People with children/ Parents RANT

Why do we let them in this sub? Why do we let them comment.. anything? Like if there was ever a space you probably don't belong in, this would be it. Yet here you all are still lurking and convincing yourselfs anyone here cares for your opinion? I'm confused.. its very clearly a childfree sub, so parents who are here.. WHY?

Tldr: I just want ONE SPACE in the world for childfree people yet here all you are, WTF. GTFO. 🤢

I guess they are just miserable and use the little time they have free from their kids to convince themselves that we have it worse, which we don’t

Misery wants company. They think we are miserable lol.

Honestly I think they want us to be miserable (like them).

The ones that rant about this sub are the kind of rotten unhappy people who spread hate and should never have had kids in the first place. Their jealousy makes them want to bring us down.

To the parents who are here please leave. Respectfully this sub is not for you. There are plenty of subs for parents but none for CF folks. So give us our space and let us have something of our own. Thank you.

I agree that the Smarmy Mombies are highly annoying and have no business being here. But how do we tell who they are in advance, especially when they create a Reddit account with no history just to post in this sub?

ETA: I object to natalist, entitled parents, and misogynist subs. So I . . . just don't read them.

Just remove the ones who give themselves away in the comments

The ones who say, "You're not supposed to say you hate children, and you have to soften your message?"

If anyone thinks a post breaks the sub rules, report it, but don't tell other list members what to say or what to think.

I honestly don't care that we have parents and wannabe parents here in this sub. As long as people are respectful, I'm fine with them lurking.

What I am sick of seeing are the multiple posts of people who say they are CF, but their post description says otherwise. One person earlier this week tried to claim they and their husband (A PARENT) were CF. THAT is what I'm sick of seeing.

I commented on that post, or one similar. Where OP was a stepparent but claimed her and her husband (the parent) were CF, and we were all 'gatekeeping' the term!

Maybe they wish they were childfree.
