[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are responding this way because OP came to a parenting site and basically said THANK GOD I don't have your shitty lives, not because they care she doesn't want kids or are unhappy in their own lives. I don't think OP was trying to be mean, but it came off a little rude. I'm not going to go on some childless by choice website and start extolling the virtues of parenthood. [/quote]

YES, because this site only offers a place for people w/ children? Are you serious? I am pretty sure the most epic thread on here in recent times was about #pochingbobcats, no? I also see SEVERAL posts about 20's somethings and people asking about dating advice and most if not all of those people are child free. Also, there is an entire explicit section where people are certainly not talking about their kids, or maybe you have never ventured over to that section? LOL....SERIOUSLY get off your soap box, the OP was not telling YOU or any one else who is a parent that THEIR lives are shitty, but that it is not what she or her husband want to sign up for!

I don't think you should take this so personal. I am a parent and I certainly don't feel like she is telling me my life sucks, just that we wanted/want to lead a different life style....and guess what? WHO CARES? her advice is good and all childless parents should try out what they did, just so they can experience the work aspect that goes into child rearing irregardless of this whole "it's different when they are your own and you have raised them since birth. I guess all those people are completely forgetting about the portion of the population who adopts older children, or people who are foster parents. Humans can love a child even if they are older and it is not their own by birth. [/quote]
