Here's who's decided to anger up my blood today: people who have kids and think their lives are somehow more important and fulfilling than the lives of those who don't. Seriously, fuck you very much if you think just because I haven't decided to breed my life has less meaning and significance than yours.

Yeah, I've been mentally punching people in the face since this morning.

I was just talking to someone about this the other day. I used to work with someone who acted exactly this way. His go-to phrase was, "You don't understand, you don't have kids..."

Please. The asshole's wife stayed at home with the kids, so I always wanted to say, "Well, Chris, your wife is at home with the kids all the time while you're at work, so I really don't think you understand what it's like to have kids, either."

(Not implying all working dads are inattentive to their kids. Just this particular working dad.)

I can only imagine how grating that must have been. It's like, I don't *need* to understand. I respect your experience. Now just don't belittle my choice, you know?
