I’ve been saying this for a while now that this anger and resentment over childfree people has become increasingly pervasive and dangerous and it really feels like we are going to be one of the first against the wall.
Even among otherwise reasonable people I know there is a shocking amount of resentment towards people who choose to live their lives for something besides children.
It’s because so many of these people hate their children and resent those kids for being alive. I have heard other parents talk about how much they wasted on kids bringing them up, and how much better they imagine their lives had they not had kids.
They want other people saddled with this same burden and drag everyone down to their misery.
It’s natural as a parent to think about life without kids, especially with how miserable it has become. Kids are seldom allowed to be kids. It’s all structured nonsense and constant trash like 20 games of little kid sports, which they don’t want to play. They want to sit inside and play electronics just like adults.
Parents also spend hundreds of dollars on things like music lessons, and the kid gets bored because Minecraft genuinely is more fun for a kid. Then they get angry and hateful at the kid.
Well what good are you if you aren’t making future soldiers? Get out there and sow your wild oats. Or spread your legs. Whatever you have to do, do it for America.
Harris out here telling us we shouldn’t throw up our arms when we should be rolling up our sleeves. Vance just wants to roll up our slipcovers.
I haven’t really seen that honestly, it’s pretty much a non-event. I have a kid, some of my circle don’t plan on it. No one really cares.
I’ve seen childfree people on the internet complaining about people with kids plenty enough, but I always assumed they were a vocal minority.
The only time I’ve ever seen this topic as an actual point of contention in real life is people who insist on no kids at weddings. Which I do think is kind of a dick move, but also people’s preogerative.
I’ve seen kids at weddings. Hell, I’ve been a kid at weddings. It was generally a bad experience for everyone.
Bored. Hungry. Thirsty. Where’s the toilet? I wanna play over there. Not allowed to touch this and that. Don’t run around. Don’t yell. Stop doing rude things. Don’t cry. Barf. Sleepy. Who gave them alcohol? I wanna go home! Stop crying. Etc and so on.
Kids and weddings rarely mix well, often making it a burdensome experience for everyone, mostly for the kids.
This is also why I hate weddings as an adult. They’re boring. Maybe I’d feel differently if it was my own wedding or if I was really emotionally invested in the couple or something.

Weddings are different if you’re a close friend of the betrothed. Then it’s a party with all your friends and a bunch of people you tangentially know.
Being a distant friend or cousin at those events sucks.
Or maybe the wedding they want to make wouldn’t be appropriate for kids?
A lot of times this is it. Adults want to get shitfaced, play songs with cuss words, and have fun.
You can’t do that with your kids in tow and with other people’s kids around.
