My favorite response to that is “So will you, but you can’t return them.” Try it! First time I ever saw someone turn puce.

They can procreate all they like, they just need keep their judgments to themselves.

And once you have one, they’ll ask if you are having more.

Preach. I’m a 29 year old dude and I don’t want children. I like kids and I have five nephews that I adore but they’re not for me. But I’m sick and damn tired of hearing condescending shit like “Oh, you’ll change your mind when you find the right woman.” Yep. That’s what it is. I don’t want children because I haven’t…

Keep her in your life! ALL my friends have kids—some in college, some under 1—and most of them have multiples. I decided not to take this personally early on and have made an effort to keep in contact with them even if we see each other once or twice a year. Now that many of the kids are older, I find my mom-friends…

Just remember to do it ethically. Make sure the people who build your gingerbread house are paid a living wage.

I wondered that myself. Probably a combination of jealousy, resentment and judgment. Still kind of sucks to be excluded from the women’s table/group/conversation.

Kids take up every fucking minute of your goddam life, and they’re an inconvenience to others, which is why Moms usually band together in packs. Spread out the misery.

I fucking love how much she says fuck. Also, much appreciate her saying us childless women are brave. I get so many annoying comments about my lack of children...why don’t you have kids? When are you going to have kids? Don’t you want kids? What, you don’t have kids? Oh, you’ll change your mind, kids are the most…

I decided not to have children. It’s not bravery, but I do have to prepare myself for the neighborhood functions. The cold shoulder I get from the moms is very chilly.

great. oh and let me insist on this, most emphatically: DO NOT use curly parsley. that stuff belongs in the compost heap.

Oh no! Wow. Well definitely stay away from milk.

Candy corn is glorious. I propose that anyone who doesnt like candy corn to send them to my home

Forgive me for prying, but it’s to find you a fix. What do you mean you can’t have dairy? Are you lactose intolerant, do you have an allergy, or are you vegan? I’m asking because— options.

Basil can turn very bitter once it bolts, flowers and seeds. Stalks and older leaves can also be soapy or bitter.

So many people don’t understand predation and women. Here’s a funny story. I was out with friends at a neighborhood bar. They left, I was cool.

Mmhmm.

Just because it doesn’t work for you doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for other people.

Free advice: anyone who espouses a vague Eastern free-yourself-from-attachment-and-desire philosophy while simultaneously being filthy rich is most likely 100% definitely a con man.

I don’t know what you’re doing here, but I think you might be in the wrong place.
