BellaOnline Forums Relationships Married No Kids I could cry with joy!

I have seen people write they feel like an outcast because of the no kid decision. That's a normal response because most people do have kids so that does make us outcasts. It doesn't bother me though. I have never and will never jump on the bandwagon just because everyone else is doing it.

Todays parents raise their kids as irresponsible, unaccountable brats. Kid's behaviors are a 100% reflection on the parents. (Society in general has lost its morals. Look back 50 years ago, 40, 30, 20, 10 and even 5 years ago. See the decline?)

Parents really don't seem to know what they are doing. You would think they would learn as time goes by but they don't. Have you seen the reality shows: supernanny and nanny 911? Those "parents" should be ashamed and embarrassed at what they have produced. I guess they are so desperate for learning how to do their jobs as parents that they force themselves to go on those shows. I give them credit for finally asking for help though. A problem is half of all born (maybe more) are accidents. Ooops. The parents never really wanted them from the beginning, they did not plan for it. They were never prepared and had to just "wing it" and live so... miserably.

Having a kid is not hard to do. Anyone can do it. Think about it: a ten year old girl can have a baby, mentally-challenged people can have babies, drug addicts can. Just because it is physically possible (and way too easy if you ask me) doesn't mean you should. Heck, animals make babies. That doesn't make them any more special than those of us who choose not to. I am not less of a woman for choosing to be childfree (and none of us should feel that way). We are just rational people who actually think things through (ahead of time) and make a decision that is right for us for whatever reasons we may have. We are not robots. We are thinkers.
