No wonder you do not have a wand magical or not and listen you are narrow minded

People and interests do change over the years and thats one of the main reasons I lost contact with alot of mine. They had children and they could not understand my desire not to have them and I couldn't care less that Little Johnny slept through the night. So we just drifted apart.
I also think as life gets busier it just gets harder to keep up as well especially if you are the one making the effort.
I'll refrain from going on my usual spiel about how goddamn entitled people tend to act just because they have children.![]()
Entitledness is not limited to people with children

Agreed. It just seems more noticeable to me because I don't have children.
(Actually, I'm not narrow minded; I'm judgmental as fuck, but the nuances are probably lost on her...)
The conflict between the "want/have kids" parties and the "no kids!" parties is a bit absurd some times. A lot of people who don't want kids feel attacked by people with kids for their decision. But when those people go off on how there's no reason to reproduce, kids are a waste of time, etc...etc... of course it pisses off the people with kids (or who want them)!
Personally, as someone who's kind of in both camps, I don't see what the big f'n deal is.
I guess we all have slightly different flavours to our personal definitions of words, but in my own Venn diagram the circle for "judgemental" is entirely contained inside, but is smaller than, the circle for "narrow-minded".
I think that HAVING kids inevitably changes people's lives and the way they see themselves and the world, irreversibly.
Not necessarily.
While having kids did change my life temporarily, I never saw myself as something different. Just added a "Mother" tag to many facets of my personality.
I dont think I ever saw myself and more so the world in any different way than usual.
Since they grew up I dont really see them as "children" anymore, just two girls I love unconditionally and would gladly give my life for if so needed, but not some inevitable part of me or my life that changes something. They dont define me.
I never melt over every baby I see in pram either and I find endless talk about kids very boring. Maybe I am just weird...
I'm home! 5 days early! Completely worth spending the money to book a new flight.
Someone complaining about having cold feet always reminds me why my mother hated my father's brother. He, his wife, and my dad's and his mom were visiting us one winter, and my mother said something about her feet always being cold. Without missing a beat, my uncle responded: "A woman who doesn't have enough heat in her ass to keep her feet warm deserves to freeze to death." This was in the mid-60s, and even mentioning a woman's ass in mixed company was not really acceptable... but then, Uncle George never gave much of a damn about social conventions.Winter finally arrived. My feet are cold.![]()

ETA: BTW, I don't agree with Uncle George. A woman who doesn't have enough heat in her ass to keep her feet warm ... needs a good spanking (flogging/paddling/caning)!![]()
