i hate kids and see no good reason to have one
the thought of going to dance recitals or tee ball games makes me sick
if that makes me weird that's cool with me

Last time I was at a Braves game I saw the whole family scene play out, one section over.
It was a Sunday afternoon game and that meant lots of mommy/daddy with the rug rats.
There were 7-8 families of parents with 2-4 kids each in the next section.
I'm pretty sure they didn't know each other before the game.
By the 3rd inning they all seemed like long lost friends and IGNORED the nearby couples and adults without kids.
I swear, it was like some set of unspoken rules were at work :
1. Most of the mom's and dad's drank several beers during the game.
2. They all took pics of each other with the kids.
3. They automatically watched the other kids when on a beer/snack run.
4. They all exchanged school stories and did some shameless bragging on what lil' douche did what, etc.
5. I was there by myself, 1 section over, back row . I could have set my hair on fire ,BUT without a kid with me, they would never notice. ???Adults like me seemed invisible to them .
6. Getting drunk in front of the kiddos was no biggy. BUT, they seemed a bit upset at the Kiss cam antics.
Upon driving home from the game, I reflected on what I had seen.
I knew the basic reason they all related to each other, but had no idea what a club it was.
I thanked GOD I had dodged that club and was a happy man . 100% serious.
