Parents hate the Childfree

[Youstolemygoddamnhouse]

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

No

why should someone single AND childfree AND able bodied ie not in receipt of any disability benefits

You're cherry picking solely "kids" out of single able bodied person without kids.

As you well know.

She's saying why should someone who could work to provide a roof over their head, just be handed a house. Which is a very simplistic view, granted. But it's about work ethic. Not being child free. The only relevance of "child" here is that they need housing and can't do that themselves.

The poster called teadi did. But instead of just clicking on the link you are getting off on wasting my time instead.

If this is what becoming a parent turns you into im glad i skipped it.

"I didn't even think single child free able bodied folk would qualify these days"
Exhibit A
Why should they?

That's what teadi was referring too.

*Single
and
child free
and
able bodied ie not in receipt of any disability benefit

so not telling someone childfree they shouldn’t get social housing because they are child free*

So child free people have no work ethic

I hate childless people who have 101 opinions on how I raise my children or how my friends raise their children. They are the worst, usually they are only acquaintances because they never get to the friends stage with me (probably because they are dicks)

I love my childless friends who are nice and who like my children though, they are great.

I really like to watch previously 'childfree by choice' people struggling with their children. But that's probably because I'm a dick 😅

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

I completely understand child-free people. I understand why some people have chosen not to have kids and I understand that far too many lovely people want kids are unable to have them. I also recognise that some single people want/wanted kids but never met the right person. Heck, I was one of those people until two forms of contraception failed (yes, two!) and I fell pregnant. I was fully resigned to being on my own.

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

No… I’m still no clearer sorry. Could you please try again? With punctuation?

Yes, the fact that it's NOT about being child free

Able bodied but choosing not to work people.

Nothing to do with kids.

Oh for gods sake, of course parents don't hate the child free.

For all we know the goady OP made the other post too.

Is this thread going to be another where you claim all the "evidence" of hatred towards child free people.

In the same way you choose to misinterpret someone saying an able bodied single person who chooses not to work has no work ethic, as child free people don't deserve council houses.

Slightly confused what's happening here😂

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

Good luck!

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.

Here is another one.

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.

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 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.

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

That waaan absolute belter😂

For those not wanting to read, just search (find in page) term therapy and it will take you into the right part if on browser

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.

Ah @KimberleyClark i see they are using the same tactics on you
