Not to rain on your parade, but it doesn't have much to do with your particular thread. We're just very productive!

Just to get things straight, I don't hate children in a way of actually hurting them of course. I like when my nephew comes to me, asking about something I'm doing. But he's my blood family, I have to have a certain patience with him.

And I want to clarify this...just because I have children does not mean I like ALL children. Actually, there is a good chance I am not fond of 20-30% of the kids I meet but I will watch more carefully as to produce more accurate figures for inquiring minds

You following me?

Anyway, back to the original thread. Who gives a crap. Don't want to have kids? So what, don't have them. Want to have kids? So what, then have them. Last time I checked there was no law saying that everyone had to have children. There are childfree people everywhere. I have many friends that don't have kids, family members, etc. I'm beginning to wonder if people who posts these threads ever really get out of the house because there really is no shortage of folks who don't want to have kids. And in my experience, I have found that more men want children than women.

Having difficulties finding other childfree people? It's not hard to find others like this at all Maybe it's personal, maybe it's just you.

Pft...fat chance. Ive been trying to get that out of my doctors since I was 18. If you find one that will do it, PLEASE let me know.

It's nice knowing there are females out there who do not plan on having kids. I have none and do not ever forsee having any in the future.

I don't recall one response in this thread that was "anti-child-free". It's anti-hatred. And we could do without those people in this world. We wouldn't go extinct without them.

However, there are people who, for whatever reason, don't share that same desire. There's nothing wrong with that, and you should respect their decisions.
Not having the paternal thing going is one thing; there is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing respectful about a person who hates, less so when it applies to kids.

By the way, it wasn't your post that came off as harsh, it was you.

Because there are laws against it.

Two totally conflicting statements. You either like it when he comes to you or you tolerate him. Make up your mind.

I'm not trying to chastise since it doesn't affect my life, but the contradictions are astounding.
