Moms, does it annoy you when your child-free friends do this?

This article is appalling.  There are plenty of moms who do not resent their non-mom friends, or feel they need to come up with solutions to "put up" with them to maintain the friendship.  Ridiculous.  Plus not all women want children, and this implies that until the non-moms start breeding, they'll always be inferior.  And pets are considered family to most people, including parents.

Are they talking about teen moms, with teen friends? Because none of my friends have ever acted as needy and immature as the women depicted in this article. This is ridiculous.

Oh, wah. What a ridiculous, whiny, poorly-written article. As though moms are treated as victims in today's culture. Absurd. I'm child-free by choice and happy, and I'm happy for my friends with kids. And you have no right whatsoever to say that I am less happy than you because of it. In fact, a recent study from New Zealand showed that enjoyment of sex and alcohol/partying rank higher than caring for children on a happiness index. 

who writes this garbage? The demise of real journalism right here.

This article is awful and must have been written by a truly Narcissistic individual.  It almost appears and especially the second picture and opinion concerning purchases the person would be very young say 20's. Some sort of arrested development. How terrible to be so selfish

I have shared my thoughts directly with the journalist who wrote this insulting and ignorant atrocity. Her name is Jenna McCarthy and she fancies herself quite the funny-woman:

Shame on MSN for supporting this type of borderline-discrimin​atory content.

why the HELL do you try to pit moms and non-moms against each other !!!!  this is a disgusting article 

I am a mom and this must be one of the stupidest and ridiculous articles I have ever read. 

This is the worst article I have ever read. An insult to women who are not mothers, and women who are mothers.  The author should be ashamed of herself, and may want to rethink her profession if this is the nonsense she plans to project on others, especially for women who CAN'T have children.

The slide I found most insulting was "they accuse you of being a bad friend".  What a coincidence, the entire article is accusing non-mothers of generally being bad friends.

This is actually horrible... I am a mom of a 3 and 4 year old and pregnant with my third... hardly any of this apply s to me. Yes, I love my kids, I will do everything in my power to be the best mom I can to them, but I realize that being a good mom to them is keeping my own identity as well. So, someone can call me a half hour before they leave for a movie, I say thank you for thinking of me and Daddy can play Daddy for an hour or two. After all, the kids will grow up and if I live only for them I will not be able to have a life when they obtain their own. I think children come into your life, you do not go into theirs. Therefore, there was never any shhh...ing in my house when either came. They went to bed with a clean diaper and full tummy and sometimes did cry themselves to sleep. The result, my kids come to me at bedtime, give me a kiss and hug and say goodnight. THEY put themselves to bed. People who allow a newborn or toddler make the rules only punish themselves. As far as non-mom friends go, as a mom I realize the job is NOT for everyone. I remember being a non-mom and getting made fun of at a birthday party for a gift I gave my goddaughter, I remember being completely offended and appalled at how condescending those women were to me, so I make a point not to be that way with anyone who doesn't have kids. My firend should have been appreciative that as a non mom I went to a three year olds birthday party.  I think as women we need to stop judging other women... If your a mom and have your ways great... if you do not have kids or want them cool... Being a Mom doesn't mean you have to be a martyr... or loose yourself!
