dancing james-
My contention is with the people who wish to complain about the impact their choice to have children makes on their lives.
Even this is bullshit. A lot of the impact you're hearing about is 99 times out of 100 caused by things outside of their control or things that in other countries even are much fairer/less of an impact. Cost of living, childcare provision, work/life balance, having to move away from family for work/cost reasons so losing out on additional support that would normally alleviate stresses and not break people down to the point where they do complain. Having kids is a right, and it's hard. Some people deal with it better than others. Some people have it harder than others. Chosing not to have children is also a right, and one that conversely comes without the same stresses so those aspects of life that non-breeders* hear breeders complaining about are often misunderstood (unless the non-breeders have a shred of empathy).
I wouldn't say my life is any harder than yours, in some ways it is and in some ways it is probably easier. If I were to complain or vent about some aspect of parenting that is difficult, it's not up to you to judge whether or not I have a right to do so. And that you feel compelled to speak/type it out loud says a lot more about you as a person than any parent who does have a moan.

FFS DJ, I know you're a self diagnosed cunt but that is so far wide of the mark it's not even funny.
I typed then removed a diatribe about this because I think with the above statement you've retreated so far up your own arse you wouldn't be able to comprehend it.
