I don't want children and I don't want to hear yours

We had a lovely lunch today at Macaroni Grill with one exception. A lazy mother that refused to do anything more to wrangle her unruly children except to keep repeating "sit nicely please" over and over. It didn't work. She could have gotten off her ass and forced them too but I guess she couldn't be bothered. I know its exhausting being a parent and blah blah blah but everyone else in the f-ing restaurant has paid hard earned money to come out and have a relaxing time and its not so relaxing to have your kids practically jumping on our heads and screaming right next to us. I'd go to Chuckey Cheese if Iwanted that. And to set the record straight I CHOSE not to have children. I'm not selfish and I'm perfectly capable of bearing children and I do have a husband so its none of those reasons. I just don't have any maternal desire at all. I love my friend's kids because I can spoil them and send them home but that doesn't mean I like the back of my heels rammed with a stroller or that I like having to dive out of the way of one because some breeder can't look where she's going. I'm not a second class citizen because I don't have children. I have just as many rights as you do. So please be considerate while you are out and about with your little ankle biters that some of us might not think they are cute or think you own the world just because you learned how to reproduce.
