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.

I know someone who visited America from the isle of Guernsey, she kept telling the story of Americans asking where she was from and when she said Geurnsey every person said ‘Oh, Ner Jersey’!!!
Like a person who says Finland, and the reply is ‘Oh, New Finland, that small country next to Canada’

But Guernsey is near Jersey. Are you sure your friend isn't thick?

That is nowhere near New Jersey

No it's near Jersey, as I clearly stated. Nobody mentioned "New" Jersey. Most Americans know that if there is a "New" here, the original is probably somewhere in England or elsewhere in Europe. I highly doubt a stupid American would even associate Guernsey with the state of New Jersey; they just wouldn't know where on earth Guersey was located.

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.

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.

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!

I don't know why you're telling me what I posted, but ok. I responded to the person who said a career is never more important than family. I said most kids aren't that great and many careers make much more of a difference than your parenting. But I could barely read your post so I'm not sure what else you're prattling on about. Try grown up sentences next time.

Dark is my favorite, but I also love milk and sometimes white. I especially love nuts, fruit or toffee in the chocolate. And I love crispy or crunchy over smooth.

If it's chocolate that comes from a grocery or chain store, I have zero interest. It all just tastes so grainy.

We vacationed in CA near Sees Candy and it was pretty good.

I only have chocolate candy once a year or so if we travel somewhere that has a specialty chocolate shop.

It's also handy to be this kind of snob now when we have buy chocolate for Halloween and end up with extras. I have no temptation, and donate to the food pantry on Nov 1.

See's Candy is considered the Hershey's chocolate of California. I live in SF, and work about a block and a half from a See's - I would never buy anyone chocolate from there. If you're ever in SF, try Dandelion Chocolate, Christopher Elbow, or Recchiuti.

Yes! And add gender reveals and showers to this too. Showers are fine, but the expense and theming now is absurd. So many I see now are hosted at a venue with full catering and decor and look like a small wedding!!

DP. Just curious… how “great” would a kid have to be to make him or her worthwhile if s/he might interfere with your career? How is this greatness measured? If the kid grows up to cure cancer, is that good enough?
