AIBU to think that childfree living forum is sick!!!

[dekoLL]

but the language used on this site is just shocking! if you all got such a perfect , selfulfilling life, why are you wasting it by ranting on this forum, even more..wasting time looking through mums forums to show off how negative parent?s life is. This is just pathetic!!!! You show such a strange hatred to mums and whole idea of parenthood, and created new concepts and meanings around this hate. This looks almost like hitlero style site. I cannot comprehend how can you be so spiteful and why to women that choose to have children, although you are yourself children of mothers that are just the same as the ones that you attacking. Moos.....baybee....that is so childish and sick! And i think you all like little never- to ? grow up children, and that?s why having kids scares you so much. This forum could be a perfect source of perfect psychology PhD thesis.....
sick ideology of never milked cows...mooooooooooo!!!!!!!

This forum could be hours of fun if I were bitter and unfulfilled.

"twat nugget" Yeah hysterical.

Sorry sloany, I missed your sentence at the end and thought you meant it was hysterical IYKWIM....

Ahh don't take it too seriously Rockbird, ruffling your feathers is what they want to do. I'm more than happy in my choice to be a mum, their anger doesn't offend me I find it slightly amusing and more than a little sad. Taking it seriously is silly IMO.

If you're all so happy being parents why aren't you with your kids now? Y'know some posters are on here 24/7 almost.....that can't be right can it.

I know, I'm trying not to

Because one of mine is still unconscious and the other one is at work.

DP.....I often wonder if you ever post anything that anybody wants to read.

Oh Posie thanks for saying that, I was just thinking exactly the same thing.

Be a dear and Fuck Off why don't you DP? But before you go can I please ask why you are not staying on the Music Board for three months as you previously said you would?

@ DaftPunk - if you can see that some posters are on here almost 24/7 that must mean you are on here 24/7 to notice that. Haven't you got anything else going on in your own life?

Ds regularly sighs "can you leave me alone now please Mum?" as I advance upon him to "share" in his interests.

The moosnet threads are making me chuckle...

I think that board's hilarious, and most of the posters on this thread demonstrating exactly why the childfree get exasperated with breeder culture. Not everyone likes children, not everyone wants children, and if the childfree want to have a laugh and a rant on a dedicated message board, and the language comes out a bit lively after years of pressure from breeder culture (Why haven't you got DC, Why don't you want any, aren't you selfish, are you too ugly to find a partner, how about counselling, you;re just in denial etc etc) then so what?

I particularly agree with the quoted poster who'd point out that having a non-visible disability meant s/he was just as entitled to a priority seat on the train as a PG woman. Courtesty and consideration to others is one thing but plenty of parents and parents-to-be do use their parenthood or imminent parenthood to attention-seek and inconvenience other people because it's the only interesting thing they've ever done in their lives.

I know no one ever agrees with anything I say, but y'know...there are still times I'd rather be talking to strangers on mumsnet than talking to my kids. my kids bore and irritate the hell out of me sometimes, & occasionally I envy childless women.

I'm not sure if I had my time over again I'd have them, I think there's alot of pressure on women to be mothers.....well maybe these women are fighting that....you could call it feminism...if you were being objective.

Haven't had time to read this whole thread so apologies if this has been said already but...
I wonder if the posters on the forum would use the same terms and phrases about their own mothers? And by definition, themselves as children?

Because unless they were created and gestated in a laboratory, these posters are a part of the whole childbirth process too.

The thing is, these people probably hate everything - but because it isn't acceptable/legal to post racist/homophobic, etc comments - there's not a lot left is there? I'm not condoning it at all - but imagine what would happen to all that hatred and spite if they didn't vent such nonsense somewhere.

Well said sgb.

They are Haters - ignore, ignore, ignore! Leave them to it - they deserve each other.

Have had a look and it seems to sway between being so idiotic that it's hilarious, and being so bitter that I would seriously hope that some of these people are getting counselling. Get a life folks, bitching about other people's choices on the net isn't one!

Plus I wonder how many of them are aware of the contradictoriness of then criticising MN as a forum for people obsessed with their own maternal status (Riven makes a good point, it's all anti-women, fathers seem not to be mentioned) and children, BUT then going on and on about their own non-parental status, to the point of arranging picnics where they all get together to enjoy their non-parent-ness together? Ah, the irony..

The saying goes that the best revenge is living well. I'd add to that, in this case, the best revenge is not giving a shit. So leave them to their playtime and move on, folks. Nothing to see here.

If anyone from CFL is reading - have a nice day, y'all!

Meh.

I couldn't care less.

Different strokes for different folks.

Like daftpunk, if I had to do it over again knowing what I know now I might not have had children.

I have three very close friends who are childfree by choice.

Their lives, their choice.

If I found out one of them were on a site like this, so what?

It's not like it's a terrorism forum or that.

Haven't clicked as I think it is the same site as one that I came across a couple of years back which had someone just really awful on it. It was worse IMO than a bit of lively langauge etc. So I'm not going to click.

hardly sick

I think its quiote funny they have their little forum to rant away!!!

"ugh that noisy brat ruined my meal" LOL

so long at they are not trying to murder anyone, its a free country

and they complain about Daily Mail too!!!!
