every day to complain. Personally I think there should be a sub forum.
