30 Childfree People Who Face Double Standards At Work Open Up About How Unfair It Is

Unless of course your child is a result of rape. NOT ALL UNEXPECTED CHILDREN COME FROM Consensual sexual intercourse. Too many women are raped and the rape results in pregnancy. We just refuse to talk about the reality. of date rape and even rape within marriage.

Except in Texas, where it's no longer your choice

Rape exists.

Having lived in the South all my life (specifically in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC), it may surprise you how many people don't know the biology. During 5th grade sex ed, my teacher told us about an incident where a parent confronted the school, irate because they were teaching her daughter incorrect information...essentially, she thought urine and babies came out of the same hole. Just a few months ago, a coworker told me her boyfriend was an idiot because he had just told her that menstruation blood was like semen, in that there were millions of little eggs that came out within the blood, every month. I had a classmate come to me, (yes, I was a student, but a student who had a reputation as being very intelligent) because his dad was going to have a vasectomy, and he wanted information, but was embarrassed to ask an adult. These are just many of the stories I have collected over the years...

"It takes a village to raise a child" yeah, but quit trying to annex the entire world to be part of your "village", parents. A village is not an entire metropolitan area

As someone who got pregnant because I found out the hard way that when you take antibiotics it affects your birth control guess what no one told me that and I used a condom so it's not uncommon for it to be unexpected no need to be a jerk 👌

Uhh wtf do you not have sex? Or maybe you don't hence your rage. . . Birth control fails and even pro choice individuals who come across the situation of an unexpected pregnancy can unexpectedly find abortion a little grotesque when Finally faced with the decision so it's not so back and white .... Your comment is stupid just say NO and be okay with it without trying to make biology a f'n crime

While I may be in the minority, not EVERY parent willfully chose to do the act. My exgf never took no for an answer. My daughter (whom I love) was only conceived because my girlfriend forced it. This is why we broke up. Eventually I got tired of her not allowing me to not want it.

💯💯 this. I've never forced or imitated someone else take more responsibility at a job simply because I have children. Many people actually do understand why he husband or I need time off. It was never forced though

Not everyone has that choice though. Some instances a woman has been r*ped and is unable to abort the r*pists seed

Single mom of 4 and totally agree with you! I chose this and also choose to opt out of a lot because of this but I'm ok with it. I'd rather be with them 💙🥰

What if a girl is raped huh

All of this!!!!!!

EDIT: Since I can't comment on this after all of you downvoted my post, I'd like to add something here: I only stated a fact, which is that birth rates in developed countries are below the replacement fertility level (2.1), and that this is obviously an issue that affects everyone, not just parents. If you think about it logically, we should have more and not less family friendly policies (in corporations / government). Honestly I thought that this was a pretty obvious fact, but even if you disagree, which is fair, why do you need to insult me? Why do I have a sandpaper personality for stating facts @RandomPanda342? Why exactly should I "bite you" Angels B? Which part of my post do you disagree with, and why? This was my original post: "Based on your name and choice of words, you're likely living in a first world country, all of which are all struggling with low birth rates. If we were to translate your premise into government policy ("having children was your damn choice, deal with it"), and decided to have perfect parity between parents and non-parents, birth rates would drop even further, and your chances of having a half-way decent retirement would drop to zero. I do understand your frustration dealing with entitled parents, but let's not forget the societal implications here. Making it unnecessarily difficult for parents to cope with the hardships of parenthood, would also make it impossible for societies to subsist as a whole. Even hyper-individualists can't possibly deny that."

Exactly. Children are a choice. And they are nobody's responsibility except for the people who chose to have them.

I've got one-year-old twins, and I've never been late because of them - I've been sick much more than usual since they started daycare, but since I live on max. 6 hours of sleep, and there's a pandemic, that's kind of to be expected... Lateness usually comes from lack of planning or lack of consideration, rarely from circumstances.

My rheumatologist told me, after my multiple chronic illness diagnoses, that my body is functioning on the amount of energy that a healthy person has after being awake and active for 72 hours straight. My case is an extreme example, but there are soooo many reasons that someone might be exhausted.

The most tired I have ever been was the last 17 months of my 95 year old father’s life.

THANK YOU

I'm a teen always tired don't do much and wish I could sleep forever

My brother makes me insane with comments like this. I get told that I don't know what being tired is because I don't have kids. He chose to have 2 children but that doesn't mean the whole world needs to cut him a break. He feels entitled to special treatment because he's a parent. Sorry man, it doesn't work that way.
