May I graciously disagree? Childless people ARE a minority. This is why there is room to educate. Most women are mothers....statistically.

Also, can you expand on your comment:

I have found the opposite. Most childless (not by choice) men seem to be ok. It's the women who have had difficulty with this. On our website, we have more women than men who have become members.

A good one, Dotsie. I'll need to use that one as a ice breaker next time I'm in a new crowd of folks.

However, I must pay a compliment to the couple/family I sat with. They WERE able to continue a conversation about other subjects NOT including their kids. We spoke about growing up, our siblings, music, the town in which we live. So, thankfully, they DO have a life outside. Plus, they were probably glad to NOT talk "kid talk".

Sadly, the culture in which we live in the most Southwest part of this country, families w/children are rampant. Many, many are unmarried. I think I have become desensitized. Back east, where I am from, this "way of life" is not so prevalent. I sure miss the east coast!
