Has this ever happened to anyone? I was walking from the bathroom to an

Weird. Has this happened to anyone else? It did not ruffle my feathers, I
was just surprised.

Never in the real world, but based on the occasional troll from the
childless aol boards that pop in on our due-date boards, they refer to
us as "moos" and "breeders". I got "into it" with one of them and
they've never come back, and it's been about a year. There are some
who are obviously mature and have obviously made the decision to
remain childless because they felt that was the best life decision for
them personally, but there are far more that while choosing, or at
least claiming to choose, to be childless are outright nasty to
parents, as well as children and brag about their rudeness in the real
world online. It really is rather shocking.
