I've never heard of this nefarious reason. This is so disheartening! Our race has fallen off and I have resolved in my mind that besides the few of us that are above the muck--there are more that are ensnared by evil.

I enjoy your enlightening articles of course, but I am so glad to be a proud auntie to the wonderful children on both sides of the family: me and my husband's. I don't mind being a listening ear or helping when I can(although they are grown now so I am not too involved in their life anymore) but I was was overjoyed to be with them.

Wielding a word like "auntie" as a weapon is just so disappointing! We should respect one another whether we are childless/childfree or whatever. This is out of hand!
