Some people really don't get this. We have a woman who routinely starts between 9.30 and 10. When we all get up to leave at 4/4.30 she starts with the part timer comments. She can't grasp thay when she walks in at 9.30 we have already been at work for at least an hour and a half! We don't make part timer comments or say "good afternoon" when she strolls in but thinks she's hard done by when we leave earlier than her.Hardly a part timer if you’re doing the same hours

It’s stupid isn’t it!! Every time she does I’d just have to make the comment “well I started earlier than you so?”
Just because people’s stupidity annoys me! It’s the same as when people gloat because they are off on annual leave… so what? If I wanted it off I’d have booked it off!!
I don't think they can do mathHardly a part timer if you’re doing the same hours
Yeah on the days I start at 4.30am I go home when they all go for lunch and they're like "half day again" and I'm like nah mate done my 8 hours so I'm going shopping now lol.

Not having kids frees up a lot of time, why should we spend that free time doing manual labour?
Same, I've always been a start early finish early type. I wake up early naturally and I have had comments from parents before along the lines of 'why were you up so early when you didn't need to be'!
The thing that gave birth to me is the reason I will never have kids. Not even sure the dirty woman can be called a female let alone mother. She is a vile narcasict who has no business being a mother and I will never ever put a child through that as how am I supposed to be a mother to a child when I have no idea what a mother child relationship is supposed to be like. The saying every child deserves a mother but not every mother deserves a child should be more well known, it’s relevant in thousands of kids lives.
Uh oh, the parents have found that Greg James article saw someone on Insta who already has two kids saying she totally understands where he's coming from because people are always asking when she's going to have another kid...?!
Stop trying to make everything about parents! It's not about you! Someone with two kids simply does not get questioned or treated the same way as a woman without kids.

i noticed that too in his insta comments, like he wrote an honest and frank article about why he doesn’t want kids, doesn’t think they would fit into his life, would mean he would have to give up things he enjoys….. and there are parents commenting like “yes know exactly where you’re coming from! people ask me when i’m going to have my seventh child all the time!”
why do parents want so desperately to be included in everything?! it’s like if we all went and joined a mother and baby group.
Because being a parent is their whole world, personally and life. How dare they be excluded!“parents: not everything is about you” needs to be the next thread title

It is so draining, stay in your lane. This is our conversation and as the articles explains we do not a parents point of view.
Putting this forward officially courtesy of you and @Platformcrocs in case it gets lost in comments -“parents: not everything is about you” needs to be the next thread title
Childfree by choice #6 Parents: not everything is about you
I spend the spare money I have from not having kids on having cleaners
reminds me of a very weird conversation my partner had with MIL (who we are no longer in contact with) about how we shouldn’t need cleaners, I was just ‘lazy’ (not him - note we do the same busy job…) and when he pointed out that another woman in his family has cleaners and his Mum never thought that was an issue, MIL replied ‘well (other woman) has kids so she needs cleaners’ 🫠🫠🫠 apparently you only deserve cleaners if you have kids otherwise you’re lazy! Sod that, my house, my money.How ridiculous! If you can afford a clean and you want a cleaner, then you get a cleaner! What’s having kids got to do with it?I spend the spare money I have from not having kids on having cleaners
We’ve debated before about getting a cleaner because we both work long days and we can’t be bothered spending the weekends cleaning!
My MIL is always under the impression that I should do the majority of the housework as well, despite the fact that we both work the same amount of hours! She gets so annoyed that I don’t baby her son, totally ridiculous! He’s more than happy to do his share, in fact he even takes my share of jobs from me without me asking
(Heads up: no kids in this anecdote)I spend the spare money I have from not having kids on having cleaners
I sent a video of my new robot vacuum cleaner making its way around the room - I'd just had laminate flooring installed and a quick run of it each day keeps the volume of dust bunnies down (also my long hair gets bloody everywhere - how?!). My mum responds with "how lazy you are!"
Piss off Mum, I work full time in a demanding finance job and I'm tired. You haven't worked since you were 25 and have a cleaner 3 hours a week for a house that only 2 people live in.
Yeah my husband is the one who cooks 90% of the time, when my dad found out he had a right go at me. Apparently my life's too easy

We got a cleaner last year and it was such a great decision. She comes every Friday afternoon and is fab, money very well spent to wake up on Saturday morning not having to go to work and the house is clean and tidy. Get the cleaner, enjoy your free time
My mother has also tried to pull the, "Oh, you have a cleaner?" judgemental bullshit before, however I reminded her that my nan would go round to her place and iron, bring food and clean her home. The difference is, my cleaner gets paid
Another day, another father on LinkedIn, "I have a new boss! They drool and sleep for two hours at a time... "
