My weekend seemed very focused on the whole CF decision

We spent Sat morning wandering around the convention center with a work friend of DH's and his wife. They're probably mid- to late thirties, also without kids. She and I ended up discussing it a little bit, pretty much in agreement on the whole liking our lives the way they are.
Next, we went to a birthday party for some friends. The SIL of the guest of honor had brought her daughter, probably three or four years old. I'd picked up that something didn't seem quite right about the little girl and then one of the other friends asked the SIL if she had decided on a speech therapist yet. Ah - so that was why I felt like something seemed off; she wasn't anywhere near as verbal as I've seen other kids that age. Also, seemed like a nice enough kid, but definitely a bundle of energy - running here and there and nearing pulling a tablecloth off a table loaded with food and drinks. I could tell the parents were doing the best they could, it's just a difficult age to handle.
Left that party and went to another one that our neighbors were having. We got there kind of late, so we ended up being the last to leave and talking to the hosts, who are friends of ours - not close close friends, but definitely beyond the acquaintance stage. They asked us about our kid plans, and we responded with our usual answer. During that conversation, the wife goes on to tell us about how they had a weekend to themselves the other day and ended up really missing their kids and discussing how empty people's lives are when they don't have children

I was a little taken aback and hurt by that comment - I really didn't expect her to say something like that. If it hadn't been late by the time we got home, I probably would have logged in to get sympathy from all of you

DH didn't think she meant it quite the way I took it. I don't remember exactly the way she said it, so my quote above is definitely paraphrasing. I'm feeling okay about it now after having more time to mull it over and think of two things: A) She said that after having a lot of wine to drink. I could easily believe she woke up the next morning and regretted having let that come out of her mouth. And B) this couple has been very open about their lack of religious belief. I know a lot of people who would find *their* lives empty because of that lack of religion, so I think it's just more of an example to me about why you shouldn't judge someone else's life from the outside.
Oh, and then Sunday we went with our friends to the Magic Kingdom to get their kids' haircuts for the first time (really neat little ceremony at the MK barber shop, btw, if you do ever go with friends who have young children). Uh, let's just say that one of their kids turned out to not be a big haircut fan

We spent a little more time at the MK, but it was really too warm and crowded for the kids to last long, so we went back to our place after that for a while. I was exhausted by the time they left - they clearly have developed much better levels of stamina than I have!

All in all, I have to say DH and I have no regrets about our current lifestyle after this weekend, even if others don't agree.
