To the *Childfree by choice* idiots:
I wrote this comment in response to a post on the ChildFreedom blog, which is apparently a site for people who don’t have kids to bitch about the lame decision they think people who do have kids made.
Just remember Einstein, our kids are going to run the world you grow old and infirm in, and since you won’t have children of your own, they’ll be making the decisions for you.
You might want to be nice to them.
**Footnote, unlike the idiot who wrote the offending post, I actually approve comments because unlike him/her, I’m actually interested in opposing viewpoints and am not just her to spout my own line.
——————-
So approve my comment coward.
If you don’t want to see those facebook statuses, the solution is VERY easy.
Unfriend the people. You’re choosing to have them in your feed, knowing they have kids, and knowing they post stuff like that. That makes *YOU* the idiot for keeping them there, and for assaulting them when THEY post something about THEIR life to THEIR facebook page. (I’m assuming of course they’re not leaving comments like this on your wall, which of course would in fact be rude.)
So that begs the obvious question? Why are you friends with these people anyway if they piss you off so much? Could it be the Childfree by Choice badge of martyrdom? You are just as bad as the people you complain about, in fact you’re worse, because you’re a hypocrite.
You just HAVE to have something to complain about to justify your decision not to procreate to the world? Or is it that you have to have something to bitch and whine about period.
Tell you what, you don’t need to justify yourselves to us. We really could give half a shit what you think or do.
We all have jobs by choice but most of us complain about them from time to time.
We all have bills by choice but most of us complain about them from time to time.
I think neither could be construed to be a “bad decision”
There is *NO* difference between a parent complaining about cleaning up after their kids and you complaining about anything from your pathetic little lives.
Grow the fuck up.

A-freakin-MEN. And that’s all I’ll say about that right now.

One good thing I can say about the Childfree stuff… it’s giving a community of support for people who do choose not to have kids, as opposed to the whole “when are you gonna have kids, why not, what the hell is wrong with you” mentality that every adult human being is required by god or man to reproduce.
I’m not sure where I fit in. I had my son when I was 19. I’m now 45, and have been “childfree” (or empty-nested) for almost 8 years. Suits me fine. If I were deciding to have kids or not as an adult, I’m pretty sure I’d have voted “no.” (The kid-at-19 thing was a big ol’ “oops.”)
My son and his wife do not plan to have kids… a plan I totally support. No granny-lust here.
The problem on both sides, as with most controversial, divisive topics, is that extremists on both sides make the very group they profess to represent look bad. Everybody hates a hater, no? (If not, they should.)
Respect, people. Respect people’s reproductive choices, and expect them to respect yours. (And having just written that, I find myself slipping into hypocrisy, because I’m still kinda snarky about that reality TV couple that has 19 kids. None of my business… yet they annoy me. However, I won’t start slamming them on Facebook or sending them scathing emails.)

Hey not all childfree bitch and moan..parents or not, there are bitchers and moaners out there, glass half empty people, etc. On the no-kids front, there are more of us who agree that it is just a different choice that is made in life, nothing more nothing less. We don’t feel the need to justify ourselves; it is our child-centric, pronatalist culture that does not accept the choice, and so the people who make it need to be comfortable in the tributaries of society. I have talked to hundreds of people who don’t have kids by choice, have written about them, and some do better with this than others. Some just have a hard time with others not accepting them..many people have this issue, parent or not. So please don’t lump us all together–the bitch and moan is an individual thing… ~L http://lauracarroll.com

I have to apologize, to you and everyone else who DOESN’T spend their time bitching and whining about other people’s kids.
By “Childfree by Choice” I inteded the caps. My blog automatically puts post titles in all uppercase and so that distinction was lost.
The “Childfree by Choice” idiots in question are the ones trumpeting their triumph over biology, and spending their time hating parents.
Your choice to have or not to have children really doesn’t affect me. If someone on facebook annoys you by posting pictures of their kids, simply unfriend them. There is no need for the hate and discontent like the crap I see on the blog above.
It’s a simple matter.
Wow, that’s some serious hating they’ve got going on. Now I’m worried that my child-free facebook friends hate me but instead of hiding me or unfriending me they just get more and more upset by my child-centric life.
Whether you have kids or not shouldn’t matter, that is if you’re not insecure about either your decision *and/or* how other people perceive you as a result.
I don’t have a problem with people who decide not to have kids, for whatever the reason. But trying to jame the idea down other people’s throats is *JUST* wrong as the idiot parents who think anyone and everyone should become parents.
Trust me. Growing up with my parents I can tell you in no uncertain terms that not just *anyone* should become parents – ESPECIALLY someone who has no interest in it.
My parents were that type, pressured by religion into having six kids, and they SUCKED at it.
Every single time.
