Do you feel bad for those who have children and then complain that they don't have enough free time?

Or that they have to work harder then everyone else because they have an added responsibility?

I may be wrong here, but if you choose to have children then you have chosen all the responsibility that comes with it.

    I agree with you. If you aren't ready to sacrifice every single minute of your time for your child's well-being, then don't have kids. And if you make the decision to have children, don't whine and cry when your child-free friends are out having a good time and you have to miss out because you can't find a sitter.

    Nope. But only because they will say that in a moment of frustration. The rest of the time they will tell you their kids are the best thing that ever happened to them.

    Yeah, I do.... I feel bad for anyone who's stressed, no matter the reason. You can get stressed but still love and care for your child.

    no i feel happy for them and we parents don't really mind the 6-7 day work weeks or the mass of dishes/clothes that teenagers seem not to notice on a daily basis it is the childless couples I feel sorry for out there right now never being able to know the feeling of watching thier little acorn grow into a full fledged nut. childless couples never knowing the joy of their 9 year old daughter in ballet class weighing 110 lbs. childless couples out there right now drunk on a beach... you know what **** you all

    Wow...you went from feeling sorry for childless couple to "**** you all" pretty quick. Do you think all couples, or all people, should aspire to be parents? What about those who KNOW they would not make good parents, isn't it better that they choose not to procreate? Also, what about the couples who physically cannot have children for one reason or another, how do you feel about them?

    my sister can't have children it is not a choice you know that and i did not bring that up , but wow... you really have a hard time expressing your real feelings don't you. you see if you read it slower trying to process the words i wrote you would see that it is a joke but i guess i will brake code and explain it to you: see acorn is a term for a son he grows into a crazy person,ha ha, and 110 lbs is pretty big for a 9 year old girl especially in a tutu, lol. you see then i turn it to show that childless couples have time to lay on beaches and get drunk and the( ...) is me thinking about how I would like to lay on a beach and get drunk so the last line is a punchline. you see i did choose to have children and questioned my sanity, so i don't drink because I have children to take care of does any of this sink into to your thick skull! ya know, ha-ha, that is a pretty funny bit, pal. i guess not; but than again you obviously have an ulterior motive for this anger you display towards me oh yeah i remember i said (on another post) that people who choose to not have children suck and should not be allowed to participate in the democratic process. I think I am right, and i will stick to what i stated earlier and say that those worthless people who can only be negative saying that the world is too awful to bring a child into. this choice you speak of refusing to have to be an adult and raise children that makes me think that you should not make decisions for the future of other peoples children and i question the perspective someone who refuses to have children on account of being afraid of loving something other then themselves would engage in so i think they should not have say in what happens in the world cause cowardice has a price and you should have not held a grudge for something we discussed on here three days ago learn to let go hey wait i think I see you are sad and you need a daddy

    Sure. It is indeed a choice they've made, but my friends who do this from time to time because they're tired and cranky are also grateful for their families when they aren't tired and cranky. Most of us do this from time to time about whatever kind of life we've chosen to or just ended up leading.

    Nope. 1/2 of their remaining life was cut in half the moment they accepted the decision for offspring.
