I respect anyone's decision to remain childless, but don't be envious of those who do and have baby showers.

OK, I can go along with that. But child-free folk find themselves leaned on a lot with the idea that they have free time that those who CHOSE to have kids don't.

That's just it. It's their "choice" to have or have not, and no one else's concern. I don't whine to childless couples about my 3 and I don't want them bragging about being able to fly anywhere anytime because they don't have any. I could care less. If you choose to have children, you make the sacrifices and shut-up, if you choose not to, don't complain about not getting any attention or get defensive and tell me your reasons for remaining childless.
