Hello everyone,
I've posted in this forum before, but it's been a LONG time. My wife and I childfree and love every minute of it! When we're out and experience the "joys" of others' children, we always respond the same way, "Thank you, Dr. Rice." As you might guess, Dr. Rice took care of getting me fixed!
My dog won't get knocked up, won't ask for money, doesn't want a driver's license, and definitely won't be going to college. Life is good!
While I was catching up on posts from the past several months, a co-worker brought her new baby to the office. She'd tried to have a baby for a long time but was unable and was blessed with an adoption. I'm truly happy for them, and I love kids--as long as they're not mine and can go home when I'm tired of them!
Welcome back...
DH and I also thank the Vasectomy Doc that helped us out.
As you stated, we are happy for people we know when they get pregnant or adopt but we also always end our talks about it with "Better them than us".
I am getting really sick of people saying, "Oh, you'll change your mind." Ummm, no I won't. I'm almost 36, we have been together for 10 years and DH is fixed, why would you think I will change my mind??? is what I answer them. I just don't understand why it's anyone else's business at all...It's not.
I do love my nieces and we spoil them rotten but I have known since an early age that I did not want kids. When all my friends were playing with dolls, I played "Run my own business" and NOW I DO!!!
Isn't it weird how that works.
I have always wanted to flip the tables and when someone who has asked me this awful question before, when they say "We are trying to have a baby" and I would love to then say to them "I would wait if I were you...You are bound to change your mind"
That way, they could see how disrespectful and rude their question is when they ask us.
I love WDW and plan on a
DCL cruise so I don't hate kids, but I do hate out of control kids. Thankfully we only saw one on our last trip in December (12 days in Orlando parks each day) I think that was awesome.
The one we saw was truly out of control and screamed at the top of her lungs for 45 minutes while her Dad laughed at her while he ate a meal sitting 4 tables away from us at AK...He looked at us and said "She's always like this, she won't stop". What did we 5 adults do? Had our meal and talked and tried not to let it affect us. We decided it was a Story we could tell later and it just made all other children's actions that week seem small in comparison. It did not ruin our meal it added to it. (Now if I would have been at Boma's instead of Flame Tree, maybe I would have felt different.
People who have kids don't think that we get discriminated against, or talked down to because we don't have kids...but we do. It's nothing we can't handle, but it's annoying.
I just say to each his own and what is good for you might not be good for me...
Welcome back to this thread. We need new blood around...
I wish I was cooler so I could keep up with the current music scene but I am not cool...Are you cool?
God, how I wish I was...
I settled for a new coffeemaker and a game for my Wii. Some of friends came by to visit him after they got off work so he's had a really full day but a good one as well. 
Work has been busy and I've just been too tired to play.
I don't think I've ever heard yours. Mine is floating around here somewhere.
Barthy Glad to see someone from my neck of the woods.
