Which is why I’d say “over a year” you dumbfuck - much like I would when generally asked how old a child is. If someone asks your age, do you answer in months ? Do you celebrate monthly birthdays? The answer should be “no.”

So, so smug. Not for one minute will I even entertain that you felt morally obligated to have children as a favor to mankind. You had children because you wanted to.

His point remains. You sound dumb saying that you have a 15 month old. No one fucking cares about the difference between a 12 month old and a 15 month old except you. If I ask you how old your baby is and you say 15 months I know that baby has fried your brain.

Boy, did this become a Thing. Okay:

I literally do not care lol. When a child has passed the one-year marker, they are one year old.

I’m a mom who tries to talk people out of it. My husband’s unmarried child-free buddy was in town this weekend, and lightly chided us for not traveling more. He was all, “It’s so cheap if you do it right!” And I was like, “Even if I told you I had the money in my pocket right now, where would I put the child?!”

The wife and I are seriously thinking of going this route, to continued pestering from both sets of parents. Lately they’ve been pulling the “would like a grandkid before I go” card during every phone call.

I remember when I was young my grandma would always say ‘ you’ll never meet a man and have kids if you do (insert terrible thing I did to offend her sensibilities)‘ and I would always say ‘So, I don’t care about that!’ And she would tell me I would all wise and knowing.

I’m convinced that this is why some parents are so rabid about hounding child-free folks to reproduce. It honestly never occurred to them that not having kids was an option, and they don’t want someone else to “get away with it”.

Preach. I’ve been doing my part not having babies for 36 years, and I hope to not have babies for the next 36.

I think it is probably because children ruin EVERYTHING. Seriously. Don’t have babies people.

Cuz kids suck. Duh.
