I came across your post by way of another member commenting on it. I found it interesting because I've experienced similar situations and I find it just as annoying as you do. I do not have children, many of the people who criticize me don't realize that my life just did not take that turn, I made other choices for myself; and I never really think about it until someone makes a comment similar to the employee you supervise. I don't feel bad about it. I have a good life and I don't feel "defined" by the fact that I don't have children today. Kids are not the only thing that can give a woman meaning in her life, and I am way happier than the folks I know that have children. They tell me all the time they wished they were like me - childless... so ... Meh, don't let them get to you.

First, you get to do what you want (and maybe to play devil's advocate re abortion I always wondered why the father doesnt' have an equal right to the kid, hmm maybe my own poll) but until recently I always thought that all women had that "maternal instinct" and at some time all wanted tohave kids. I was straightened out that not all women have or get that. so it's clearly not "natural." As with everything else in life, as I believe most of us agree here, religion has no say.

Love my kids but in a do over I would not have children.

Your employee is a bible-bashing asshole who does not understand the slightest part of the book they claim to promote. Idiot !! lol

Growing up I didn't realize having children was a choice. I thought if I wanted a woman in my life then that was a given.
When I met my wife she put me straight on that. Consequently I actually had to consider if I wanted any. Turned out not to matter though cus I wanted my wife and she doesnt want kids. Rather have the woman I love than a kid ive never met.

This may also be a violation of your companies harassment policy. Might want to talk to HR if it continues.. he is creating a hostile work environment.

Personally, I'm a great uncle.. but parent? no thanks

I had no children, and l have no regrets. I know it is different for women, but l have a good female friend and my sister-in-law, both of whom had no children and they are fine. Your life, your choice.

I am a bit older. 61. What there are 7 b people on this planet and machines and robots are replacing 60% of the labor. I believe it is very rational to not have children, especially in the us.

Childless by choice. I've heard all of the arguments. I was just born without a maternal instinct, it's who I am and I'm happy to be me.

Pay that fool no mind.
Having children is a personal choice. Does he know there are thousand of children in foster care because they do have a good home. What about world population running out of control.
I wonder if he believes all the other mess about women in the bible..
Ugh people like this should be stoned... Just joking but he has a serious flaw idea of how the world is instead of what his foolish book states.

To each their own, but I've always thought wanting kids was strange.

I find it funny that the species that CAN'T give birth have the most opinons about women's bodies and reproductive health. Asshat.

I applaud people who are self aware enough to know they do not want children and do not have them. I cannot imagine the societal and familial pressures.
