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".

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.

Career does not equal success. A close knit family that is your life and legacy is success.

You know who didn’t have children? Jesus, that’s who! I would love to have Commander Waterford here explain that! Guess he wasn’t very successful, was he?

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.

+1000

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.

It's not grammatically correct. If you're saying "I could care less" then care less. The whole point is that you could NOT care less about the situation. Think about what you're actually saying.

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.

+1 million

I have kids. They are not the most important thing about me.

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.

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.

Aww, you think your kids are so special. They're not. Most teachers, nurses, doctors, firefighters, EMTs, physical therapists, occupational therapists, volunteers for animal shelters, etc. are going to contribute more to the world than your kids. Procreating doesn't mean anything. Cockroaches do it. Raising good children who will be contributing members to society is important but somehow I doubt you've managed to do that. Again, you flatter yourself way too much.

That beachy wave long bob IS a mom cut. Congratulations, you’ve achieved peak suburbia.

Yeah. That is "a" mom cut now . I have that too. It's fine. Agree that longer (real) hair on older moms like us doesn't usually look good. Also shorter than this is just giving up. I reallllly hate bobs, can I speak to the manager hair, and true mom hair (from the 80s or the golden girls) is pretty bad at our age. This is my least favorite hair. Just snobbery I guess.

The original reply was about “truly trailblazing women,” not about people with regular careers. Like teachers and firefighters and such … most of whom have kids. LOL. And again - what “truly trailblazing women” are wasting time here? I’m not “trailblazing,” but perhaps you would know? What trailblazing career do you have any why are you on a mom/dad/parenting forum without kids? I’m so curious!

No you’re not curious in the slightest. You are an incubator who most likely decided to stay at home (probably because you weren’t too bright for a career) and now you’re here telling us how you performed some kind of a service to society. Puppies have many litters too. Nothing special about it.

I'm not proud of this but I'm snobby about other people thinking they're some kind of "upper crust." I was raised this way, in a fairly well off family. I think it's a bit too far because I really feel repelled by that when I meet someone, and I kind of wish I didn't have an immediate judgment about it.

Refusing to date someone who didn't go to college.

I'm barely lower middle class - hanging on by a thread (or a dollar). But I am SO snobby about people who are new money and want everyone to know it. If everything you wear has to be a designer label, you have to tell everyone about all your designer purses, you brag about anything you buy, I am internally rolling my eyes while I smile and say "Wow, good for you!"

I am from New York. I no longer live there, but I am snobby about meeting someone who asks where I'm from and upon hearing I'm from there, says "Me too!" And when I ask "Oh, what part?" it turns out they are from JERSEY! And then they have this attitude of "well are you REALLY from NY?" Yeah, who would lie about claiming to be from Flushing? Just stop saying you're from New York when you're from a completely different state.
