We all know one.
That friend that over shares about their kids lives on social media. Or the friend who always turns the topic of conversation to the colour of their kids’ poo. Over brunch, while you’re eating your scrambled eggs.
Sometimes it can make you feel, well….
Not everyone loves babies. And it doesn’t make you a monster. Some times you just don’t…feel it.
Buzzfeed has now captured what non-kid-people are thinking when they have someone else’s baby shoved into their arms.

The video also captures some of the irritating things that people say to people who don’t like children: “You were a baby. Why don’t you like babies?” Um, I also wee’d in my pants when I was a baby, but that doesn’t mean that I love doing that now…
Ultimately, it’s an excellent reminder to parents and non parents alike: Never say “Well, you’re gonna change your mind when your biological clock starts ticking,” to a childless friend. Because, as the video shows, some people are more than happy to hit snooze on that alarm clock.
Can you relate?…

I am 35 and of all my friends, only one remains childless now. She is so precious to me not only because she is my oldest and dearest friend but also because when I go out with her I get to talk about non kid things, non family things and non school related things. I rarely bring up my child except for a brief update because you know what? She's there to see ME not hear about my child and I really love her for that. Kids are the best, they joyfully take over your life, but I must agree, people without kids don't want to hear about it.
Had dinner the other night with two friends. I don't have kids and they were talking ad nauseum about their kid's diets. I was like a) 'kill me' b) Note to self: never go to an expensive restaurant with only these two ever again and c) Mothers - go out with other mothers and talk kid food. Do not invite non-child bearing friend along. It really is like sitting next to someone who is conversing in a different language (ie rude). Also, please understand the world does not find your child's life interesting. Sorry but true.
