[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I weren't able to have kids.  (We tried everything and then some.)  At work, and in our circle of friends, the women with kids really have a sort of lovely community of sorts.  How do women like this see women without kids?  [/quote]

I will be honest. I always feel a bit sad, like they are missing out on something so special, that you cannot duplicate anywhere else. Even if it is by choice or they are over the moon about not having kids.

It isn't pity or judgement. I would never say anything about it. It is just a tinge of sadness.[/quote]

I agree. If I know they don't want kids, fine. But if they're on the fence or they want kids and can't have them, then I do feel sorry for them. But I'd never say anything either way.

Except to one friend, who claims to want kids but, as far as I can tell by her choices and actions, doesn't really. When she says things like maybe when she's done with her latest high-powered new job she'll adopt a six year old because six year olds are easy to parent, I really want to tell her that kids aren't dogs and she has no f-ing clue what she's talking about. But I know she'll probably never follow up on it so I don't bother.[/quote]
