Naunga I am sorry that this subject has been bugging you.

The subject doesn't really bug me. It's the occasional encounter with someone who doesn't think that my life is valid because I choose not to have children. Like that guy that told Doug "Yeah, well that's great Doug. We used to do all that stuff, but decided to settle down, you know, start living life."
I can just hear that guy talking down to us "poor childless people"...which just to clarify: childless = people who want children, but are physically unable. childfree = people who choose not to have children.

You shouldn't have to defend your self for choosing to not have any, it's your choice.

Yes it is and I'm happy to meet people like you who can appreciate that fact. Thank you. I don't, however, feel like I have to defend my choice. Nothing that anyone says will change it, except me. I also do not need it validated. I simply request that it be respected.

Anyhow, thanks for the understanding and respect.
