I was wearing a nice maxi dress, good white bag, black sandals and red lipstick. My hair was neat and coiffed, and I felt really good about myself. After the incident occurred, I had to think about why she did that. I told my husband about it and he said, "You are the mirror which she has a hard time seeing herself in." Meaning, I was a reflection of what she could have been, had she not had loaves.
She was at least ten years younger than me, no makeup, hair in a messy pony tail, and her clothes looked like Walmart garbage. Too bad, so sad, moo, I made a lifestyle choice based on what I wanted, not what I felt I had to do. As a result, I get to age with grace, wear what I want, and feel good about doing it.

She used to tell me how she couldn't understand why women became slobs after the sproggen.

Thank you, Peace! As I get older, I create a motto for myself with every new birthday. This year it's 48 and fierce!
It reminds me that I can grow older without letting the process of aging change the way I feel about myself. If I'm having a bad hair day, I just remind myself of my year's motto, and it makes me feel better. A little inner therapy to help me, I guess, because I've suffered with low self esteem my whole life.
I have had incidents where moos have given me strange looks, mainly because I don't have bastards in tow when I go out. They are usually saddled with multiple brats of varying ages. I guess when they see me feeling confident, unencumbered and free, it pisses them off.
I've written this here before, but on one Mother's Day, I was in the grocery store doing my shopping. The cashier offered me a carnation, as she did to all women. I didn't want to carry the flower along with my groceries, so I just told her "I'm not a mother, but thank you." She insisted on giving me the flower anyways, so I took it. A moo behind me in the lineup nearly had a conniption fit because I wasn't a moo, but still received a flower.
So much for moos being better, more compassionate people! Maybe I was a CL woman who couldn't have loaves. She didn't know if I was a moo to "Angle Babies" (sp for lols) She doesn't know who I am, or why I don't have them. I put the flower in a bud vase when I got home, and just kind of laughed about the whole incident.
ChildFree women really do freak the moos out, don't we?

I have some female friends who have kids, but they don't make their kids their lives. I think the difference is that they are all professionals with careers, as opposed to unemployed or just showing up at an office for a paycheck. They have ambition, which means they are actively doing things because they know that being a parent means nothing when it comes to interviewing for a higher position. Because they are engaged in life, we have things to talk about.
When people are coasting through life and are content with that, I often find them a bit dull to talk to but pleasant enough. It's not for me, but if they're happy, more power to them.
It's the people who aren't going anywhere and who are bitter as fuck about it who are envious of everyone else. I can have sympathy when the cause was circumstances beyond their control, but when it's choices like having kids, I just find it amusing. Those looks of envy just make my day.

Yes, seeing how miserable moos and duhs are about their...yes...lifestyle CHOICE always reinforces the fact that I've avoided all that misery, and I'm much better off for it. It doesn't matter what a CF's person's life is like, the fact that we never sluiced makes things much more tolerable.
I have enough responsibility as it is. I have to care for my mental health, I'm a correspondence student trying to get my diploma, I'm managing a household and caring for my pets and husband. If I had to throw loaves into the mix, I'd never get anything done, because all my attention would be going to caring for the loaf and keeping my sanity intact.
Then again, I'm preaching to the choir, aren't I?
