“Married couples who have no kids are placing demands on a society that are making things difficult to raise a family. It’s selfish bullying.”

Bullying? That’s ridiculous. Let’s talk about “selfish.”

Let me get this straight, dude. YOU decided to have kids … why? For your own reasons—company in your old age and being “showered” with love and attention by your kids and grandchildren.

News flash: Not all elderly (included the childed) are so well looked-after, and there is no guarantee that your progeny will go on to have kids, or even live near you, for that matter. They might even end up hating your entitled, self-important guts.

Having kids to provide in some way for your old age isn’t selfish at all, right?

You seem to resent those who have decided against having children, and somehow think you are morally superior, but have to “sacrifice” so much.

Well guess what; having kids was your CHOICE. Life itself is expensive, let alone vacations. Perhaps some of us decided against going the kid route for economic reasons.

Maybe we would rather contribute to society through donations, volunteering and the like. Perhaps we’re involved with other people’s kids in some constructive way, or we are loving caretakers of animals.

How about all the state and property taxes we pony up? We don’t have kids, but we are helping put your kids through school and supporting many programs. We don’t get the tax breaks you do.

Or how about this—maybe we just don’t want to be parents, just as some people might not choose to pursue elephant breeding or flip houses. It’s a CHOICE.

And I’m very sorry your getaways are a huge production and financial drain. You CHOSE it. We did not.

Bitter much? Good. Marinate in it, but keep the spew to yourself. Seems to me that YOU are the “problem.”
