Hi Friendly Forum People. Feeling a bit down tonight and just looking to get some thoughts out of my head. In a meeting at work the conversation turned to the latest movie in the theaters. My coworker wanted to know - for those people who have children - how was the movie. Seeing as I was the only person in the room without kids (and they all know this), it hurt a bit. Not because I don't have kids (I don't want any) but because it made me feel like less of a human - I was excluded from the conversation, my opinion not being valid, because of the life choice I made. I'm sure she didn't not mean it that way but I still felt a bit of a sting from her wording. And, no, she wasn't asking how the kids reacted to the movie - only the "parents." Of course, it's just salt in the wound at the end of the day when you have no one to share in the crappiness of it.
Now I know that this really is minor in the grand scheme of life but sometimes stupid things just hit the right spot and it makes me feel horrible. And as my mind goes, I get to thinking that I am pretty much the only person in the office without a partner which just makes it even more depressing. Anyway, thanks for listening.
