Opinions are points of view formed by our observations and life experiences, and I simply hate it when someone patronizingly says mine is less valid than theirs. Of course, curious, intelligent people are going to inquire about certain life choices, because it's how thoughtful people gather information in order to form their opinions.
Your online sparring partner seems to be missing the bigger point altogether, and falls back on his knowing better than anyone without children, because he's seen "both sides" and is therefore uniquely qualified to pass judgement on your point of view.
With that writer's line of thinking, Deegee, I could never have opinions about things like cannibalism, murder, or animal cruelty, either, having never actually committed any of those acts, but in that context, his argument is ridiculous, so his entire argument falls apart.

Well, Deegee, I think it's much easier for that childed poster to summarily dismiss your point of view rather than look at his own life and think about how many more working years he still has. You are proof positive that retirement at a relatively young age is possible because you are CF, and that probably makes him very uncomfortable. I think people who are saying things like "I feel sorry for you," are, in actuality, jealous of your financial independence, but aren't honest enough to say so.
