[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

We don't have any tvs in the house, so I don't watch soap operas. I exercise, read, plan our travels (we take at least two international trip with kids each year), I cook from scratch (my kids never ate Gerber baby food or any other jarred food). My kids are in high school, college and after college now and I contributed amazing healthy (no mental or physical health issues) human beings to this society. Don't feel guilty at all. Feel very proud of them. [/quote]

Plan your "travels"?

It's so hard to tell whether or not this poster is a troll...[/quote]

Look you have your 9-5 but you have no idea how much time it takes to plan two international trips per year.[/quote]

I have two kids AND I am a perfectionist and meticulous planner of trips... because I love to plan trips. We go to Europe and Asia.

So I can only assume your comment was sarcastic, because frankly planning my international trips is the least laborious thing I do in my life :-)

You bury yourself in distraction, devoting yourself to work and "meticulously" planning vacations, instead of devoting yourself fully to a woman's highest calling- motherhood. Sad. Not as sad as if you'd never had children. But still tragic and pitiable, for both you and your children.[/quote]

Why is parenting the highest calling for women but not men?

1950 called, they would like their mindset back. [/quote]

If it is not misogyny to say that a woman's life is pitiable and empty without children, it is not misogyny to say that motherhood is the highest calling for women. Those viewpoints are in the same line of thinking. Why for women and not men? Well, just as humans were designed to reproduce, and if you don't do so your life is empty, women have a far greater role in reproduction, and if the woman doesn't devote herself fully to that, she has fallen short in her life's purpose.

So childless Mother Teresa's life was pitiable and empty, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg did not devote herself to her life's highest calling by being there full-time for her children.  [/quote]

Oh, now I get it.

Your life has had more meaning than that of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Mother Teresa.

Women’s most vital organ is their uterus, not their brain. Got it.

And you are influencing the next generation. What could possibly go wrong.

I'm glad you understand. That's exactly what I'm saying.

As many in this thread have pointed out from the first page, women without children have empty, meaningless lives. Mother Teresa, Sonia Sotomayor, Harper Lee, Joan of Arc, Rosa Parks, Betty White- they never knew a life filled with purpose, although perhaps they believed they did, and others around them were likely willing to support their delusion by saying encouraging things to these women while disguising their secret pity for them. Very sad cases.

Women like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Marie Curie, and Sojourner Truth lived meaningful lives, although their lives would have had far greater meaning had they focused solely on [i]the[/i] thing that makes life meaningful- their children- instead of engaging in work outside the home (including the work done in bondage, in the case of Mrs. Truth). Of special note in this category are women like Dorothy Vaughan and Amy Coney Barrett, who, though they strayed from their highest calling by pursuing a career, at least had many, many children to amplify the meaning of their lives.

The women who have the most meaningful, purposeful, fulfilling lives are those who have children and don't split their attention by having a career. Yes, women like myself. And of course, of special note in this category are women like Hilaria Baldwin- a woman whose full love and focus goes to her seven children.

This is simple logic, simple math- Meaningfulness Math, you could call it.[/quote]
