Oh wow! You mean that you had somebody with the balls to actually get right into your face and confront you about not having kids? I would have said: "NONE OF YER FUCKING BUSINESS BITCH." but that's me. I hate when somebody tries to confront me about my own personal choices in life.
btw I noticed you give a bunch of great reasons here why you don't want kids. I wish you much success with your business. But, IMHO, you don't need to explain the reasons why you don't want kids... to anybody. Because "I just don't want kids" is a perfectly respectable reason not to have them. No need to go further. I do hate that we childfree folks always feel that we have to explain why we don't want them.
Totally did! And thing is, she's a friend of my dad's and knows people he works with so it wasn't like I could just tell her off. :/ (Whereas I've totally given a piece of my mind to strangers who get in my face about it!)
I totes know that 'I just don't want to be a parent/I just don't want kids' is reason enough, but I guess I should've elaborated on the context which was discussion of the economy and how bad my generation has it in terms of upward mobility, how so many are putting off or completely forgoing kids. Heh I just felt I posted enough of a book :)
But yes, it is annoying we have to explain in the first place. Do people ever have to justify why they DO want kids? Ugh.
OMG, yes. Back in college I was once at a Christmas party at the house of a couple of the profs, for students in the department they headed. I don't recall how the topic came up, but I was dumb enough to make the statement that I wanted to be sterilized some day

The sancti-mommy was an obnoxious work friend of my father's. If it was a total stranger I wouldn't have hesitated to tell her off but given the situation...yep

Philosophically, everything is temporary. Even the planet will eventually burn to a crisp.
