My wife bitch aunt is like that “you’ll never know love until you have had a child” oh really? You mean your divorce and raising your child with a step father they hated was “love”? |
i see responses that are without tact on both sides all the time. nowadays people are deciding to have kids less than ever before, so parents shouldn't rub in the whole schtick about people missing out, and likewise people who don't want kids shouldn't be dicks about having extra time/money/freedom by staying dinks.
as for me i won't have kids, i'm not really a kid person who knows how to play with a toddler and make them laugh. that being said i would never be rude to kids or parents with kids, and i actually don't mind hanging out with my friends even if they bring their kid along, it's the only way to stay friends with your friends who became parents. if you value your friendship with your parent friends then you should do the same. what i don't like is going to the kids bdays with 20 kids running around... i will come for the first hour then slip out the door quietly.. lol
