Gosh those stories... It's like women WANT eachother to feel bad about themselves.

I am single, childless and happy by the way.

Well.... shit Imma add my



One mom will say its tough, another will say its a joy, both can be right, both can be wrong. Its true some things yo won't know because in ANY situation people are quick to say..

"if that were me I would do _____." <- that is some dumb shit to say to any person if you aren't living it.


PERFECT EXAPLE: Corporal punishment.

I am a minority, I believe in it, because I need to emphasize to my son that because of white privilege, he will be viewed by a certain sector of our community a certain way, UNTIL he proves otherwise to others. I believe if I were white and my kids were caucasian, I wouldn't have to be so hard on my son, because I think people would view him as a person, and would be willing to take a chance on him, or give him a second chance.

Will many parents disagree? Hell YES. Would some white people think I am being racist? Hell YES. Would they understand WHY I feel this way? NO. Would other black parents understand me? Maybe? Am I wrong? No... because its what is working for me. Does this make me a BAD parent? To some yes. To some no.

But we all don't agree... we don't have to. Life choices are just that... choices.

Don't have kids? Nothing wrong with that. If someone tells you that you don't understand.... well, maybe you just don't. Live with it being happy to have a spontaneous lifestyle! Some people need to stop caring what others think.

BTW... it is extremely rude to try to tell people HOW to raise their kids... I don't care if a bitch birthed 20 kids and had was a Dr. ..... tell me that shit, you'll get cussed out.

that's where the "you wouldn't understand" comments come from. You just gotta let people mess up and learn from it on their own. Abuse is different, intervention is needed then.

All you child-less people are so bitter.

Only Americans, but they mostly seem to think it is ok anyway

I'm going to put a disclaimer in my sig. Something like:

Best thing bout being gay is that there's no eggs in the ass.

why does that sound so national geographic

Though on the downside we do have to deal with a lot of glitter.

Um,
I'm not sure if this will help, but a while back, I was the only single childless female at a dinner party. Before too long, the pix came out and the child discussion started. I chimed in, and one (b****) woman turned to me and sardonically said, "Oh, Lynn, U have kids?"

I looked at her and replied, "I have a B.A. in Psychology- Child Development, a Post-B.A. in Special Education, and a Master's in Special Education-Developmental Disabilities. AND I spend about 7 hours a day with other people's children. What do YOU want to know about children?"

The other ladies gasped.
That bitch never bothered me again.

I love people Like YOU! Way to go!

I think your friend should just smile politely and tell whoever that it's not her concern how she lives her life and she's happy. But the next time she needs a babysitter not to call, because she'll be out living life....

My friend's wife told me she felt sorry for me because I HAVE NO IDENTITY as someone's wife or mother.
I told HER I felt even sorrier for her that she thinks her ONLY identity IS as wife and mother.
Then we stared each other down and smiled politely as ---- walked back into the room.

(Incidentally, it was HER dinner party and and HER bitchy best friend who tried to put me on blast... bunch of cackling heifers! )

If a person is telling her she NEEDS to have kids, she NEEDS to tell them where they can go with that.


I hate women that try to tell others what they NEED. Bossy bitches need a hobby.

C'mon, man. Give us a break here... you can see this thread is pretty much inhabited by women, and I would bet money on the table that a lot of us are somewhere between Pre-menstral syndrome, Post-Menstral syndrome, and then just the damned Menstral Act itself which gives us only one good week out of a month to not want to jump all over you or punch you guys in the throat. Try to be more patient with our ranting... and um, oh! give us lots of cocktails and chocolate to soothe us, heavy on the chocolate part, please
