YES!! it drives me crazy too. and also because i do want kids one day but i went through a divorce and everything obviously got pushed off.

i made a comment right back usually. and lots of times i do have people comment for me! my friend waited a long time to have kids and will always say in that situation, 'you know people who don't have kids have lives too!' love her.

hahaha...i love this quote! Sometimes I get the "oh you're lucky you don't have kids" comment...and i just want to say...well no one put a gun to your head...it was your choice..don't be mad at me for your choices.

Re: Question...

If anyone ever told me that I'm not busy because I don't have kids, I would burst out laughing right in front of them and so would anyone who knows me.

I'm busier than every, single person I know who has kids. Being busy has NOTHING to do with having or not having kids.

Re: Question...

I think DH and I are busier than most of our friends who have kids. They pretty much just stay home to watch the kids. We actually plan stuff, go out and go away for the weekend. Plus we are doing a lot of work in the house ourselves. And we have 2 fur babies. Chat Icon
