I feel a need to thank the non-parents who spoke up. It's not just because they are in the group that is most likely to voice a complaint as Medb suggested (because I'm not entirely sure that is the case), but because I know that in this day and age, many parents are accused of being too permissive with their little bundles of joy, of expecting everyone else to be as excited as they are, and being completely self-centred. I want to make sure I'm not becoming one of those parents, and input from both the "don't yet have kids" and the "not ever planning to have kids" camps is very helpful in trying to avoid that fate.
Also, I appreciate all the supportive comments. I hope that this is either an indication that it *is* socially acceptable nowadays (aside form being a legally protected right) or that the kind of people I generally choose to associate with are accepting at least. I really hope it's a North-America wide acceptance and not something that ends at the border and will make me feel like a leper down here.
