This is totally my Darwinian theory on why I don't want kids - I'm an only child and the combo of my parents' mental conditions doesn't need to go past me on this family tree.

That's like saying you're Canadian when traveling to avoid being lumped with US stereotypes. At some point being honest might help change people's minds or make them less judgmental, though it's an uphill battle to be sure...

By that logic, you could also convince yourself you're infertile and start having unprotected sex and then get pregnant, so.

I get so upset at people's condescension toward my not wanting kids that I can barely formulate an answer. So instead I fantasize about the perfect clever retort that makes them suddenly realize and forever rectify their one-sided world view... realizing that the problem is actually that I have to explain it at all. …

Am I the only one who has a problem with the sheer expense of hair removal? Regular bikini waxing could easily top $100/month, on top of the $200-$400 every few months for maintaining cut and color of the hair on your head. Men don't have these expenses yet expect women to maintain on this level? Reminds me of that…

Because at the child-having age, everyone just wants validation that they made the right choice.

This one makes me want to GrrrrrrraaaAAAAHHHHH like that kid in the dentist YouTube video. That kid I will never have because I DON'T WANT THEM.

Most passive-aggressive unsolicited opinion ever: Once when I was 25 and wore a miniskirt on the subway, an elderly woman next to me started praying for my legs. I was like, God made them, you're not telling him anything new.

I'd borrow this but could never keep a straight face. Amazing.

Literal LOL

L&O alums ftw!

What if we don't have kids? Do we freeze at teen?

Wait, what?!?! I didn't hear that other story.

Ok, had to pull a "Where is she now?" search on Baby J. Seems like she turned out ok - a missing toe and a scar, lots of surgeries, but a family, home, & trust fund.

A million times this. All choices, including religious practice, are up for debate and examination - especially those which impact others.

"This," she commented, while enjoying her cappuccino.

Somehow, those two sentences create a perfect pun.
