Day’s first blogpost – two years into her four-year hell – concerned what she called the Tunnel, “the experience I had at the end of my time to become a mother. It’s a non-specific time, every woman knows what I’m talking about, and it’s kind of when your life is narrowing down and down and down, and you feel as if you’re stuck in this tunnel.”

Since so few of them are childless for medical reasons, I suspect it’s their babyish inability to compromise on anything that has gotten them in this situation.

Oh, the comments! These people need to stop saying they want to be parents, because it’s far more specific than that. They want to be the parents of non-defective biological offspring - 1 boy, 1 girl - while living in a house with a white picket fence with a perfect partner that they enjoy a perfect relationship with.

This person wants to equate suicidal tendencies with being childless and 43. This includes people who have kids because nature no longer has any use for them either and also anyone who is past reproduction age. So, basically anyone who lives a long life will experience this supposed feeling that nothing can prepare them for. If this was true why aren't there any mass suicides in the 43-84 age group?

I am not sure what "lack a sense of proportion" means but one reason I think suicides happen in younger people is that many of them are in college, not only are they at high risk of depression at that time but universities handle mental health treatment very badly.

Sounds like the average 13 year old to me. Arrested development, no doubt.Quote

Many times people are not that complicated. They just dont like anything telling them they can't do something and that includes biology. They just can't believe others have what they dont. They look at parents they know and probably block out the 500 complaints that we hear all day.
I've heard more than one man say being at work is the perfect place to avoid his kids and wife. I really hope that people are smarter than to think business guy is one in a million but arrested development of most states otherwise. They want the fairy tale after all, it is never too late.Quote

I just heard a dude on the radio say when he comes home from business flights, he actually stays at the airport an extra hour or so, to avoid his kids. People want to believe he's one in a million, and he's a jerk of some sort, but we CF know this is much more common than anyone will admit.

I was born in the 60's and I never wanted kids. I am so glad I figured it out early on and am not shackled to my stupid ass first husband. We weren't together long enough to even think of having brats, but I would have shut that down any way.

Same here. Just never saw myself as a parent. Add to that what I've seen childed friends go through with their kids, from babies to the boomerang adult variety, convinced me that I am a happy and fulfilled person without children, and I truly do not care what other people think about my choice.

Everyone has heartbreaks in life, and for some reason these CL wanna-bes just can't over come.
Yes! And this is the problem with defining yourself by the things you don't have, instead of wanting and being thankful for what you do.
