God damn it, it’s Mother’s Day again, and all day at work they were handing out balloons and such to the women at work who had kids. Of course, I was left out of such things for two reasons: 1.) I’m male and 2.) I don’t have any fucking kids!
Jesus Christ, people! Why are you honoring someone who’s only that which is a biological imperative??? Why not honor the folks who consciously choose not to have children for whatever reason? I mean, after all, they’re the ones putting the work into the effort, as assuming there’s no biological impediment for the couple to have kids, then eventually, if they have sex enough times, they’re going to concieve, whereas the folks who don’t have kids, but do have sex, have to actively take steps to prevent conception.
Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Grandparent’s Day are all slaps in the face to folks like myself who don’t have kids! We should end this discrimination right now!
(Please note, my tongue is firmly in my cheek and I did call my mother today and wish her well. Both of them.)
Look, bub, when you take into account Christmas and all those presents I have to buy for my kids, I think you’ll find that it’s the people with kids who are being discriminated against.
I was sitting here thinking about how it can only take one dickhead to change people’s perceptions, and how the childfree have come so far in gaining acceptance and here’s an idiot who is going to spoil it.
FTR, I will never be a mother, yet I’m happy to have a day set aside to thank my own mother for certain things.
I think I should adjust my trigger finger, because you definitely had me going then.
If the childfree knew that by spawning they could be the recipients of the fine, fine Mother’s Day dim sum brunch that I was treated to today, why, by George, they’d be popping those kids out left and right! Mmm, special fungor! Oh, delightful shu mai! Those months of sleepless nights were totally worth it!
(I’m kidding! No, I am! Quit throwing those rocks! Hey, ow!)

There is a Non-Parents Day, although for the life of me I can’t remember the date. Seems like it was sometime in June or July, but I apparently didn’t write it in my planner last year.
See! This is exactly the kind of thing I’m talking about! If MsRobyn had insulted me on the color of my skin, Dopers would be rising to my defense, but nooooo, since I ain’t reproduced, no one stands up for me!
Proof that people who reproduce aren’t necessarily in their right mind!
