[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, they are treated unfairly at times by unthinking people. I am childless (not by choice) and [b]have had neighbors ask if we have children--when I say no, they turn around and walk away,[/b] like we aren't even worth knowing. Many women with kids expect me to be available at any time they want to see me, because "of course" I don't have as much to do. [/quote] I've experienced this. We were new in a neighborhood and when a few families came to introduce themselves, they kind of made a face when they found out we didn't have kids. One guy asked why we'd want to move into that neighborhood, known for being family friendly and close to good schools, and take it away from another family. Yikes, nice to meet you, too! [/quote] Someone really did this? I just can’t imagine this reaction. Did you key that guy’s car? [/quote] Ha, I hope so. Sorry PP, I'm the poster who had this happen too. Hugs to you. In the DC area, I decided we should live in a crappy school district, save some money, and not be shunned by the neighbors in the "kid friendly" areas. I've had it happen twice before. One of my friends thinks I'm crazy, not living where we really want, but she has kids and has never had anyone be mean to her for being childless before. Good for you for living where you wanted pp![/quote]
