Another damned thing

I really, really, really despise the whole "We're childfree so we're better than you. Down with chestbursters. YAY!" mentality evidenced by most of (but by no means all of) that lot.

Alas it seem to be human nature to seek to validate oneself and ones choices by invalidating or putting down anothers.

I just wish people would show a little more awareness to the fact that some folks don't have kids because they can't - which is not my case (to the best of my knowledge) but is an issue that others close to me have had. It can be extremely painful for someone who wants kids to be asked if they have kids & if not why not. The attitude that if you're married (or were ever married) and don't have kids you're somehow derelict in your duty to the world just annoys the hell out of me. I thought long and hard before making that decision and I put the well being of the potential child first and foremost. I gladly would bequeath those children I might have had but chose not to to others who would like to have them but haven't been able to.

Of course some people consider me a murderous hussy for taking Birth Control pills...
