efsbSo all you’ve wanted to be was a broodmare? Hey, why don’t you move to a third world country and let some woman who actually wants a chance at an education and career leave her home. The only problem is you’ll be expected to clean house, cook your husband’s meals and raise the brats. No sitting around on your ever expanding ass watching soap operas while collecting WIC and welfare. Oh and there’s the possibility of being killed if you so much as wave to another man. But hey, it’s what you want isn’t it?Quote
A moo WITHOUT a life
That is all I ever wanted to be was a mom,I never wanted an education,career.....I also wanted a large family,we lost 3 and have a son. The only time I am seperated from him is when he is in school. We do not use daycare/sitters.
Note to the walking fistula that is Sarah Weir. Your jealousy is showing.

Folks, a moo came up with the "right" cover photo for Time http://www.thinkinghousewife.com/wp/2013/08/the-child-free-life-cont/
In the same post she calls us selfish (AGAIN). I mean she's spitting out the old and alone bingo with no one to take care of us but then she calls us selfish. And names herself THINKING housewife. Maybe should have been judgmental bitch.

I read that Time magazine has a survey about this but I didn't try it to see if it is still active.

I disagree with you about selfishness and parental devotion. There is good selfishness and bad selfishness. It’s usually bad to seek to benefit your own situation if the cost is harm to others.
But it’s reasonable and natural to try to improve your own situation if doing so is also helpful to others. For example a man who wants to become a great doctor so that he can heal other people and make a lot of money doing so.
Having children can be like this and there’s no shame in it.

But my point to Nick was that one shouldn’t openly express this selfishness, even though we may think that way. And the reason why we shouldn’t express it is because other people are involved and no child wants to think that he came about for strictly utilitarian reasons. (Nick wasn’t actually saying that, as he later clarified. ***read, backpeddling***) And parenthood always is more complex than that. Of course, it does involve self-interest and that’s not wrong.

Without a doubt. They're probably between 80 and 90 years old. Women didn't have much choice about being mothers back then. Pretty much all of them had kids.
Everyone I've ever heard of who's in a home was a parent. Sometimes that happens, when your "retirement plan" depends on being able to enslave another person into nurse duty: they simply refuse to comply.
Breeders have no idea what they're in for. And the in mean time, the childfree get to keep their money and save for their own old age, rather than playing Russian Roulette with a brat.
