I get that being a parent is challenging - you dont have to be one - TopicsExpress



          

I get that being a parent is challenging - you dont have to be one to see that. BUT if one more mother tells me how lucky I am to not have kids, I may lose it and punch her. PLEASE dont assume that all childless women are kid-free by choice or due to wanting to live a selfish, carefree life. This is deeply personal, and I rarely share like this. Before making such an insensitive comment, please imagine having a constant, aching hole in your heart. Please imagine what your life would actually be like if you were deprived of the joys-and heartaches-of parenthood. Imagine the frustration of watching abusive parents continuing to be afforded the privilege of raising their kids. Most of all, imagine constantly grieving and mourning the babies that you will never have, and feeling constantly inadequate or somehow defective. And if you still think me lucky,imagine losing your children forever. THEN you can tell me how lucky I am to experience that heart-wrenching loss every day.
