[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel sorry for people without children. I really do. But I will never ever reveal my thoughts in any way. Instead, I will say something like, "oh wow, I wish we could just head off to Europe like you" but know that I am just blowing smoke up your a-s trying to make you feel good. Inside I feel pity for you.[/quote]

I feel sorry for working mothers. I really do. But I will never reveal my thoughts in anyway, unlike Harrison Butker, although I wholly agree with him.

Instead, I will say something like, "oh wow, congratulations in your promotion! I wish I had a high-powered career like you" but know that I am blowing smoke up your a-s trying to make you feel good for choosing to have your children raised by other women. Inside I feel pity for you. [/quote]

Don't you ever feel guilty about not contributing to your family or society at-large? How many soap operas and daytime talk shows can you really watch while your kids are at school before the weight of your choices sinks in? [/quote]

No, I don't. Having children is the most meaningful thing you can do in life- really the only thing that makes a life meaningful. And given that my children have my full love and dedication, unlike the children of working mothers, my life is even more meaningful than most people's. I get that you don't understand if you're a working mother- that's okay. I would never say this to people like you in real life. I would just silently pity you, and try to say encouraging things to you when you talk about your work so you don't feel so bad about the choices you've made to have other women raise your life's most precious gifts.

Life meaningful for you because you have nothing else going on in life  :lol: Whatever makes you feel better..have at it.[/quote]

No, life is meaningful for me because I have kids and don't neglect them emotionally by having a job as well.

It's simple logic. Shame that a career woman like yourself cannot follow it.

Many previous posters throughout this thread have said over several pages that the lives of those without children are meaningless, empty, and pitiable.

As those PPs have pointed out, having children is what makes life meaningful.

And so those like myself, who love our children enough to actually raise them instead of outsourcing it, have even [i]more[/i] meaningful lives.

Again, just like the many PPs who've said they'd never share with their childless coworkers that they pity them when they talk about their vacation plans, weekend plans, or lives in general, I would [i]never[/i] actually tell a career woman to her face that I am only trying to up her self-esteem by pretending I feel anything other than sadness for her at trying to fill the obvious emptiness she has inside by choosing to be at work rather than with her kids.
