40, Married, Childless

So you say you love children and you want them and you're trying. But every time a mini adult gets within 2 feet of you, you turn your head and snub them as if they are a cold cup of coffee. What is that all about? You're 40 and recently married for a reason. You're a WEIRDO. There is no shame in saying you don't want kids at all, especially to couples with kids. We understand. We have moments where we wish we were in your shoes. But don't come around and pretend like you're all into kids when it's clear as day, you're not.

People without kids are awkward around children, even when they insist they are great around kids. There is still a way about them that is bizarre and in the least, uncomfortable. Often times these faux child friendly adults make the parents uncomfortable. A parent is the first one to notice when another childless adult is about to be completely put off. Friend of many years or not, we can see your discomfort and would rather you eat your sandwich in the other room away from the children.
