However, I feel much prouder posting photos of the child I brought into this world than my old, embarrassing debaucherous photos of my past. My life as a mother and my daughter have a little bit more purpose than a lot of the other things I see getting posted. And its true, it shouldn't bother you the way it does. Anyone who complains about seeing childrenor ultrasounds? Well thats actually kind of weird. Its a part of life.

There are those amongst our acquaintances who don't quite seem to grasp the fact that there are some of us to whom the idea of breeding is faintly ludicrous. It's good to have someone put it into words so well. Nice one.<br /><br />As a bloke, you should see the slack-jawed, uncomprehending looks when I try and explain to people I've just met for the first time that I have absolutely no interest in sport; only a period of cruel and unrelenting suffering at school has given me even the most basic notion of the different names they give to over-muscled shouty people running around in stupid outfits chasing a doomed spheroid.<br /><br />I'm not sure about the Norwegian pop though -- some things can be taken too far.

As for the can-only-split-with-half-your-shit thing, yep that came back to me after I dated a narcissist with a persecution complex. The whole time I was blind to the way she treated me like shit while ranting on about how the everyone and their mother were out to get her. When I finally saw sense it was a simple case of walking away and not answering my phone.

Probably doesn't ...I completely get your rant. Probably doesn't mean you aren't glad your friends are happy, but just that you're sick of them having nothing else to talk about than marriage and babies. I imagine it's what occupying most of their lives, and a passing remark sure, but it's so annoying when people after they settle down turn into a completely different version of themselves. They seem to be incapable of talking about other things than their kids. They should reserve those conversations for people who are interested in the subject. And not shove it in faces of people who could care less. I'm not of your anti marriage and children sentiment, some day maybe I'll take that path, but still, I get where you're coming from. Most of my friends are married now and I seriously miss the silly conversations and the laughs we used to have, now they're all annoyingly 'mature'. We're mid twenties for feck sake. Even the bachelorette parties were dull, not a penis-shaped straw or even alcohol in sight! She wanted it to be 'civil'. Sigh!

I happen to agree with the blog. I am anti-kid to the point of sometimes being NASTY to people who insist upon going on about theirs all the time. My choice is NOT to have children. For any number of reasons which I do not intend to enumerate here. I also get the opposite from people who are parents, that I and my (sad and pitiful, is their undertone) life will never be of the slightest bit of interest to them because I haven't had that biological reaction. Their choice. Some of us agree to disagree because we have other things in common. Others go off all huffy or come over pityingly wondering when I'm going to 'see the light'. When I was involved in penpalling I would sometimes see entries in address lists reading 'moms only' and I would steer so clear you could see the burning tire rubber. No point in even trying, sometimes.RainbowChazer's Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636845414096680371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-73817203970903092582013-05-18T08:42:36.922-07:002013-05-18T08:42:36.922-07:00I guess I'm with the other Anonymous...I'm...I guess I'm with the other Anonymous...I'm all for not wanting to have kids or get married (it's not really that big of a deal to not want those things in this day and age) but it is a pretty big turn off to be as incredibly hateful and vitriolic about the happiness of your friends as you are. Seriously, what kind of of a friend does that make YOU?<br /><br />A friend might be bored listening to you talk about Tudor England but they humor you and pretend to be interested and I highly doubt they get as angry as you seem to be about it when it's all over.<br /><br />When I first started reading this I was a little bothered and was totally one of those people thinking "Oh, you'd change your mind if you had someone you cared that much about and cared that much about you or if you had to care for a life (I've known a few people who felt the exact same way you did but then got pregnant and totally turned around after they had a kid, but I think that's probably the exception, no the rule)" but I realized that ya know, marriage and kids totally aren't for everyone and that's okay but I was still bothered and realized it was because of your God awful attitude. <br /><br />In all fairness I don't know if this is one of those rants where you say horrible things that you don't really feel all the time but just need to vent and get it off your chest but you're otherwise reasonable about the whole thing or if this is how you feel all the time. I can sympathize with the former because I do that all the time, not so much with the latter because it just doesn't seem healthy to get THAT worked up over something so incredibly stupid, and something that has little, to no, long term effects on your life (hell, it barely has any short term affects if you knew how to cope with it better).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-44236521941366527192013-05-17T22:50:31.004-07:002013-05-17T22:50:31.004-07:00It gets better.

But when I was in my thirties, it was awful: Why aren't you married? You are not ugly...(if nothing else is needed for getting married, give my condolences to married people). Why don't you have kids? In a few years it will be too late and you will be sorry. (No, I am not.)<br /><br />No problem with people getting married and having children, but could they just stop harassing others for whom this (for different reasons) did not happen.Paulinahttp://www.trippmadam.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-15171585070307749812013-05-17T14:49:17.749-07:002013-05-17T14:49:17.749-07:00OH PG , Mah Sistah...

See, I act...Yeah, you're angry about something. See, I actually feel the same way you do about kids and marriage, but I am still happy for my friends that go that route bc it makes THEM happy. I am for sure not saying you secretly want those things, and are jealous, but you are certainly unhappy about something in your life, and you're choosing these things to lash out at. Not being able to be happy for the people in your life that are happy with their choices, whether you agree with them or not, says something about you. And the thing it says is not flattering. I suggest an attitude adjustment before you lose what few friends you have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-63002730273388550572013-05-17T09:20:00.077-07:002013-05-17T09:20:00.077-07:00I don't even know how I came across this blog,...

I have a rash of pregnancies/new mums at my workplace too, and it is getting on my last remaining nerve. I'm not so anti the wedding talk, because I dd the same thing 5 years ago and bored everyone with my plans. But babies? That would start World War Three with my parents and my husband if I ever managed to get preggo.
