    Controversial CHILD-FREE discussion

    A few of you know me, but for those who don't - I'm a militant activist for the child-free lifestyle.

    Anyway, my Boyfriend and I were at the mall this past Sunday and I saw what must've been the most repulsive thing I've seen in quite a while.

    We were walking past an Auntie Ann's pretzel stand and decided to get some soft pretzels, so we got into line behind some woman with 2 kids. Well, I'm pretty intolerant of badly-behaved children in public, and I don't care much for kids, but one of them was fairly well behaved so I ignored him. The other one, however, was a different story. She was running around willy nilly like a monkey on crack, screaming at the top of her lungs: "MommIEEEE!!! MOMMMIEEEEEEEEEE!!!" at such a pitch that both BF and I winced and stepped back. Then she proceeded to run up to the display panel where they have pictures of the different sorts of pretzels they sell, and rammed her face up to it and started draging her lips and tongue all over it! All the while the mother was doing NOTHING to reprimand the child... And let's not even get into the unsanitary aspect of this - how many people touch that display panel per day... and god knows what they have on their hands.

    I was almost sick right then and there... And I just gave my BF "that look". He rolled his eyes at me in agreement.

    I agree that the mother should've done something.

    Just out of curiosity-What's wrong with having children?

    ~Rachel
    If you're listening to this song
    You may think the chords are going wrong
    But they're not
    We just wrote it like that

    When you're listening late at night
    You may think the band are not quite right
    But they are, they just play it like that

    It doesn't really matter what chords I play
    What words I say or time of day it is
    As it's only a Northern song

    It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
    Or how I fare or if my hair is brown
    When it's only a Northern song

    If you think the harmony
    Is a little dark and out of key
    You're correct, there's nobody there

    And I told you there's no one there

    Nothing - it's just not for me. I don't want to add to the overpopulation problem, and I don't have the patience or the desire. What's wrong with not having them?

    That is disgusting. I'm with you on the child-free lifestyle, and I'm also very intolerant of brats like that in public. We had someone let one of their kids KISS A FISH TANK at work REPEAEDLY. I mean, it doesn't get much nastier than that... (Now where's that puking smiley)

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    I agree - although over poplulation isn't one of my reasons. I just don't care for kids. No patience on my part and I'm way too selfish to give up my freedom. Everyone else can have them and I can enjoy them for a bit and then go home to peace and quiet!

If you think you're anti child-whew I am really staunch anti child-I was a volunteer at planned parenthood-I was dismissed because I advocated Norplant(the under the skin implant that prevents pregnancy for 5 years) for all of the girls under the age of 18 who visited the clinic!I was actually called a genocide follower!!I'm also really tired of the right to life people doing protest marches in front of the clinics-do these people pay for the unwanted child? NO, just see how devoted to the cause they would be if they had to support the child. I've learned my lesson about telling a mother to control her child-I did it in a very nice way-the woman slapped me!
    HAHA I had a Laproscopic Tubal Ligation done back in May just because I know I NEVER WANT KIDS. You too should come to the NK board! The more the merrier! We CF'ers have got to stick together!!!

    PLANNED PARENTHOOD dismissed you because you were advocating birth control?!?!?!?! WHOA!!!!

    I'll PM you the link too!

    ITA!!! I'm another one that just DOES NOT LIKE them, at ALL. I get a lot of flack from people because of this, but you know what? I don't care. That's their problem!

    At work, if I have to warn kids about something, the second time I tell them they will have to leave if I tell them again, the third offense I kick them out. No exceptions. I've been yelled at my irate parents, but you know what? If you want to bring your noise machine into a pet store, don't let them bang on the cages/run around/scream/etc.

    Ilovereptiles, thanks for the url! I may become a regular there!

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    I'm sorry but this sentence just made my morning!

    5 Minutes around children like that is a great form of birthcontrol.

    Unfortunately, it's not the child's fault they act like monkey's on crack but the parents... I almost always take the time to Compliment parents of well-behaved children when I have to deal with them.

    There is nothing wrong with not wanting kids. I just was curious.

    I like kids. Sometimes they can be bratty but other times very sweet. I guess a lot of parents choose to ingore their kids behavior bacause they are only doing it to get attention. I was a kid once too!

    I love kids, I think this little gurl was just hyper and the mother was probably tired of dealing with her. I can understand that you were groosed out, but how old was she? younge children can somtimes act hyper for attention. I have takin many human services classes and learned alot about childen. I would have told her that, that is "icky" to put your mouth on the class. And to think about all the germs. But thats just me.
