Page 9 | Parents hate the Childfree

Youstolemygoddamnhouse · 2025-05-18T07:18:22+00:00

Over the past few days there have been several post regarding children for example *Our new Neighbours and my loud children and To think it's unacceptable to say you don't like children. *in both posts there are hateful comments about Childfree people. The second post in particular never mentioned anything about childfree people but then people started making comments about them. Plenty of parents hate other children despite having them. Why do parents care so much about Childfree people and their choices? Are you jealous? Need validation? Why all the hate? Most importantly will you own up to it? YABU - I don’t hate the childfree YANBU - yes I hate the childfree

So we have now gone from "i cant see anything on that thread" to "thats what teadi was referring to"

Show quote history

What on earth are you on about

Because i see this quite as meaning something very different to you re no child free person should be eligible for social housing, why on earth would I think it supported your argument?

Honestly, you’re difficult to discuss this with because well…

Is this an example of that empathy that pours out of all parents? Seems like a personal attack to me, but what do I know.

Show quote history

How do you know I’m a parent?

and again with the hyperbole…. Who has said that empathy pours out of all parents?

“Friends”? “Relatives”?

bloody hell

distance yourself
get new friends

Show quote history

Happens to all who are childfree. The comments are made pretty often until you reach menopause age and then it calms down.

I have actually provided some quotes at the top of this page.

(sorry I wasn't referring to you, I was referring to the other poster who came up with absolutely nothing, and insists her lack of anything is a tactic. You may well have something, I'm not tarring you with the same brush... Yet )

This one? Is this on the poo thread?

Yes it is. Two different quotes.

HopscotchBanana · 18/05/2025 17:39

Lol.

You provided a thread with nothing in it.

And when you're called out for a thread with nothing in it, claim people can't see the imaginary posts as a tactic.

Yes, it quite proves something.

@ttcat37 here’s a couple.

It's nothing to do with having to rely on your children. It's having a family of your own. Grandchildren great grandchildren all the rest of it that makes older peoples lives so much better You will be lonely. You can't say you won't regret it because you arnt there yet. That is when your decision will come home to roost.

I don't really see the point in creating a thread on mumsnet about the good things of not being a mum ? That's your choice and good luck to you. Each to their own. It may be great now. When you are an old lady trust me it really won't be. That's when you will have regrets.

I'm on page 3. To date there is nothing other than much bickering of:

"I'm glad I don't have to deal with poo."

"You would haven't a child, just so you don't have to change nappies?"

"No, that's one of the reasons"

"Oh, it's such a small part of childhood to make a lifelong decision on"

Then poo is trauma. And puke is triggering. And therapy. And ohhhh you hate me. Does it progress from this, because there's nothing of merit from either perspective after 75 comments.

Read the whole thread, as taking out ad quoting random posts won’t give context.

Look out for the parent saying, in response to a poster saying they felt not having to change nappies is a benefit of not having children, that they ought to get therapy and have a child.

I wil take a punt you are single, don’t have friends or maybe do but always drama and issues and not close, and perhaps
don’t work or - if you do, have a very rocky relationship with colleagues and manager

because there is something very…. Odd here

Proof beyond all doubt that you didnt read the thread, It was posted the same year as my Silver Wedding anniversary Been with DH since 1992. His disabilities are mentioned in the thread because they are pertinent to the subject that thread is about
Oh and its also proof that you and others were getting off on pissing me about and getting off on me copying and pasting posts over. Claiming you have read the thread and there was nothing to see. Well if you had you would damn well know im not single.

I’m not reading 22 pages. You’re trying to prove the point so you do the leg work and provide quotes.

Livelovebehappy · 18/05/2025 17:03

I honestly don’t think people care these days. 30/40 years ago, people without children always sparked interest in others as to why they wouldn’t have children. And I think a lot of people, if they were young now, would not have had children. It really didn’t seem to be an option because it was just expected that you’d have children. I love my adult children to bits, but sometimes wonder if I would have had them if I was 30 years younger in this generation. It’s easier to choose to be child free now - not nearly as much judgement or pressure as there used to be.

Tagyoureit · 18/05/2025 16:53

Parent of 2 bickering gits here.

I don't hate child free people nor do I pity those who have chosen to be child free either. Envy them sometimes, though if I'm honest but then it's different strokes for different folks, isn't it?

Friends of our desperately wanted kids but couldn't have them so go off travelling here, there and everywhere at the very simple drop of a hat. I love my kids but I do envy the freedom they have. They love their freedom but envy the ability to have kids but do really adore all the kids in their lives, their nieces, nephews and friends kids are all wonderfully welcomed, it's really lovely.

I don’t hate the child free but i absolutely think they are oblivious to the challenges of parenthood. Everyone’s the perfect parent until they have a child. As was I !

Oblivious, or completely uninterested and happy to have swerved the entirely optional "challenges of parenthood"?
