Are single women without kids ruder to you in public?

[Anonymous]

although it sure helps, if you don't have kids, to be rude to ones who do. some people just don't understand. i think parents are much more likely to give a sympathetic look to another parent.

No, I have never noticed this. I live in suburban MD.

I remember feeling this way about younger women for a brief period. I think that was when I was at my most exhausted and disheveled. I assumed that was what they felt they had a right to react negatively to.

No, I find that singles are often very helpful. My toddler overturned my latte when I was sitting outside with her on one of the 70 degree days a couple weeks ago. A table full of single women not only ran inside to grab napkins/towels, but insisted on cleaning up and tried to get me a replacement. This is not the only example I could give.

Maybe you are just having a string of bad luck?

Wow, I'm surprised the moderator didn't rip you a new one for being controversial, antagonistic, or the like.... I (and many of my friends and their friends) are sensitive to the kind of thing you mentioned, we talk about it all the time. The key is, find groups who are supportive and as educated as you. That is, like minded individuals who are as successful as you, then in no time you won't care about others reactions so much. Remember, if people are happy with themselves they are less critical of others.
