I don’t know why they’re saying stuff like do you have kids and you’ll understand when you have kids, on Mumsnet a few weeks ago was a woman having a childfree wedding except her own kids, there’s often threads on there and I’ve seen threads on Reddit about people having childfree weddings either with their own children or with even their own children not attending. It’s not unusual to see on step parenting forums/sub forums where eg the bride and grooms shared children are not attending but the children from the grooms previous marriage feel left out because they aren’t invited but they aren’t being because it’s childfree but how do you explain that to 5-10 year old.Massive side eye. I did not want any children at my wedding (including babies) because of the potential noise. Babies cry, kids scream and you can’t control that. This “holier than thou” entitlement by mums is a huge reason why I am childfree. Do they not remember what it was like before their whole life revolved around their crotch goblins?

Christ that's genuinely tragic.I went to a corporate event yesterday, this will be a working group on a project for the next 18 months, the first time we’ve all met. We did the usual intro of who you are, your daily job role, your project role and an interesting fact. One woman’s interesting fact was ‘I’m a mum’
The cry laughing emoji takes the nauseating comment to a new level honestly.This was the first comment on a reel from a neurodiverse person talking about exhaustion from working a full time job.
Thankfully everyone in the replies saw sense and pointed out how being a parent is a choice. It’s shocking how this person can lack any empathy and laugh at how someone’s disability affects them!
Imagine if their children are neurodiverse or have a disability, would they laugh at them too?

And I thought I was the youngest person in the world who read Liz JonesI had my grandma say a couple of days ago that I'm too old to ever have a child now and old enough that I should be a grandmother. I'm 34 so yes, I'm old enough to be a grandmother but only if I had a child by 17 and then they had a child by 17 - before either of us was a legal adult. My sister has a 14-year-old stepdaughter; wonder if grandma has been asking her why she isn't a mum yet?
No offence to you grandmother but I often wonder if comments like this are because they’re projecting. Misery loves company and all that.I had my grandma say a couple of days ago that I'm too old to ever have a child now and old enough that I should be a grandmother.

Shouldn't be a problem. Parents of those kids are likely to be unhealthy too so probably won't see old ageUnder fives betrayed as health declines - experts - BBC News
A really saddening read - and a bleak outlook for all those parents relying on their kids to look after them in their old age!

My MIL often says my husband and his brother ruined her life. It was nothing but sacrifice for her. Never had money or life quality. But then says oh she loved her kids and that’s what life is all about and why don’t we at least consider the joy it’d bring. The same joy she says she had to wait 25 years to get rid of her kids, divorce their dad that she hated and find someone rich to give her the life she always wanted, now it’s “her time”. Yeah sounds absolutely fantastic, we will get right on thatNo offence to you grandmother but I often wonder if comments like this are because they’re projecting. Misery loves company and all that.
If they got divorced she can use this article as proof that his only contribution was financial and it was her and her mother doing all the childcare and domestic tasks!Wow his poor wife having to be a carer to her son and that hairless ball bag too. I hope she leaves him and rinses him in the divorce!
