I can understand being slightly annoyed when someone talks a lot about something. But, if they are that passionate about it, there is no way I'd tell them to stop. It makes me happy to see other people happy. And I think its great when people talk about their kids all the time. My dad would start talking about me in the grocery store and sometimes it'd end up he was talking to someone I went to high school with I was embarrassed, but as I look back, I know that he loves me THAT much that he likes to talk about me to anyone.

I understand you guys don't like kids and you have your reasons. I just think that not everyone understands that though. I am sure they aren't just talking about their kids to try to annoy you.

I do censor myself around people who I know aren't interested in my pets. But my true friends would not want me to do that. Granted, you probably don't want to be the best of friends with your co-workers, but still.

I just saw a lot of hostility towards kids in this thread and I wanted to say that I DO think a baby is a complete blessing. And any child who is not thought of as one, I really feel for

I'm not trying to tell you guys you should start caring about other peoples' children. But at least try to see things from their view a little more.
