It Seems Like The News Is Always The Same
Same old topic, just different bitches bitching about it...
Last night, I was talking with BMan about the promo, etc. etc. So we’re having a conversation, and I swear I had dialogue deja vu.
It wasn’t, it was simply that we have this same topic of conversation often.
We were talking about how it’s completely ok for coworkers, or supervisors, or the damned peanut gallery from payroll to judge the unmarried and childless as some sort of oddball who clearly is a closet serial killer because they don’t drive a minivan and always have at least 3 sticky children hanging off of one of their pockets.
Like myself. Like BMan.
Yet, how unacceptable would it be for BMan and I to sit in the corner, talking about how we can’t believe that Diane is on her 3rd marriage, and has 7 stepchildren at this point. That we are pretty certain the new husband is cheating like the 2nd one did, and why does she keep doing this shit to herself. Why doesn’t she just try single for a change? What is her fucking problem, does she think she’s too good for single?
We would be the enemy of the traditional union, we would be angry, bitter singles hating on the institution that has been in place since long before we came along to question it.
But, for some reason, it’s perfectly ok to ask me why I never wanted to have kids? Or why did neither of my marriages work out? Would it be ok if I asked if you and your husband were still seeing the therapist since he was caught sleeping with your neighbor? Twice. Or, if you were actually sure that all of your kids have the same dad, because they really don’t look as though they do?
Fuck no, that’s not ok. That’s just superrude. If I do it. If y’all run it back to me though, it’s just a typical lunch conversation. Who started this double standard that the only people eligible for criticism and unsolicited life goal advice are the unmarried and childless? What, did I not get the memo because I’m not a PTA member?
Angry Bitter Singles Rise Up! 🙌🙌🙌
It’s always been that way and until the single, childless people asks questions similar to the ones you mentioned above it will always be that way. I was single without kids for a long time. The child thing was a painful question after many losses. The single was none of their business but when I would say I wasn’t allowing or selling for cheating or abuse and ask why they did I was, as you said, seem as rude. All of the above are very personal questions, if you don’t want to open up your own personal life don’t ask someone else to share theirs.
