[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think about them in a negative way, in some ways I'm jealous of their freedoms.  But I do hate when people who don't have kids complain about being tired or not having enough time.  Or having to work late and miss their yoga class.  It's ok to feel that way but don't complain about it to a mom with young kids.

I often wonder how many of my childless friends would handle being parents, especially seeing some of the people I do know with kids who can barely keep it together. [b] I think its just really hard to be able to understand the magnitude of how much parenting changes your life[/b] and then they try to compare your experience as a parent with their experience as an aunt or godmother or whatever.  I get that they are just trying to participate in the conversation and I appreciate that but it's like talking to your friend with cancer about how you felt when you had a cold.  [/quote]

They understand, which is why they made a different choice. [/quote]
