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.
I am CFBC (child-free by choice) but it's not because I hate kids; on the contrary, I quite like them. I just know I'm not maternal, and no, my mind isn't going to be changed on the subject.
I do, however, think the OP is giving us CFBC-ers a very bad name. Live and let live, that's my mantra when it comes to this issue.
But I have to say...I REALLY can't stand children.
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:
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
Well of course not. Since that's the thread title. I was trying to explain the the wording to you and her use of the word 'want which was a bit confusing.
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.[/QUOTE]
I can understand that, and that is fair enough, but you referring to children as 'sprogs' and so on has made you sound like the Child Catcher before you have even started. Not everyone wants children, yet some do. I have friends that have chosen not to have children for various reasons and thats up to them, I for one don't think of them worse or better for it, it's up to them.
Why is it that some childfree people come across as being less mature than the children they claim not to want? This is something that has always puzzled me.
Well of course not. Since that's the thread title. I was trying to explain the the wording to you and her use of the word 'want which was a bit confusing.
Or at least my interpretation of it.
ok ta, hope I didn't sound arsey as i didn't mean it that way i was just a bit confused lol
"I hate men, no-good filthy scum the lot of them."
"I hate queers........"
"I hate blacks.............."
Are comments like this any less offensive and disrespectful than somebody saying they hate children and calling them abusive names?
I can never understand why it seems acceptable to attack the most vulnerable people with a sometimes vicious tirade of abuse when if the same was said about other sections of our society there would be uproar.

It's quite puzzling.
This is something that has always puzzled me, too. Quite frankly, some of the vitriol I have seen directed towards children on the internet over the past few years has been appalling, and depressing. Like you I really don't see how it's acceptable to talk about them like this.
Comments
Oh please!
Yes they ARE!!!:rolleyes:
Oh, really.
I didn't say I was special!!
And if you're not interested...bye, bye.
Yet you had the nerve to call parents thick... you're a troll and I'm not feeding you any longer.
And how do you think pension schemes work? They don't just put it away for you, you know. They rely on people contributing throughout the years.
Yes - they get credits or benefits of some sort!!
Whereas *I* have never claimed of the government in my life!
So *I* should be the smug one. And I am! :cool:
You post on a public forum, you invite discussion and cannot dictate who can or cannot reply.
Yeah, the only reason I want kids is so I can claim a measly £20 a week!

And remember: the schools have broken up now.

Bonny
If thick people upset you then life must be pretty hard.
The thing is...Kids only behave badly because their parents are tw4ts.
I've contributed thousands already - £400 a month for the last 18 years.
I also give £100 a month to animal charities. I pay well over £500 in tax a month.
I think I'm ok as a citizen.
Well of course not. Since that's the thread title. I was trying to explain the the wording to you and her use of the word 'want which was a bit confusing.

Well, aren't you special? Would you like a medal or something? A) for not having children, and b) for never having claimed benefits of any sort.
AFAIK All parents of children <16 are entitled to benefits.
So your Mother never claimed child benefit for you then?
ok ta, hope I didn't sound arsey as i didn't mean it that way i was just a bit confused lol
aaww, your seriously, kind mate.. well done you
So you choose not to have kids, that's great, fantastic.
I had cats before I had kids and loved them so much, still do but its not the same. It's still love though.
I love my kids and being a parent becomes a profession as it's your chief responsibility.
I don't think people who choose not to have kids are sad, I think they are wise, as obviously they don't want them enough to be good parents anyway.
Live and let live both ways.

I totally agree.
And so a bunch of parents turn up to demand their right to prove the OP right.
Thats what I call service!:D
