Bound to happen sometime .. Plus bus issues.

Ok. Going to work. Bus stop. Mass gaggle moos. I wasn't the only non-childed there. One of these moos pipes up saying" mothers and babies first!" I rolled my eyes. All of the women with kids had these gigantic strollers that WOULD take up ALL the space. Naturally I jumped on first, pissing off every moo on the sidewalk single handedly. Woot!

Anyway, later at work I let it slip that I didn't want any kids. My co-worker then proceeded to bingo the hell out of me. She said (in no uncertain terms) that I WOULD change my mind. And then she told me to stop talking "like that"! Lol! Some people can seriously not wrap their heads around the idea of not wanting kids! Oh well, I knew this would happen eventually . Let the waffle house breeder brawl begin!

The title of "good parent" doesnt come freely from me. If you choose to dabble in creating new life, then my opinions of your actions will be harsher and my praise will be harder to elicit. It's a tradeoff. If you are foolhardy and shortsighted enough to try your hand at playing God, you best be willing to live up to the expectations that come with such a station. Hopefully you'll find SOME relief in your contention, as I have yet to see a generation who has...

When I read this quote from FB:
"U know the Devil is soooooooool busy! Hes trying evrything he can to spread his NASTINESS...... but u know what i say......HOLYGHOST FIRE!!!! IN JESUS NAME AMEN."
I LOL every time.

You're right about some people not being able to wrap their heads around not wanting kids.

I used to work with a lady who told me she couldn't figure out why I got married if I had no interest in having children, and once even told me I was selfish for not having kids. I generally avoided her and any time she decided to bingo me I changed the subject or walked away. I think she eventually got the hint.

I have no problem telling anyone who asks that I do not like children. I am beyond the point where I really give a shit if someone thinks I am some kind of monster because I don't like kids.

Down in the Southern United States where I have always lived and worked, the BINGOS are so continual, so steeped in society, common, overwhelmingly the majority consensus, and most times intertwined with the core of religious and political beliefs held by the great majority of our communities, it's much easier, safer, and better all around for a childfree person to shrug them off as if they are childless or just not childed yet. Most people down here take great personal offense to anyone childfree by choice and consider them many presumed "awful" things which include, UnGodly, anti-famblee, child haters, having mental problems, ant-country, extremely selfish, etc.....among others.

Openly being childfree down here and especially childfree the way some of us are in our attitude towards worthless WIC-Welfare whores and baby daddys, could actually be dangerous to your health under certain circumstances. I'm not condoning staying in the closet, but like outspoken feminists, gays, atheists, and pro choice people especially those involved in performing actual procedures, literally risk their lives for "coming out" down here, so would a stanch childfree person take that very real risk. An extreme example would be Salmon Rushdie, who while risking his life for his beliefs and in defense of the first amendment, still had the common sense to hide underground for a decade because he didn't want to die at the hands of a bunch of zealots. Being openly childfree down south can be considered similar, only on a much smaller scale for the average person.

It's difficult to believe unless you've experienced it first hand and my view on it may seem over the top and paranoid. However, even if it isn't an actual risk to your life to "come out" as a staunch childfree breeder hater, it can cost you your livelihood, if not your life, which is damned near as bad if you can't live, work, or own a business in your own breederfific community among the breeders and breeder pleasers who are mostly empty nesters and childLESS. to all of you willing and able to "come out".

If YOU are the "exception" to what I am saying, then why does my commentary bother you so much?
I don't hate your kids, I HATE YOU!

I know what you mean,Kim, I live in Florida, and while geographically the deep south, we have a pretty diverse population, with most folks coming from somewhere else. I know very few native Floridians, and I have been here for over 20 years. the southerners I do encounter around here are pretty old fashioned and set in their ways.

Anyway, I don't get too many people giving me a ration of shit about not liking children. I am not sure why, but the many friends I have who do have children seem to respect my decision and don't make a big deal about it. The fact that I am child free is such a small part of who I am, I guess the people I know just don't really care about it, plus at my age, it really is pretty late in the game to be tossing bingos at me.

We leave! Hard to say why, really. My sinuses are happier away from the swamps around Orlando.
