Misspelled words and incorrect grammar. Sorry, OP, when I saw your missed apostrophe in “can’t”, my expectations of your intelligence and professionalism dipped by a fraction. I realize that I’m behind the times, and most people do not care, so I am trying not to care as well. I tell myself to let it go, but my knee jerk reflex is still there.

When you say "I could care less" or "I had to walk further" or "she had less items in her cart" I am instantly judging you.

This is funny because "I could care less" or "I couldn't care less" are acceptable. I couldn't care less is simply the older form.

Nope!!! One makes sense and the other one is just dumb and incorrect. To say "I could care less" means that you, in fact, COULD care less, which is the opposite of what you're trying to say.

About as much as I'd like to have a dumbass like you around.

I’ve had to work on not judging people by their bad grammar, especially younger co-workers. I don’t understand what is so difficult about subject-verb agreement, but some of the sharpest 25-30yos I know get it wrong about half the time, even in official written and verbal communication. I used to cringe, but I’ve almost stopped noticing, and I would not consider myself a snob about it anymore.

Same for tattoos. They’ve become so commonplace that I really don’t think you can assume anything about someone who has them.

I'm very thankful that people who do not wish to have children do not have them. I'd much rather not see children mistreated because they were not wanted. You're a horrible person for thinking that everyone should have children to meet some kind of societal norm.

Societies for thousands of years have been skeptical and wary of childless people. For very valid reasons.

Nope, only psychos like you. People do not have children for a million different reasons. You should learn how to mind your own business. I'm extremely weary of stupid people like you.

There are no million different reasons, there is always one reason: God/nature/higher power decided that these people do not need procreate their own type. The cycle will end with them. But poor idiots think it is their decision.

Hmmm this is an interesting one. As a younger woman (20s/early 30s) I always thought there was something a bit off about people who remained childless past the age of 40. going through my 30s and having my own children I have tried to reserve judgement and quash these feelings. But observing my own circle it seems the functional, successful ones all have kids and the ones with severe mental health issues or other life impediments have ended up childless.
I also wonder if it is a chicken and the egg thing- are the childless mentally unbalanced older women I know that ways because they never had kids? Or did they not have kids because of their own limitations?
Anyway something to ponder. I would never admit this in real life because it is very in PC. We're supposed to be in admiration of women who are childless and "free".

I tend to agree for the most part. I know there are people where life circumstances get in the way. I have an older, childless aunt but she was in a dangerously abusive marriage as a young woman, got divorced, didn’t date at all for around 10 years as a result, but did end up re-marrying in her mid 40s to a man who already had kids (albeit older), she is now in her mid 70s, still married, and loves being a step-grandma. There’s definitely some of that out there with the older generations. Also a lot of people who are middle class and couldn’t afford to treat their infertility issues.

But I do think with most people, it’s their own mental limitations that lead them to not have kids and most of them never seriously date or try to get married either. I wouldn’t say I judge it, but I’m also not going to take life advice from them. To me, they’re living in a state of perpetual adolescence with the same naive arrogance of your average 18-25 year old.

You are absolutely judging them. You are judging them because of your own intellectual and emotional limitations that prevent you from realizing that there is absolutely nothing wrong with not having children, whether by choice or because you are unable to biologically. I do judge and feel pity for people like you who simply can't imagine living a life that is at all different from your own.

I think this is just a difference of opinion. Humans are Primates, healthy ones want to pass on their genes. If you dont have that drive at all, then as a primate there is something wrong with you, you have lost some fundamental part of what makes humans human- we are animals. to me this person is plastic, artificial and maybe it is a judgement but there is science to back it up. someone who is satisfied completely with man made "things" and has no connection to nature is flawed, someone who does but knows that they will be an awful parent is so flawed that they recognize that they are flawed- why can't you recognize it acknowledge it instead of perpetuating the sort of life choices that parents might make that will damage their children so much that they won't want to perpetuate their genes which in an innate drive.

Wow. This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on this site which is saying a lot. So you think people who choose not to have children are missing the human part of being a human? People have meaningful lives and connections without having children. I was a teacher for many years. I was a nanny to a family for 5 years and remain close to their entire family. I am a doting, loving auntie to a niece and two nephews and have relationships with my friends' kids. I volunteer with a hospice organization and help run a grief camp every summer for children who have lost loved ones. I do part time respite work with a family who has nonverbal adult son who is profoundly autistic. It's incredibly short sighted to think that my life is superficial and fake simply because I decided not to have children. You are a sad, judgmental person.

Strange take. Look at truly trailblazing woman and you’ll find most of them did not have children. All the women I look up to in my life that I have learned the most from (two bosses, one aunt, a family friend, and a college professor) did not have children. It’s nearly impossible to be successful on a really big scale and follow your actual dreams if you have children.

Such horseshit. For one, your career is never more important than raising a family. Two, tens of millions of professionally successful American women--women at the highest levels of medicine, business, academia and research, government and public service--were wise enough to find the time to have children.

Lady, you flatter yourself way too much. I can think of some people whose careers are infinitely more important than the children you brought into this world.

I have a feeling this troll is a man.

I think JD Vance has found DCUM.

Yeah but let’s be real here … if you’re here s*** posting on DCUM, you don’t have one of those careers. 99.5% of people aren’t doing cutting edge cancer research or serving as Supreme Court justices.

This is a good example of what research into what human drives actually does show. After adolescence, psychologically healthy people exhibit a drive toward generitivity. These are actions that contribute to society, and thereby the survival or betterment of the species. Societal factors have pushed us to thinking that equals a heterosexual marriage and the birth of two children. There’s nothing about this that is necessarily more helpful to the species. True, it would be a problem if no one chose to reproduce, but it could be equally problematic if no one chose to contribute to society in a way that does not involve reproduction. Some research suggests that people who do reproduce consider their children to be their contribution to the species and never do anything else to benefit society. This goes against the idea that once people have children they are more committed to making the world a better place, but in terms of a lot of statistics about career contributions and basic things like volunteering and environmental “footprint”, there is a lot to suggest that people who don’t reproduce are putting a good deal more work into trying to make the world a better place.

Find me the data that shows these women in the “highest levels…” have children at the same rate and/or are not already privileged with gobs of money that made it possible. Would love for you to make a meaningful argument here...

Pelosi, Hillary, RBG, KBJ and ACB all had children. Sorry you didn’t prioritize them.

Swingers, “poly” people, or anyone else who makes sex the central aspect of their lives. Doubly so if they have kids.

Strange assumption. I'm poly but it's just a minor aspect of my life.

How is your family a minor aspect of your life?

The PP said sex was the central aspect of my life, not family.

Polyamourous means involved with more than one person, not sleeping around.

This is funny because "I could care less" or "I couldn't care less" are acceptable. I couldn't care less is simply the older form.

They're acceptable because most people don't think about what they're saying. They're sheep saying "Baah." If it becomes popular to say "Baaaaaaah" then they say "Baaaaaaah" too. "I couldn't care less" is the only choice that makes sense if you are trying to say you already care as little as is it is possible to care. You could not care any less. "I could care less" means you care more than someone who couldn't care less. It's not complicated. Four legs good, two legs bad, bah bah.
