Well, you're part of the over population problem, so be a martyr and go kill yourself in a public square so you can set a good example for the rest of us to follow.
I am a parent and I can promise you right now that I do not at all feel jealous of couples without kids. Sure, sometimes I miss my freedom and some days I could strangle my kids because they rile me up, but I'm still glad I had them.
Something actually happened on Sunday, we were at a park, having a picnic and having fun and I was watching a young couple also having a picnic. They didn't have kids and were sitting around looking utterly bored, whereas we were watching our kids and having a good laugh at their antics and just enjoying watching them explore in the river and so on. I actually felt sorry for the couple without kids in a way because their lives seemed so empty, and I was really grateful for the fact that we were able to sit there as a family and just enjoy each others company. Sure, there are times when parenthood has it's downside, but all in all, it most definately is rewarding. Incidentally, if my kids misbehave, I deal with them, I do not leave them to continue being a nuisance because I myself hate it when other kids make a noise and throw tantrums. Not all parents are as you say. But then again maybe it's because where I live we still believe in giving the kids a darn good spanking if they are naughty, so they tend to be better behaved for the most part. I have noticed that since corporal punishment has been abolished in our schools the kids are getting more difficult to deal with.
Anyway, I agree that if someone doesn't want to have kids because they don't enjoy them, that's fine and it's their right, but for goodness sake, don't go about hating and projecting your own hideous hatred on others. We as parents don't share the feelings you think we have and we as mothers don't hate the fact that our breasts have hit our knees either. In fact, I know quite a few sexy moms with perfect figures and the dads are very fit and healthy too. Whether you're a parent or not, you can become sedentary and fat. So don't stereotype because you just make yourself look stupid.
@ReaperAJ Oh God that is just so typical of people with babies and the exact smug slef important attitude Im talking about. Feeling sorry for people without them. You see the world through a filter. A filter that says anyone without kids is sadly lacking and must be bored just cause they arent being loud and annoying like your family. Please keep your sympathy we dont want it or need it. Its like couples that seem to think that if youre not coupled up that you are somehow only half a person. Get over it.
