[quote=Anonymous]I am married with no kids. I felt treated more "unfairly" - if you'd put it like that - when I was single, more than I do on account of not having kids. (I married in my late 30s.)I hated that - it really did feel like being a second class citizen, as a single person.

We have a lot of friends who don't have kids. And I don't feel as if our families treat us badly for not having kids. There are some irritations, sure. Like my husband's brother has three kids, and the expectation is that we will always be the ones to make the effort to see them and they never make the effort to see us. The excuse is that they couldn't possibly come see us, or go out of their way, because of course they have kids. Ya know, it's irritating but in the scheme of things it's not that big of a deal. (Though my husband is pretty fed up.)

But yeah I think it's a good idea to be cognizant of the possibility that you might treat someone else as if their life or their time is less important than yours because they don't have kids.[/quote]
