S ISN'T JUST FOR SANTA. S IS FOR SINGLE - A GREAT WAY TO BE !

DON'T FORGET TO BUY YOURSELF A CHRISTMAS PRESENT!

A HOLIDAY MESSAGE FROM SISTER - TAKE A MOMENT AND LET US KNOW WHO YOU ARE !

A HOLIDAY MESSAGE FROM SISTER

This blog emerged as a great idea over a holiday. Christmas is FAMILY TIME - right? I don't know about you but if you're forever unmarried and childess, even by choice, the holidays with the emphasis on family and children can make you feel too totally alone, even if you really aren't. Probably no other time of the year is more challenging to NMNK's.

I wonder about YOU, the reader of this blog.

Which description would best fit you?

* I never desired children and don't plan to have any and am not sorry I never did?

* I put off having children or adopting or cannot bear children due to infertility or transgendering?

* I'm too young or too old to have children biologicially whether I want children or not?

When it comes to marriage...

* I don't believe in life-long commitments?

* I'd like a partner in life for a life-long commitment but it hasn't happened for me and may never.

* I plan to marry but not have children?

* I'm divorced and plan never to remarry or have children?

* I will not marry because of religions vows for celebacy and singlehood?

There must be many other mind-sets out there when it comes to this issue and reason for this blog, in which I hope to be supportive of others. If you are wondering about me, my answers would be that I am never married and never had any desire to have children. I don't believe I missed out not having children, now that I can no longer. I haven't spent more than 10 minutes of my life wondering if maybe it would be a good idea for me. I've never had a life partner either and I always knew that a traditional marriage of being a stay at home wife and mother would not satisfy me. I leave it open as to love and a commitment till death.

WE KNOW SANTA's MARRIED ? BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ELVES !

Ever since cartoons introduced Mrs. Santa Claus we must conclude the merry prankster is married. I take it from a good source that Hobbits and Gnomes also marry. However, does anyone know if ELVES marry?

MISTRESS SUPPORT GROUP ! SARAH J. SYMONDS

Sarah Symonds is a bitter ex mistress and she wants to help you get out from the lies and deceit of having an affair with a married man. Click on the title above to get to her personal web site which offers the book she's written all about it. "HAVING AN AFFAIR - THE BOOK." (By the way is the term Affair used only when the other person is married?)
Sister, never ducking from controversy here thinks that FOR SOME WOMEN (AND MEN) BEING A MISTRESS IS A PERFECT SCENARIO. Sure if you want to be a married woman being a mistress instead is bound to be frustration. But what if you know you don't want to marry or have children, you have a full life, like your independence, and feel that being a mistress - at least temporarily - is a way to reach your goals and have a better than struggling life?

IF YOU DON'T WANT CHILDREN USE CONTRACEPTION!

Ladies and Gentleman, if you do not want a child right now, if you are unable to go through a pregnancy healthy or do not have reason to believe you can support that child, USE CONTRACEPTION!

Through my lifetime I have known women who became pregnant while using contraception - the pill, the IUD, diaphragms, spermicides, condoms, and even one woman who had her tubes "tied" but somehow they grew back together! I pitied these women who had to make the hard decision of adoption or abortion, having a child before they were ready, forcing a relationship between the man who provided the sperm when he was not ready for marriage.

CONTRACEPTION IS NOT PERFECT.
Not every woman can use every method! Still, not using contraception at all is downright craziness if you don't want a child. You have to at least try to prevent becoming pregnant !

So before you are forced into a tough decision that probably will only get more expensive, USE CONTRACEPTION.


THAT GOES FOR YOU MEN OUT THERE DOUBLE !

If you are not using a rubber every time you have sex, you are asking for fatherhood!

Use condoms every time, even if you know or believe your lover is using contraception.



IT'S SAFE SEX TOO !

OBAMA ELECTED NEXT U.S. PRESIDENT and HERE'S TO JAMES BUCHANAN

James Buchanan, the 15th U.S. President, the one before Abraham Lincoln, was the only president of the United States to never marry or have children. Click on the title above to get to the POTUS (Presidents of the United States) site and start reading a bit about J.B.

Was he really so heartbroken over a broken engagement that he never thought to marry again, in times when it was quite rare to go single? Was he perhaps homosexual and not inclined to a cover marriage? Or perhaps a confirmed careerist who knew his limits when it came to giving his time and energy?

CHILDFREE BY CHOICE - check out this link

According to the article/website for CHILDFREE BY CHOICE, being childfree is a "growing phenomenon."

"According to the National Center for Health Statistics, in 1975 about one in eleven women was childless by the age of 44. By 1993, that number had risen to approximately one in six. 34.9 million American families were childless and only 33.3 million families had a child under the age of 18."

HALLOWEEN BRINGS UP THE PERSECUTION OF "WITCHES"

Halloween and it's celebration of the witch - sometimes depicted as a beautiful, sexy, "Good Witch," but more often the elderly ugly "Bad Witch" or "Hag," reminds Sister here of the fact that through history many NMNK women have been the ones suspected of, accused of, and convicted of witchcraft or sorcery.  

Though witchcraft no doubt existed and exists, from what I've learned about the subject, it is often those who are or appear defenseless because they have no familial or husbandly protection that are easily singled out for abuse, harassment, and victimization.

Today people who do not marry and/or have no children are still thought of as odd, and while some of them perhaps have little choice in the matter, many others do.

Because so many people live together in what would be marriage and so many people have children without marriage or living together or become parents through remarriage, today we may have to think about someone who is NMNK as someone who believes living alone is the best way of life for them. People who live alone may perhaps be celibate by choice as well so we may actually live a more monastic by choice existence than ever before. For some of us living alone may be about pursuing a more spiritual way of life and for some that more spiritual way of life includes practicing ritual, mantra, meditation, or magic.

Happy Halloween to our "Witchy" sisters and brothers who are "SOLO."

HATEFUL ANNONYMOUS BLOGGER CLAIMS DR. LAURA HAS NEVER SAID ...

MARRIED PEOPLE OUGHT TO DUMP THEIR SINGLE FRIENDS...

Sister is really smelling the baby diapers here!

Sister recently received a very anonymous violently hateful comment which she REJECTED because of the fact that the person claimed to know Dr. Laura personally! (But of course wants to remain unknown like the coward he or she is.) This person went on, attacking me personally rather than my message or posing any INTELLIGENT COMMENTARY.

Shall we switch to open ID instead so that attacks can't come from just anywhere!?

It's OK if you don't agree with our stance here. If you can be respectful about it. But don't expect respect here if you don't earn it!

99.9 percent of the word is going to tell you you're abnormal if you don't BREED! Not feminine or masculine. Not a "real" man or "real" woman. So when Sister gets hate mail it is NOT SURPRISING.

I have read a few of Dr. Laura's books which is saying a lot since most people who are not her fans don't bother to get her drift by using their time to read her. I also have mutual friends through the radio business who suggest that a certain broadcaster who "helped" her career and wrote his own memoir/bio openly talks about how this Neo Conservative Dr. Laura opened her legs to him for her own career when she was young; something she would advise you never do. That's right. She slept around.

She stayed home and raised her child? Are you sure? Or is it that she worked part time ambitiously and was willing to sabotage at least one of her fellow female broadcasters in the process, greedy and hell bent to succeed at any cost?

And she really is NOT entitled to use the Dr. in front of her name, since in our society that means you became a doctor- physician or are a professor at a university and she has never practiced medicine or been a college level professor. Did she earn a PHD? Yes. But not in a subject that academically qualifies her for being a counselor. She has as much background in social work as a gypsy fortune teller!

Maybe Dr. Laura did not say "dump your friends who are single now that you are married as soon as you get off the phone with me" in those exact words. But she has told married people that they should be associating with other married couples - ie that they no longer have anything in common with their left behind single friends. And she has said things that give the impression that once married your single friends can only be bad influences that will lead you to cheat. And the day I heard this comment on the radio - which was some years ago - I WAS SO ANGRY I HAD TO TAKE A FIVE MILE WALK.

IT WAS THE SAME crapola so many of us who Wisely Chose NOT To Marry or Have Children have put up for eons... Those of us who are only acceptable in our families if all those who Did Marry and Live Their Lives Around Their Children and HATE IT, can dump the kids off on us for free babysitting and vacations... Somehow we are supposed to redeem our solitude and sanity by taking care of their kids and being an honorary auntie or uncle...

At any rate, I dare my readers to phone up Dr. Laura and flat out ask her what she thinks circa 2008 and report back to this blog. On your report you must state what station you heard the broadcast, what city, what time you called, what your question was to Dr. Laura and what her answer was.

CHILDFREE BY CHOICE

"Do women who have fewer or no children live longer? A study of genealogical records kept by British aristocrats for 1,200 years shows that nearly half of all women who survived past 81 were childless. Similar results held for men. One explanation, says Thomas Kirkwood, a biologist at the University of Manchester, is that when the body commits more of its resources for reproduction, fewer might be available to support a long life."

WHAT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE THE BABYSITTER FOR YOUR NEICE OR NEPHEW ?

How about you? Have you begun to think that your brother or sister, or brother-in-law or sister-in-law is using you as an unpaid babysitter, using a guilt trip on you, expecting YOU MS. or MR. UNMARRIED AND CHILDLESS, because they think you OUGHT TO WANT TO BE A GREAT AUNTIE OR UNCLE since they do not approve of your child-free lifestyle?

HAVE THEY TOLD YOU THAT IF ONLY YOU SPENT MORE TIME WITH CHILDREN YOU WOULD CHANGE YOUR MIND AND WANT SOME OF YOUR OWN?

WHY IS IT ASSUMED THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE A "RELATIONSHIP" WITH THEIR CHILDREN?

WHAT IF YOU DON'T PARTICULARLY LIKE CHILDREN, and ESPECIALLY NOT YOUR NIECE AND NEPHEW who (if truth be known) you would not raise the way they're being raised if you did?!

TOO INDEPENDENT? OR TOO MARRIED

My boyfriend of late has dumped me. He needed to spend more time with me but to me it felt like he was always wanting to be with me, go everywhere together, on and on.
Maybe we could have negotiated quality time instead of quantity time. I let it be known that I thought he was used to being married (divorced after a decade of marriage) and I was used to being Independent... not waiting on someone, not scheduled by someone, but willing and able to do and go when I want to. He quickly picked up a romance with a woman who has nothing to do but hang out... Still, break-ups are always sad. Sister

ADSENSE BLOOPER - THE JOKES ON ME ?

This blog was originally opened with an open-heartedness to signing up for Adsense and seeing what happens. Well, I noted yesterday that in the CATEGORIES BELOW there were three that seemed inappropriate - kids/children's products and services?! This is the hilarity of a computer reading material that apparently NO HUMAN BEING HAS EVER LOOKED AT. ah.... Google Adsense, this blog is called NEVER MARRIED NO CHILDREN and is pro the unmarried unencumbered-with-children lifestyle...
I'm not saying every reader here cringes when they see those parents at the mall with their kids on leashes... but some do!

This is not the favorite blog of people like Michelle Pfeiffer who thinks there is something wrong with people who don't have children. Or Sylvia Plath who had them and then stuck her head in an oven and commit suicide! So you gotta do something like start featuring ads for CONTRACEPTION !

THE LAST THING FANS OF THIS BLOG WANT IS ADS FOR CHILDREN'S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. WE DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN HERE!

INTENTIONAL FAMILY - FAMILY OF FRIENDS

INTENTIONAL FAMILY - FAMILY OF FRIENDS

By Sister C 2008

The word friend is generic. It can mean anything including that someone is an enemy - frenemy. Some friends however surpass your genetic family or any family by legal marriage. For a person who wishes to remain single, these friends may be better "family" than the one's you got stuck with. Being unmarried and childless now and forever does not mean you are anti-social, a loner, or that you hate all children. It doesn't mean that you can't be part of a family. But if your "real" family rejects you due to your lifestyle, the best thing to do is build a family of friends. These are people who will be there for you when you are broke, sick, or you die. So they are certainly not people who are unstable in your life. Think about it.

WHICH OF YOUR FRIENDS CAN YOU COUNT ON TO BE LIKE A BROTHER OR SISTER?

ABUSE BY PSYCHOLOGIST BECAUSE YOU ARE NEVER MARRIED?

Has anyone been abused - harshly officially diagnosed - over their disinterest or unwillingness to marry and/or have children? It has happened and the Scientologists are not the only ones who believe that psychology has gotten into an overly powerful place in which EVERYONE IS DIAGNOSABLE. Is psychology dictating our VALUES as a society or as individuals? Are they redefining what is normal? Hmmm...

IS YOUR FRIEND'S CHILD HER EXCUSE FOR BEING LATE or A NO SHOW?

My Yoga Teacher did it AGAIN this morning. I got up with the alarm (instead of sleeping in), and I spent the gas money and drove 20 minutes to be on time for class. Then we were left waiting for 15 minutes (not the first time) and then another teacher came in to tell us that ours had an "emergency" with her three year old and would not be able to make it. Some sub came in and did a class he made up as he went along - stretch exercises focused on ab development - like who gives a crap? I was laying there on the mat furious.

DO YOU HAVE A FRIEND or COWORKER or BOSS WHO USES HER CHILD AS AN EXCUSE for why SHE IS UNPROFESSIONAL? Are you always being asked to UNDERSTAND and FORGIVE because (Damn it!) her kid is just sooooooo cute ? Are you supposed to assume that her parenting responsibilities should be her priority over professional commitments? Are you asked to baby sit at no charge because you got elected to be "AN AUNT?" (Or is this now part of your ever expanding job description for which you will not be paid more because child care - when you like a kid - really ISN'T WORK? Is the kid always especially rude and obnoxious when she has company - you - which is distracting? (In other words she (and her partner) ARE NOT GOOD PARENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE RAISING DEMANDING BRATS!?) ADMIT IT! The kids are the biggest excuse ever!

THE BEST THING

ABOUT THE UNITED STATES

IS OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

COULD A NEVER MARRIED NO CHILDREN PERSON EVER RUN FOR OR BE ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES ?

YAHOO NEWS ON THE POSSIBLE FIRST LADY'S IMPACT ON A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION is under the title.

We had one single President... do you know who he was?

Being a married couple with children seems to be essential to the "NORMALITY" and (fake) "The family is the foundation of our nation" rah rah rah of being elected President. What's a Hillary without a Bill (how about far better off. If only she had figured that out!)

HOW INFLUENCED BY THE POTENTIAL FIRST LADY ARE YOU WHEN IT COMES TO VOTING?

WHO QUALIFIES TO BE A PARENT ?

How many children are brought into this world through the love of their parents, parents who are ready, willing, and able to give a child everything it needs to prosper as a human being?

Sad to say, the majority of children brought into this world are NOT PLANNED, and NOT WANTED! AND THE MAJORITY OF PARENTS DO NOT HAVE IT TO BE PARENTS!

Think I'm wrong?

Think of all the children who live their lives in various forms of poverty! In Los Angeles many only have their state funded free lunch for their food and go to be hungry.
Think of all the children who are abused...
In extreme cases taken from their parents and go on to live in a series of abusive foster homes.

If the only children born into this world were wanted and raised in love, there would be no OVERPOPULATION PROBLEM!

GAY MARRIAGE - THEY RUSH TO SIGN UP !

GAY MARRIAGE ? In California the recent vote that allows gay marriage has gay couples ready to rush the gates of the justice of the peace to sign up. Click on the title above to go right to the YAHOO NEWS ARTICLE.

Now that some Gay people will have the legal right to marry, let's look at what's really behind this.
Insurance. Large companies such as Disney have already been giving unmarried domestic partners medical insurance. Gay people rush to work for a Disney because they can live together - or pretend to - and give someone else very valuable, generally costly out of the pocket, medical insurance. Now that gay marriage is LEGAL, domestic partner rights will diminish. Legal marriage and sharing of all finances in this community property state will become the prerequisite for medical and other benefits that have always been based on LEGAL MARRIAGE....

"PEOPLE WHO HAVE CHILDREN STAY YOUNG...

...And all my friends who never had children are looking much older," a middle aged woman said to me last night. She was encouraging me to take on the mentorship and motherly discipline of two wayward teenage girls who are in my apartment building and who I have been concerned about. I didn't say it, because she is a mother, but IT'S JUST THE OPPOSITE IN MY EXPERIENCE. The ones with the children, especially the single mothers, look ten years older than the ones who are deliberately happily childless, like me. I'm frequently guessed to be five to ten years younger than I am, and that's without makeup, fashion, or hairstyles to help the cause...

POLYGAMISTS HAVE 400 CHILDREN THEY NEED TO FIGHT FOR CUSTODY OF

Today's BIG YAHOO HEADLINE is about the Polygamists whose compound was discovered to be a BREEDING RANCH for children. Needless to say, you know what Sister here thinks of the whole thing. We're not for breeding indiscriminately under any circumstance in which people have choice, and we don't think much of these religions and cults that pretty much hold women to live lives BASED ON BIOLOGICAL ability to procreate. Mother's "love" isn't just about being "nice" to children. It's about meeting the needs of children too. And for girl children especially that includes being raised with a vision of possibility that goes beyond being wives and mothers, and especially not servile to a man (or many men) who take sexual rights with them to be their prerogative. So where should these 400 children go?

HOW ABOUT TO SOME PEOPLE WHO CAN GIVE THEM BETTER PROMISE OF A FUTURE that isn't convoluted by screwy parents! ... Especially not those females with the quasi-colonial modest outfits that hide the reality of what stands in our society as child molestation!

GAY MARRIAGE ? WHY ?

To me the only good reason for gay marriage is for wealth building, health insurance security, and well - all those other reasons people who would like to be divorced STAY MARRIED! All the reasons that two old people living on social security who would like to be married CAN'T GET MARRIED!

MARRIAGE IS an ECONOMIC UNION, just as THE FAMILY is - or should I say USED TO BE!

Sure people love, love is promoted as THE REASON to marry, very recently in history by the way!

HAS ANYONE EVER ASKED YOU ( A NEVER MARRIED PERSON) "HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE?"

I don't know about YOU, but I can't believe the personal questions people feel free to ask someone they have just met - and in public yet. More than once, beginning when I made it to about 30, people - including a boss I worked for - took to expressing their suspicion of me by asking me "Have you ever been in love?"

I guess the assumption is that if you are not yet married you have never been in love. (After all if you love someone then maybe marriage is inevitable?)

THE OLDER YOU GET THE MORE SUSPICIOUS THEY GET!

What if you turn it around? The next time someone (a man perhaps) asks you "Why isn't a nice girl (woman to you man!) aren't married?" Perhaps you could say, "What's a nice boy like you doing married?!"

NEVER MARRIED PRIESTS AND NUNS SPEAK UP

If you are a never married priest or nun or a monastic we would like to hear from you about your lifestyle! How old were you when you took your vows? Were you /are you a virgin? Do you think you make the right choice for your life? Do you miss not having a partner besides God or not having children? How do you deal with lonliness, if you are lonely? Do you mentor others?

THE CASE FOR "SETTLING" FOR MR. WRONG IN ORDER TO HAVE CHILDREN DISPUTED !

The Week magazine, March 7, 2009 in the Talking Points section, page 19...
Love and Marriage: The case for "settling."

Discussing Lori Gottlieb in The Atlantic Monthly, who advises women that they should settle for men who are "Mr. Good Enough," rather than "Mr. Right," in order to "have the infrastructure in place to have a family," MEGHAM DAUM in the Los Angeles Times says "You shouldn't since this is no longer the 19th century." "The case for settling" presumes that motherhood "is as necessary a part of adult female life as breathing." In reality, "there are infinite ways to define a fulfilling life," and parenthood is only one of them..."

Lesley M.M. Blume in Huffingtonpost.com suggests a personal ad for Gottlieb to consider:

"SWF will condescend to tolerate a subpar, chores-oriented, largely absentee man to participate in joyless marriage that will resemble a mundane non-profit."

THE WEEK / DON'T LOOK TO NATURE TO GUIDE OUR MORALITY by Neil Shubin

"The Week" magazine, March 7, 2008, has a short article on page 12 mentioning Neil Shubin of the New York Times and his article about Mother Nature.

"When it comes to defining sexual deviance, said Neil Shubin, Mother Nature does a lousy job. In arguments over such moral issues as cloning and same-sex unions, we humans often cite what we believe to be "natural," But if you examine nature closely, "the diversity of reproductive strategies seen in animals staggers the imagination." Some creatures clone themselves, some engage in homosexuality, and others switch genders. The Komodo dragon, for example, can occasionally create off spring through eggs hatched without the sperm of a daddy dragon. These "virgin births," observed in zoos, are a from of clothing,. Several species of fish also can reproduce by cloning, which is an ancient strategy that "species use to survive in a dangerous world...."

MARRIED WITH CHILDREN EMPOYEES TAKE ADVANTAGE OF CHILDLESS COWORKERS

This issue was really burning me up this morning.

You're the one who has not had children. Maybe you can't afford it. Maybe you're infertile. Maybe you just never wanted children.

HERE COMES YOUR SOCCER MOM BOSS expecting you to cover for her, make up work for her, stay late for her, so she can go see her son or daughter play. Did you know your job description includes making up lies to her boss about where she is when she's taking an afternoon off to shop at the mall, get her nails done for a party, or running her children to the dentist? Or maybe she has you doing a little extra work running errands that are home and children related for her?

This woman is a business woman. A career woman. Educated. But now that she has children she expects you to UNDERSTAND that her children should come first - well, maybe not first, but a close second. And if you don't want to? If you refuse? Why that would make you downright anti-children, right? Anti-children, UnAmerican, Unnatural.

Think about it.

Have you actually gone to the home of your boss to provide free or low cost CHILD CARE for her?

PURITY BALL : GIRLS PLEDGE TO REMAIN VIRGINS

until they are married... But what if you don't marry ever? Why is this celibacy fashionable while long term celibacy is not? LINKED TO IAFRICA article.

WHAT DO CELIBATES DO ? HE WANTED TO KNOW...

Someone recently asked me what celibates "do" sexually. The term used to mean a person who avoids sexuality, including self pleasure and fantasy. A person who would not or could not be stirred. As science gets more sophisticated we realize that medically some people have low sex drives and some have high - maybe some people have none. Let's say it's rare to get through a whole life without experiencing the body and the body contains desire, expressed or not.

I usually say that a celibate person is someone who has natural drives but who CHOOSES not to act upon it.
