You Haven’t Come a Long Way, Baby

This may turn into an annual rant, but I am getting really tired of the baby stuff. I work in academia, and you’d think that the relatively career-focused and relatively liberal people there would be a bit more thoughtful. Instead, they continue to talk up the joys of parenthood and they encourage me to try it out, too. And in the meantime, they give childless me plenty of work they don’t want to do or can’t do due to their childcare commitments.

Enough with the baby nonsense already! Don’t punish me for not having kids and don’t assume I ought to or want to have them myself.
