@#$%&
I've got 3 bingo stories.
1. A couple of years ago I was in the car with my dad, (I was probably in the 15-17 year old range). We normally have good conversations, but when I mentioned that the idea of having children (especially the parasitic infection part), was repulsive to me, and how I liked being alone, and going to bed when I want to, and eating what I want to etc.... After I finished with my semi-rant, the first words out of my dads mouth were "You shouldn't assume that you'll always feel that way, you might change your mind". I called him on the patronizingness of his statement (I had not heard the term "bingo" yet), I likened it to telling a gay person that they might change their mind about being gay. I would go so far to say that not wanting kids is part of my gender identity (bisexual female non-breeder).
2. I was in my philosophy class (which was a load of :BS anyway, the prof hated hard science), and the duh-prof (who frequently talked about his daughter in a breederish manner) said the dreaded bingo "when you have kids" to the ENTIRE class, he was talking about how "when you have kids" you do all the parenting things you said you wouldn't (like using "cause I say so etc...). I feel really sorry for his adult former sprog. In any case right after he said that, I raised my hand and said "you shouldn't say "when" we have kids, since that alienates those of us who aren't planning on having kids" he responded that "sometimes things happen that you don't plan" in a really patronizing voice. I put on my stone-cold bitch face and said "that's why I'm glad abortions exist" At that moment everyone in the class looked at me with shock and awe. Of course I have a type of birth control that's more effective than tubal ligation, and very little interest in p in v sex, but I will say pretty much anything, even to a prof. As a side note, I got a A- in that class, most people got Bs. :cool
3. My mom said that "sucess is having two kids in college" refrencing me in my brother (not strictly accurate anyway as my brother just graduated.) I looked at her like

This thread makes me so grateful for my parents who get grand-bingoed since I got married.
My mom recently had the following conversation with a co-worker.
Co-worker: Oh, I'll bet you can't wait until ECB and Mr ECB have kids
Mother: ECB doesn't want to have kids
Co-worker: Oh, sometimes things just happen. They may just have an accident.
Mother: ECB doesn't have accidents. If she says she won't have any, then she won't have any.

Soon as I say my name, it starts.
"SO WHEN ARE YOU GONNAHAVE KIDSCONSUME?!?!?!1one!"
I bite my tongue so I don't reply, "Never, I fucking hatebratsconsumption." I was right in the middle of the tiger pit, that would have got me mauled.
I reply "Not planning on it." and of course the bingoes pop out rapid fire. You'll change your mind and want to consume, you never know when you'll want to consume, what if you have an accident and consume, and so on. Even a few "it's all worthitconsuming!" comments tossed in for good measure, even after all the bitching about how much it sucks beingsickbroke all the time.
It mercifully quit when the conversation topic changed, but I was just too stunned to say much more.
Ladies here, I know you get this so much more than us guys do and for that I am so sorry.

Ah, Christmas. The time for bingoes.
"But you'll regret it later on!" says my step-grandmother when my stepsister and I showed our disgust at the idea of having children.
Regret what, exactly? Changing shitty diapers? Waking up at all hours of the night to console a screeching banshee? Being tied to another human being for...oh...the rest of my life? Having said human being inherit my oh so wonderful genetics, which means many, many trips to the hospital? Dealing with tantrums? Ending up miserable and depressed and working shitty jobs like my parents?

I was reading a post the other day by someone who said she wasn't sure she wanted kids because she doesn't like babies and some guy responded that she should think about what kind of life she wants in the future, because "they won't always be young." Children as an investment for the kind of life you want to have when you're elderly seems like a bad choice to me. What about the years between now and then, don't they count for something? And what if you die suddenly and never make it to that retirement you've been yearning for? And what if you don't end up enjoying grandkids anymore than you enjoyed kids, and you resent having spent the healthy active years of your life passing up on what you wanted to do?
Of course the entire premise of telling you that you'll regret it is based on the idea that your dream for old age is the same as the breeder's. When I think of myself in 20 years, I don't want to be surrounded by family from my loins, even if I could jump there magically without all the years in between.

"You're such a good looking woman, I can't believe you're single." And - "What do you want to be in this shitty biz for? Why don't you get married and have a few kids?"

Some people were discussing "Feminism" (NOT in a positive light, trust) - and some guy said he didn't want his wife working because it was bad enough that he had to go out and 'do battle' amongst the shifty biz types and he didn't want her 'exposed to that'. And then he carried on with saying how ~ I forget the particulars but along the lines of how 'she was innocent' and how great it was (for him) to have 'pure love like that'.
