i think that if someone is legit mad because you don't have kids, then it's not that you don't have kids, it's that your extra time and money aren't thrown out the window, and their "it's SoOoOoOo worth it, though!!!" is replied to with "of course it is! drinks after work? no? maybe over the weekend? no? just let us know, i guess..."

I'll take spending time with my god-kids (god-children?) than go out with my team members. They're good people, but my relation with them is much less intimate and stable.
