Haha, that literally makes no sense.

haha I was gonna say society worships the parenting lifestyle! I am having a blast without kids as well ;) And for some reason everyone seems to think that involves excessive amounts of partying. I just like to sleep and do thins on a whim!

I totally agree. I just think we are still in a world where there are huge expectations especially on women to *want* to have kids* I think a lot of people ignore the nagging thoughts in their minds that they may not want kids or be good parents and then we end up with a lot of this. I want every child in the…

Yes and those are the parents who for a brief moment make me kind of want to have kids, and then I snap out of it. It is totally programmed and same with the wedding stuff. I had to fight hard not to g too overboard with mine. (Mainly against my mom, haha)

Agreed!

I'm glad you brought this up because in between telling me how miserable they are, some of them will be like but you should totally have some. JOIN US. BE MISERABLE WITH US so I don't have to feel so shitty about my life decisions!

Yeah I have heard from multiple people, very shockingly, that if they could go back they might not have had kids. I appreciate the honesty. I think admitting that is so difficult, especially when you do have love for your children. And of course one they are here you couldn't imagine life without them. But I…

My sister has one, and she is a great kid, but she's still a kid. I haven't spent a lot of one on one time time with my sis lately, but we went out to dinner the other night and I felt like she was going to burst into tears with how frustrating everything is. It's just a lot to take on, and I am comfortable with not…

Absolutely. I want people who want kids to be able to have them, and I want people who question it or don't want it, to not have kids. There's enough resentment and unhappiness and frankly, people in this world. I feel like I am doing a service to to myself, my husband and the world by choosing not to. And I'm…

I hear it EVERY time I spend time with friends with kids. I am happy with my decision so far.

Honestly most parents I know IRL, say this stuff to me all the time. That they love their kids, but if they could take it back.... When we tell them we don't want kids, they say, "Good... DON'T DO IT!".

So cute.

GAMEPLAY!

I keep trying to tell people "Don't take pictures of a giant plate of tan/brown food!" You need some green or red in there. Martha Stewart is also infamously a bad food photographer...

Today, 66% of the best tech Twitter feeds, tomorrow the WORLD!

You're right, we all should have discovered and understood feminism at the exact pace that you did.

I don't know, but attacking her won't help.

Sure... I am aggressive when it comes to not giving people a pass on terrible bullshit, but this to me reads as naive, and scared, and lacking self assuredness... I think she is on the verge of a breakthrough, but just not wuite there yet. I feel like if I had publicly said this (and I certainly had the same…

Well said! Attacks along the way do not help! Let's encourage and educate instead of writing off, because "she's old enough" to know better.
