And for such a hateful comment, you handled it very well!<br /><br />I had some girl that didn't like the post I made about some of my ideals on raising children. She found me on Facebook and left a horribly hurtful message, saying I didn't deserve kids if I was going to incorporate rules like "Be seen and not heard"! This little tart (who's profile pic appeared to be herself, half naked) who was much younger than me had the nerve to think she had the right to even comment on the issue... laughable, and I think people like this are quite PATHETIC.Holly Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17997242896526760676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-31263287841513280102010-07-10T17:12:31.027-04:002010-07-10T17:12:31.027-04:00I don't understand why people read blogs that ...I don't understand why people read blogs that they have no understanding of and no desire to.

I'm here for you, and I know that the correct term in our community is Childfree! Besides, the word childless is so...depressing.

To me, the word "childfree" has replaced "childless", whether it was a conscious choice or one forced upon someone due to infertility and/or loss. "Free" has a more kind meaning than "less".Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507118457609696378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-65910284547247179392010-07-10T11:11:10.262-04:002010-07-10T11:11:10.262-04:00Wow, what a coward.

It shouldn't matter whether you choose to refer to yourselves as childfree or childless--it's YOUR choice, not the choice of some idiot leaving an anonymous comment. I'm sorry. That comment irritated me, so I can only imagine how that annoyed you. Hopefully that person either goes away or has the balls to post under their real name and clarify what he or she mean.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-35323371798249597342010-07-10T10:52:03.998-04:002010-07-10T10:52:03.998-04:00Mornin friend!
