If they're good friends and care about you, they'll work around. I think many are just afraid that you'll fall off the face of the earth and forget they exist.

See here's the thing: it's totally cool that you wonder about it, but I appreciate the fact you don't put on the patronizing sing-song voice and say, "THEY ALL SAY THAT, THEN THEY ALLLLL CHAAAAANGE THEIR MIIIIIINDS!!1!"

And who says the husband gets to decide for you that you're going to have children? "Sorry honey, I've decided against your will that you're going to be carrying my children."

"Everyone I know" is a terrible way to measure something.

Do you have to be so fucking patronizing? It's not a god damn fad to not want kids - a population of seven billion people should be testament to that!

Christ, this whole thing screams BIOTRUTHS.

You just did.

Why do so many people confuse, "Hey this option didn't really work for me, there are other options out there" with "Hey, anyone who does this option is a stupid cunt who hates their own children"?

And let me guess, if her skirt were just a few inches longer that girl wouldn't have been raped, right?

No, you were trying to brag about how you're such a better mother than others who didn't "accomplish" as much as you did.

No, you only pay attention when someone criticizes something you hold to be sacred. Sorry, but parenthood isn't that special, so get over yourself.

Hahahahaha, are you fucking serious? Is that really the best you can do?

Oh noes, someone had a different experience than I did and now I'm offended!

Christ, get over yourself.

Oh noes! My privilege is being challenged!

So you've seen everything in this world then? And strangers are never wrong or just plain assholes? Never ever ever?

This site has lots of folks who do the passive aggressive "I support whatever decision you choose, but I'm going to tell you that you need to do more research if you choose not to breastfeed as often as I think you should" thing.

This is what I hate hate hate about liberal causes: it's always "we have to do one thing, and it has to be my thing and we can never do two things at once and heaven forbid I join someone else who's doing something that's my #2 priority instead of my #1".

Yeah, and neither are missing black children.

There's no need to poison the well here.
