How many threads about not having children can we have in the parenting forum?
It is getting old.
Maybe we parents should ask the administrator for a "parents only" forum.
I was just thinking about how things might be easier if there were a CF forum lol, but a "parents only" forum could work too.

A parents only forum would not keep out those who don't have kids. There is no license needed to post in any forum. Anyone with an interest in any of the topics should be able to voice an opinion. Sometimes it's good to have viewpoints outside the norm.
I always appreciate it when others post and shed new light on things.
I've come to the conclusion that we've structured our society wrong. We fight our biology.
The greatest gift a person can give is wisdom to a new generation. The act of giving oneself over to another being should be the final act of one's life, yet we do this in the beginning or middle of our adult lives.
It seems to me it would make more sense for young people in their reproductive prime (say about 15-30) to bear children and elders (roughly 60+), after having lived a life in which they fulfill their own self purpose, actually raise the children and transpose that wisdom.
You can see it playing out with those on the top of the economic heap - the more educated, mobile, and financially stable, the later in life they wait to have children until they're up against the extreme of their biology. The least educated and least mobile still have children as early as possible.

I would like to be able to participate in a forum here in C-D where serious parenting topics are discussed. A place for us parents to be able to share in the wisdom that only comes from being a parents. A place where non-parents, if the chose, can learn what really goes into being a good parent.
Not a place for no-parents to constantly insult parents and children.
I think all the "why would anyone want to have children" threads are driving parents away. I myself quit this forum for a while. The only reason I am back and post in this type of thread is in hopes that change will happened.
I like C-D because it helped before I moved. But now that I am settled in my new home I look to the other C-D forums.
I am aware that people can post whatever they want where ever they want. But the mods can move threads. I wish all the anti-parent threads were moved elsewhere even if they have to create another forum for them.
You have it all wrong, kids are supposed to respect adults, not the other way around.
You're funny.
Wait... wait... wait... I thought we were all supposed to behave respectfully towards each other regardless of who we are?
How are our kids supposed to learn how to behave properly if we do not first model and teach them - by doing - the proper behaviors? It's a mirroring task.
Same here. Kids not for me. Too expensive, consume too much time, and cause too much stress. Not to mention they destroy your career and sex life.
