It’s just so sad that people are still blinded by his BS, under the guise of free speech. His misinformation is dangerous & he is no doubt making a motza from those who “believe”. You just have to look at the blindness of the comments on the mamamia facebook post about this article. So sad. 

And still the comments here continue to invalidate the childless. I think you missed the point of the article. 

Great article & sums up my experiences too. Thankfully for me, I’ve just turned 50, so now I don’t get the ‘why’, etc, because now I’m too old & having a child would be “irresponsible”, right!! Either way, I have made peace with my ‘reason’ for not having children. They are just not my thing. 

Amen to all of these. Sometimes I feel like please & thank you are a forgotten artform. Rare as hen’s teeth. Being able to pick up social cues & read a room are really important cues for children to learn & take with them into adulthood. When did swearing & yelling at each other become normal?? Manners are gold. 

Adam Cretin wasn’t the only one. Stan Grant’s over talking & self important delivery was cringe worthy. 

Hallelujah, an article that explains exactly what I have endured my whole working life. It pains me that time & time again I have had to justify why I would like to access flexibility in my work & have been made to feel guilty because I don’t have a “legitimate” reason. I’m so happy that work places are family friendly, but for those of us without children, the same understanding just isn’t there......yet.
