Mom's "Apology" To Friends Without Kids

@Cat_Whisperer

Not be such entitled martyrs for doing something people have been doing since the first single-celled organism split?

Yeah! Why do some people make such a big fucking deal about it?

What made the most sense to me in my decision not to have kids is that I’m a woman, and even in this enlightened age, women still do about 80% of the childraising. I could handle about 20% of the childraising, and so can my husband - that brings us up to 40% worth of parents. Not nearly enough, in my opinion.

I realize that raising children properly takes a huge commitment, and it is really hard, and I have no interest in doing this. I consider this to be a non-selfish decision; having kids and not making the necessary sacrifices for them is what is selfish.
