Good article from my co-worker
Both my co-worker and I deal with some of these rude comments a lot since we both either don't want children or it's not high on the priority list. It's also rude for those that are TTC and have fertility issues.

Re: Good article from my co-worker
I think I have heard all of these before at some point. Not all directed toward me tho. I have gotten 1 quite a bit since we have ben married.
Number 2 gets to me. I was a second mom to my brother and sister (I grew up quick and missed my teen years). So I know a bunch about infants, toddlers, small children, etc.. Heck, my babby brother turned 8 this weekend. He was the first infant my H has ever held. Many people I know have kids and are just now having kids. Although none of them seem to take any advice I give to their questions seriously because I have never birthed a baby. Granted I do not know everything there is to know and certainly cannot give advice/ relate well when it comes to being pregnant/ giving birth. I do know about jaundice, eczema, colic, long sleepless nights pacing the floor, birthdays, first day of school, etc. Best birth control was my sister being born because after that I knew I didn't want one of my own until I was good and ready.
I have gotten unsolicited advice, since I have been married, about raising a child. That is an awkward situation.
I definitely feel ya erollis :-) And we were all children at one point in our lives :-) I still remember what it was like quite vividly! Which isn't always so great since I was a pretty sick kid in the hospital all the time.
I guess we just have to brush it off and move on and do what's best for us!
Your coworker really wrote that?! I totally posted that on my sister's FB page the other day because she has no kids (nor wants kids) and a lot of her friends who have kids treat her poorly or ignore her/don't invite her places because she is childless.
Awesome of your coworker!
