Fine! I am a D.I.N.K (Dual Income No Kids) I know you judge me and other’s like me because you feel we have no real responsibilities in life (by responsibilities I mean kids) and live somewhat selfishly. But guess what I am probably judging you too.But why not if you could only see yourselves, if your in a crowded venue and can loudly hear a man and women talking and they are joined with their with kids for some reason they believe they are entitled to bless us all with their “Family Chatter” as I call it, which includes everything from where stuff should be located in their baby carriage to loudly replying their son or daughter’s questions and the exchange is at least 20db larger than anyone else in their immediate eco system.What ever happened to common courtesy? Is this a learned lesson in life or should everyone be aware of this basic sense of decency. It’s like, what I see drivers around the city, if you are driving in a normal car of standard length and feel that it is required to make a wide right hand turn which actually propels your vehicle into the adjacent lane to the left of your car forcing that driver to know make an adjustment so they don’t hit your car, you probably need to go back to drivers school, because your back tires will pivet and do the job for you. So my question is should we have mandated by the government parenting training, so that as a society we establish a social standard that everyone is held to? —Bedford N.S Resident

First, we need to improve the education system.
Blame our shitty education system.
Remember kids, if there is no fear of failure, then there is no point to even trying.
You live in Bedford, huh? That explains plenty.
I’ll agree to mandatory government parenting classes if we also allow only those with Children to vote. No stake in the future? Then no say in the future.
Not at all surprised this person is from Bedford.
Nobody ‘owns’ a driver’s license in Canada.
Driving in Canada (and Bedford) is a privilege, not a right, that can be revoked for any reason.
You may want to spend some of the time you are not taking care of the kids you probably can’t seed (of course presenting your non spawn as a choice, not an evolutionary precaution!), or other things that don’t involve your selfish self directly to perhaps expand your knowledge of the country you live in.
Without kids, who is going to pay to support your sorry, selfish skin going forward?
I can’t put my finger on who, but you really remind me of someone I hate.
Funny, I feel the same way when I have to listen to a DINK try to air their misplaced feelings of superiority. Man what a twat. Thank god you aren’t bringing any people into this world.
Wow! @RealityMan…so my driver’s licence can be revoked for any reason? Perhaps someone didn’t like the colour of my car: licence revoked? or they thought my car stereo was too loud: licence revoked? I am pretty sure the revocation of a driver’d licence has to be related to some conduct contrary to the Highway Traffic Act or the Criminal Code of Canada.
And to your “Without kids, who is going to pay to support…” Really? You’re relying on them to pay for your old, lazy ass? Maybe you need to spend some time learning about the retirement investment plans in this country instead of depending on the contributions of the future generation who can’t even support themselves let alone fund your retirement.
Hate is a strong word, but I really, really don’t like you.
The woman in the grocery store had two kids in her cart. I asked her if there was a sale on small children.
Then she got mad when I asked her how she likes them prepared…
World population has gone from 3 to 7.4 billion in my lifetime (and continues exponentially).
Kids are the biggest ecological footprint you’ll ever leave.
DINKS are doing their part to keep the population down…
Why does it have to be that one group is inherently better than the other? People who buy into such narrow us-vs-them arguments are stupid. It’s not selfish to do with your life whatever you feel would make you happiest. For some that is producing offspring, for others that is travelling or what have you. Just live and let live FFS…it is impossible for anyone to be a good/bad person or better/worse than another because of one life choice. Unless that choice is like rape or murder I guess.
Flowey is right. The grammatical points are made throughout the narrative.
