| Obiviously these young women have not experienced any life before they had children, otherwise they would know there is a lot more to life than been a mother. I am a mother of one child whom I love with all my heart, but never would I say that makes me any better than any other woman. If I was there that day I would have had a field day, giving them hell for been so stupid. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Don't worry, wait until those "Real Women" go through the teenage years with their oh so wonderful children......LOL......th en see how "complete" they are. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| These are the same young women who will be divorced and fat in seven years time fighting their babys daddys for child support and his assets because "she earned them". They think it completes them when in reality they havent achieved anything other than having spat a kid out and live off what their hubbys bring home only to make him a microwave dinner when he gets home from work because she was too busy at the coffee shop all day with the other "complete" women taking about how perfect they really are. |

| You should have just told them that if their arrogant condescending opinions were shining examples of the ultimate women then you are glad you're not one of them. I love it satan.claws_666 LOL,I too am childless and am sick of the condescending remarks from certain family members, I sometimes think they are jealous because i can do what i want when i want and have no responsibilities..And i just love how i know nothing about them but am expected to put my hand in my pocket for birthday pressies etc. Not anymore ...:) |

| ..it just follows all the other stuff...you are not a real woman unless you have a painful long drawn out natural labour, breast feed or a size 14 or larger. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wow what an ignorant thing for these women to say to you and you were at a party, not fun! They just sound uneducated - the scene sounds borderline cultish to me. Or they are just crazy and vindictive. Your freedom and conviction mush have made them uncomfortable with their own choices. Sorry about your bad experience. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| On the knocker! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I've got 3 children but there is no way I would say that makes me more of a woman than my very good friend who has none. I wouldn't worry about it. I think these women are just jealous of you because they don't have the freedom they once had. |

| Wow! what a nasty bunch of women. Obviously all hae "issues" themselves. It's a choice for us all. I have two adult children, but, because of genetic mental illness from ex-husband's family (not disclosed to me prior to marriage), my life has been HELL. If it wasn't for my eldest Granddaughter, who is an angel, I wld regret having children, not that they can help it. Get on with your well-adjusted life and enjoy! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| its your choice. your single, no attachments, with plenty of opportunities still available! all the ingredients for a majority (not all) of 'mothers' to be jealous hence "Without a child you're less then a woman" to make you feel like there's something wrong with you but really their miserable themselves. |

| that is absolute rubbish! i cannot and do not WANT children! that in no way makes me any less of "woman" but you know what, if that's the attitude that "real women" have then i'm GLAD i'm not one of "them" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| While attending my sisters birthday on the weekend I found myself enjoying the company of young mothers until the rather passionate statement was made YOU ARE NOT A REAL WOMAN UNTIL YOU HAVE A CHILD. Instantly I stood against the comment claiming it as nonsense, bringing to mention women who desire to have children but cant, those who have had miscarriages and women who at this point in their lives rather focus on their careers. How are they any less of a woman then those with children? The conversation turned nasty as these young woman who believe they are NOW FULLY COMPLETE told me that i wouldnt understand because i havent experienced motherhood and later continued with claims that i must have deep issues because i am not in a relationship, married and without a child. We all know that motherhood is a great experience, responsibility and life changing in every way. I would never take away from the importance and beauty of motherhood but why do so many young mothers feel the need to segregate and divide themselves from other woman who choose different lifestyles and paths and pronounce themselves as superior women? We all have been designed and created with the same tools that achieve the same results. But some of the greatest achievements that woman have made are the rights to make their own choice, not be directed by social expectations and the power to support and encourage all to live their own personal dreams & fulfilment. Let us not become so simple minded in our views and be reminded of the many great women who never married or gave birth but changed the worlds view of what it is to truly be a woman. Who ruled and nurtured their nation & people, Who fought so your daughters could have rights, freedom and the option to chase their dreams. |
