I'll take the "emptiness" of being able to do one thing: RELAX ... in the evenings/weekends for hours on end if I wish, without worrying about the kids being "too quiet" or expecting "Mommmie!!! Johnny took my Hot Wheels!"

Bingo:

My kids are the most important thing in my life! You do NOT know what you are missing out on!

Well lets see there is the getting up way earily in the morning to fight to get them up and ready for school then making breakfast for them and cooking and cleaning and runny may [censored] off before I can go to work and work my [censored] off there and then picking them up from school fight with them to get there homework done while cooking dinner then bathing them and fighting them to go to bed. of course this is all on top of staying up all night with baby and watching changing baby diapers and feeding baby and burping baby. oh and the babysetter but being dependible so I am late for work and have to take off earily to pick up kids because I cant trust the sitter to do it. oh and then the kids come up pregnat or in some other troble and dont move out until I die... What have I missed? Did I leave anything out? Oh yes there is the mommie day card and the funny barf stories and the endless pictures I would have to tell and carry around to PROVE how happy I am and con others to be just like me because I cant stand them to remind me how my life sucks and how much I hate having kids. I did forget that one.

Bingo

you can play with kids or go to the movies for kids or even the park with out people thinking your a prev.

(Personaly I just borrow my friends kids but.. I would Like a better comeback because this one just invites more bingos...)

Um, I don't actually WANT to play with kids or go to movies for kids, thanks - I'm a bit busy with other things. And as far as I know, parks are public property and if kids/ adults make the presumption I'm a perv, well, that's their problem - at least it will give them something to talk about.

(Sorry, this isn't the comeback you are looking for, but it's what I'd say...)

Bingo:
It feels SO wonderful to be pregnant - I was glowing.

If glowing is puking, crying, screaming, bloating, and having a parasite form in my abdomen... I will pass.


Bingo:
But won't it be great to watch them grow up? He/She could be anything!

They could be anything and I'm a risk averse person. There's a 0.00000001% chance that they'd be a Nobel-Peace prize winner and a 5% chance that they'll be a criminal. Those odds aren't good. I wouldn't invest in stocks that had that type of return.

Bingo: But you'll never feel a new life growing inside you.

Hmmm. I felt many things the first time I watched "Alien," but envy wasn't one of them. By the way, how big were Sigourney Weaver's character's stretch marks after that ordeal? There are quite a few things none of us will ever do that many people have done, but I don't see you lamenting over it: walking on the moon; singing the National Anthem at a Yankee game; driving a humvee through roadside-bomb territory; ringing the opening bell on Wall Street...it all depends on your "thing," and kids aren't my "thing," so I really don't care about what I'll miss along the way to get them.

Bingo: The best day of my life was the day I laid eyes on my child for the first time. There's no other feeling like it.


"Men and women think that it is necessary to have children. It is not. It is their animal nature and social custom, rather than reason, which makes them believe that this is a necessity." --Democritus

Really? I think all newborns look like slimy lizards. I'd probably just feel repulsed.

Bingo :

But your sister is having a baby. Don't you think you could do better than her and that deadbeat husband of hers?

Did you reproduce in order to show up a relative? How sad that you feel so competitive with members of your own family.

Bingo:

Your boyfriend is just going along with you for now, but one day he'll leave you for someone else who will have a baby for him.


Simone de Beauvoir dismissed motherhood as, "...'a strange mixture of narcissism, altruism, idle daydreaming, sincerity, bad faith, devotion and cynicism."

Then I will be better off with out him because I was up front about how I dont EVER want kids so if he wants to leave because of the no child law that WE made then there is no one gone stop him! Besides what business is it of yours?


Bingo:

your child would love you no matter what you do that is the best feeling in the whole wide world! yeay!

Well, there is that recent Texas murder case.....young teen girl was told to break up with a slime ball boyfriend so she and the slime ball and a couple of their friends killed the girl's mother and siblings. The father was badly injured but managed to escape. I think we can most likely agree that murder is not an act of love so then it follows that children who kill their parents do not automatically "love them no matter what". So your theory is not logical.

Bingo: But children are the future of the world!
