Indeed. It's a lifestyle choice. Parents should be the last people not to get the lifestyle disparity with and without them! Not to say I'm 100% against having kids, but when I do meet that special someone, I want to travel and experience the coupled life for four or five years before they interfere with that. A LOT of people roll this way. Maybe not in lower echelon and/rural classes, but college educated, metro types often do. I don't understand how this is "entitlement" to want to sync lifestyles as such.
Someone I know compared it to this: when you marry, you marry the spouse and his family but when you marry a parent you also marry the kids, the ex and the ex's family. It's bad enough when a couple marries to change their lifestyle to fit each other's but with a kid it's worse. The person without kids is expected to change far more.

Not always true. Neither of my children see their fathers or their families. Well one is deceased but still don't see his family.
I turned down a childless, degreed bird that was a 10 the other day.
Why?
Her bed in the background had no dust ruffles.
No dust ruffles = not ready for long term nesting. I wonder what the toaster crumb tray looks like.
Well, maybe she wasnesting and was laundering it?
