So much to do and so little time. And unless some committed parents absolutely want the experience of raising kids, there is not one rational reason to add another human to this overcrowded planet.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076336986945612324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155688048560818982.post-24358124802848541852010-04-20T13:39:52.444-07:002010-04-20T13:39:52.444-07:00Yeah, one of my husband's cousins has a wife t...Yeah, one of my husband's cousins has a wife that has two kids that she had really young and she's always posting crap on Facebook like "Bryghtten threw his poopy underwear in the dryer and I didn't know about it and now all my clothes have to be rewashed and I have to disinfect the dryer".

Parents seem to be very open (at least recently) to telling me how awful things are, and only once in awhile am I getting the "but it's all worth it" backpedal. This is definitely a new phenomenon.

I never saw being childfree as an option, being a married woman...it was a given in this world where family basically means married with kids. but the reality is I don't want children.

I mean, they can’t say that it was a mistake because they’re dealing with other human beings.
