Susie O replied to Diana Bett's discussion 'Maybe this sounds awful...' in the group The Childless and Godless

Hang in there Diana! My husband and I are 55 and 59, childless by choice, and SO happy we made and stuck with our decision. I really do love children and have lots of neices and nephews to entertain me. I can give them back when I've had my…

Prog Rock Girl replied to Susie O's discussion 'What's the weirdest argument you've heard about my you should have children?' in the group The Childless and Godless

I got a new one from one of my friends: "What if everyone thought like you? In a hundred years humans would die out." I love this friend, I really do, but...FACEPALM. There is a one in 7 billion chance that all 7 billion of…

Lots of ideologies engage in the breeding-war idea. Occasionally atheists do too. My response is, why would I want my kid in a world that's overrun with religious fundamentalists and stupid people? A breeding war isn't going to make…

Tonya Wynn replied to Susie O's discussion 'What's the weirdest argument you've heard about my you should have children?' in the group The Childless and Godless

I usually hear "Who's gonna take care of when you're old?" Many smalltown women think it's my duty to have kids and that I'm cold and selfish and even antisocial for not wanting them (or barren). Some smalltown men…

With people like you not having babies minorities will over populate us and take over!" Wow, someone actually had the hate-bile to say that upfront without disguising it as the quiverfull movement or something? Scary. Almost makes me want to…

This is the most recent and most repulsive one I've heard.. "You have to have kids so we can out breed the Muslims (or other groups)! With people like you not having babies minorities will over populate us and take over!"

I believe I posted this on the group wall..."They (children) are not gifts...they are a means of identifying oneself..." Susan translated it perfectly: Know thyself! Have a kid...!

Yeah so they can get more money by sending your kids to Catholic school too and paying the church a sh*tload of your money. I went to Catholic school for a little while (tho my parents were episcopalian, long story..) and I can't tell you how…

oh that is soo classic to use the whole "my greatest accomplishment" and their birth was their "the best day ever" and "it's a miracle" and "my proudest moment." Yeah like it's such a miracle that…

"Who's gonna take care of you when you get old?" Isn't that what the church offers to do? Oh wait, I get it now. The church will take care of you so long as you are pumping fresh victims out of your womb.

Gwaithmir replied to Susie O's discussion 'What's the weirdest argument you've heard about my you should have children?' in the group The Childless and Godless

"Who's gonna take care of you when you get old?" Surprisingly, that was the most frequent reason given for having kids when I was in catholic school. Having kids was somehow supposed to do what Social Security was devised for. I…

God provided really well to all six billion of us so far.

Have you heard of the quiver full movement? It is sad and funny at the same time.

I have an auntie like that who doesn't have kids but does so many things for the whole family, always remembers birthdays, loans people money...she's definitely going to have people taking care of her.

Well said Whalehugger. I've never had someone directly tell me I'm not a real woman without children, but it's been strongly implied by too many to count. As for who will take care of me, I joke to my nieces and nephews it will be…

"Acting like a parent"? This is not a matter of wanting to be a parent. It's a matter of expressing your parental/nurturing side in another way, which you like better than actually having a kid.
