Oh, totally agree! And I actually find people who say they “hate” kids very strange – I may not want one myself, but they’re just small people and they’re not all the same, so saying you “hate” them is like saying you hate all 42 year olds or something.

Truth be told, though I know you don’t want kids, you’re not the kind of person that baffles me. To get irritated with anyone questioning you on ANYthing that’s not their business is both normal and likely! I guess it’s the likes of Twitter’s @childfreeonline who claim not to hate kids but link to lots of snarky stuff about them. There’s no need to go hating kids just cos you don’t have your own… (not that I think you do).

Well, I can only speak for myself, as a childfree person, but for me it matters purely because people quite frequently question my decision, or feel the need to make offensive character judgements based on the fact that I don’t want children. If people with children would stop doing that, I wouldn’t ever mention it: not wanting children isn’t something I think about very often or particularly want to pontificate about, because I honestly don’t care how other people choose to live their lives. But sometimes the endless judging gets too much and I will have a bit of a rant

On a lighter note, I’ve always wondered what Disney Paris would be like compared to the Mother Ship. I’ve always assumed the colder weather would make it feel a bit surreal!
