[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in my early 30s and a director at a large, fortune 100 firm.[b] In a long term relationship, my husband is active duty military[/b]. We elected to wait to have kids and it seems like the snide comments I get have increased lately.

Things like ‘DH and I are taking a long weekend down at the beach’ are met with ‘wow must be nice to not have kids, we could never do that’ and when discussing my evenings things like mentioning [b]i read a book by the fire pit(obviously not turned on) [/b]just get crooked eyed comments.

Am I missing something [b]or do people genuinely dislike others having control over their lives?[/b][/quote]

Honestly; some of the details you shared in your post are pretty strange / random…I wonder if you’re coming across as weird or socially awkward in person. If a coworker said the ‘read a book by the (turned off) fire pit’ comment to me, I would probably respond the way your coworkers do because I am polite and it’s obvious that that’s the kind of validation you’re looking for

Regardless, if you DO want kids don’t want toooo long or you might be the one feeling like you don’t have control over something in your life![/quote]
