[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do childless even find a "DC Urban Moms and Dads" parenting site? Well, I digress...

Here's the thing: Some can't have kids. Medical, whatever. I understand that. The childless by choice faction I guess I'll never understand, coming from a big, loving family and having a loving family myself. Yes, you avoid a lot of the bullshit of kids, diapers, puke, teenage rebellion, etc. But you also miss out on birth (the single greatest thing in the world), infancy, adoring eyes looking up at you, snuggles at night, bathtime, molding children, etc. But here's the part a lot of people don't mention: Who is going to look out for you when you are 89 and can't get up stairs? Or drive? Life is cyclical -- [b]I nurtured, loved, took care of everything for my children when they were newborns and couldn't do it, and I have no doubt they will look out for me when I am in my old age and can't do it.[/b] [/quote]

Not unless you are the one taking care of your elderly parents. This is hardly related to the childfree discussion. You children will do what you did with your mom and dad--put you in a home and visit once in a while. If you're lucky, that is.[/quote]
