They're just as bad as my parents - they refuse to accept me for who I am.

I do agree, Holly! Otherwise, if that doesn't work - then I would suggest bringing it up with a lawyer.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Child-Free by Choice." I am 50 years old and never had the slightest desire to have children. My aunt once told me that I was selfish not to provide my mother with grandchildren. Here's what I consider selfish:
1. Women who have children they can't afford and expect the rest of us to pay for them. 2. Women who have children while married to, or involved with, men who abuse them. These men are highly likely to abuse the children, too. 3. People who have children hoping to save a failing relationship. 4. People who keep having children because they are trying for a particular sex. 5. Alcoholics and drug addicts who continue to drink and do drugs while pregnant, knowing the effects it could have on the child. I'm glad some of us realize we are not parent material. -- Child-Free and Happy Dear Child-Free: You aren't the only one who thought so. Read on: From Connecticut: I'm 38, my husband is 43, and we've been married five years. Neither of us has a burning need to reproduce. Two years before our wedding, my husband noticed a couple in their mid-40s, enjoying themselves on a docked boat. The name of the boat? "Instead of Kids." That did it for us. East Coast: I was married at 18, had my first child at 19, and my third at 25. When I asked to have a tubal ligation, I was told, "You're too young. Wait until you're 30." On my 30th birthday, I asked again to have the surgery and was told to wait three more years. All this time, I've been taking either birth control pills or injections that put me at risk for blood clots and stroke, and have kept my weight and blood pressure up, just to keep me from having that extra kid I don't want. I love the children I have, I just don't want any more. Midwest: I'm 41 years old, married 11 years. I have no urge to put on excess weight, throw up in the morning, have swollen ankles and go through hours of labor. I believe people are jealous that I have a higher standard of living and a more carefree lifestyle. I come and go as I please. I buy whatever I want or need. They, on the other hand, have to plan their life around the needs and wants of their children.

I don't see anything wrong with not having kids, either.
