We have 24 squares to fill. What lines get trotted out on every thread that discusses the child free?

My suggestions:

  1. You'll need my children to be your carers when you're old
  2. Only parents understand real love
  3. Childfree people shouldn't take annual leave in school holidays

@FufferPish Round cats are the best, I don’t make the rules.

Daisy wishes it known she approves of this sentiment.

Yeah, sorry. Can't even to be arsed with reading the latest offerings. IMO there's a deliberate attempt the last couple of days to take this board over and tell us where we're going wrong, for some reason.

Perhaps if you could be arsed with reading, you'd see that's not the case.

But you can't complain about that. So best not read it, and pretend it is, eh.

Not sure about cat overlords. Their powers are significant and need to be confined.

I reckon golden retrievers would make wonderful leaders.

They're ofurlords and they know it. As the late great PTerry said, "In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this."

To be fair I didn't have kids until late 30s and certainly for me, I look back to when I was tired pre-kids and kind of chuckle - sorry if that offends but nothing compares to endless months of nursing in the night and surviving on 2/3 hours sleep. Twice. I aged years in those months.

sorry if that offends but nothing compares to...

I don't know. Chronic insomnia, chronic physical pain, and chronic liver disease. for starters, would give you a run for your money in the tiredness olympics.

What about nursing/caring for a relative? Kids aren’t the only ones who need looking after

Maybe for you nothing compared. But you clearly have zero idea what others experience/d and therefore cannot make such a ridiculous generalisation.

I love platypus.
Like, how did you happen, buddy🤣

No Lemon, you don't understand.

Nothhhhing compares. Nothing. There is literally nothing worse. Only Mothers are tired! And busy.

Coming onto this thread to mumsplain everything we "don't know that we don't know" could be on the bingo card.

You have two children? You can’t complain about being tired. There are women out there with three children and you have no idea what it’s like, please keep your tiredness to yourself.

If any women with three kids would like to complain please go ahead, you have one post to do so until I shut you down with women who have four kids.
