Do most parents put people of the childfree down?

I don't want kids. Now, I've gotten some answers from parents calling me arrogant, ignorant, immature, selfish, can a homosexual, which I'm not. They always tell me ';You'll change your mind'; or ';The world doesn't need more idiots like you'; or ';You're too young and stupid, and you'll go to hell';.





So, do a majority of parents criticize people of the childfree and calls them dispicable names? Have you ever done that or known anyone who has? Why do parents put the childfree down?Do most parents put people of the childfree down?
I don't and I wouldn't. My step-mom is childfree, but took on the responsibility of us two girls when she married my father. She didn't have to be good to us, but she was. I have the utmost respect for someone who chooses to not have children and takes the appropriate (responsible!) steps to keep things that way. I'm so sick of people that had kids and treat them badly. At least you know what you want and are sticking to it.Do most parents put people of the childfree down?
It is certainly not the majority. The ones that do will do it all the time. I get told I will ';burn in hell'; if I don't have children. I get called ';gay';. Sometimes they say, ';I know where you can get a good price on Viagra'; (Sure just because I have no kids I must be impotent).





New people assume I am very young. I love that. A typical conversation goes like this:





New Jerk: ';How many kids do you have?';


Me: ';None';


New Jerk: ';Wait until you get to be my age.';


Me: ';I'm 42, how old are you?';


New Jerk: ';Wow, I'm 31, and I thought you was younger than me';.





Just show them the stamps in your passport, and the amount you have in your 401K. That will silence their rude tone.
I do not put people down that dont want kids and I am a mother of 3 with one on the way and 3 step-kids. I say it is your decision. I think it is better that you know you dont want kids and you are willing to do what it takes not to get someone pregnant than to have a kid and not want it.





Don't worry about what people think of you the only person that has to judge you is the man upstairs.
I can't say I ever have. In fact, those of my friends who are childless, I sometimes envy because they have that freedom that I crave for. Having kids is a choice, and if you choose not to have any, there's nothing wrong with it. There are some parents out there who are a little over zealous when it comes to their kids, but I imagine they think their world is better than others. They should come to my house sometime and see how fun it is to raise a 3 1/2 yr old, a 1 1/2 yr old, and a soon to be newborn..lol.. maybe they'll change their minds..lol
Not all parents do, I for one think it is great when a man or woman can look at themselves and say, i do not want kids, and then take the safety measures to keep that from happening. There are already too many children out there with parents who never really wanted to be parents, the only people that hurts are the kids. Good on you for knowing yourself well enough to make a decision like that and stick to it.
Personally, if someone doesn't want children I think they shouldn't have them. But I wanted children, so I had them. BUT on the other hand... I do wish there were ';child free'; areas, like restaurants and airplanes. There is NOTHING more annoying than going to a restaurant where I will pay more than I would at McDonald's and having screaming children disrupt my meal. If I am at a fast food place, I can see it. Otherwise, please no. If I bring my children, they WILL be controlled weather they are 1 or 15.
The only time I've ever done that is when they ridicule me for having more than one child. I think it's toatally fine not to have kids, although I feel your missing out on something but I know for sure you could say the same thing about me so we're even!
i have one child and another on the way it is great for me and alot of people but it isnt for everyone. closeminded people will always find something to criticize just ignore them how would they know what sort of person you are
It goes both ways. I've seen many childfree people make fun of, call names just as much as you claim that parents put childfree people down.
maybe they secretly wish they didn't have kids and are trying to make you feel guilty for not being miserable like they are. (not that i don't like kids cuz i do!)
Not the mature ones!! I have never put anyone down and I think that they would to be most immature people there are to say such stupid things.....
I have never once met someone like that. Where do you live? (so I know not to move there)





I am pregnant now but I would NEVER say anything like that to someone.
I don't care whether or not someone else wants kids, as long as they treat my kids respectfully.
I have never heard this happen
I said i never wanted kids to, my husand didnt eather, my sister didnt eather, my brother hates kids and well my mom shouldnt have had kids but guess what WE ALL CHANGED OUR MINDS AND HAD KIDS so you may not want kids right now thats your choice but i wouldnt do anything stupid like get fixed becasue its not cheep to reverse and you may regret it and no not ALL parents think that people are stupid when they say they dont want kids, they just dont know what they want yet
