Re: I'm sorry

While I have children I wanted to show support. I, for one, believe that a husband and a wife are a family.And only a family can decide what is best for them. I have so much respect for people who don't feel forced into having a child if that is not want they truly want.
Honestly, I think having children that you do not want is a disservice to everyone.So I am glad that you have a board to discuss your own issues and challenges.
I don't understand why anyone thinks someone is a child hater because they don't want to be a parent.
I know lots of people who don't want to own an animal. It does not make them haters, just makes them happy to know what is best for their lives.

There will always be drama mammas! What you did was great! Don't underestimate the power to make changes! Some people just don't get it!

Lisa,

This board is an EXCELLENT idea. I was so happy and comforted knowing it started.
Just because there is some drama today (this week, or month) doesn't make it any less important then the other boards.
People who are not having children for one reason or another, now or ever have their reasons.. For them those reasons are VALID and IMPORTANT. Just as important as people with children who have their reasons for doing so.

This board is nothing to feel sorry about. Being non-parents are part of who WE are, just as being parents are a part of who THEY are.
We should all be an LIF FAMILY no matter the children status in your life. We are an online community for support. NOT to tear each other down for our personal decsions.
