Well, when you say the "I was bingoed" so they're a breeder for example, I assumed that I was called breeder. It's actually quite offensive, unfair and ignorant to call a parent you know nothing about breeder don't you think? I would not offend a childfree couple, because, as explained on the other forum, I have nothing against you, I see no problem, it's your life, your choice. I can see people disagreeing on issues respectfully, but just because somebody used a line I didn't agree with or heard a million times before, doesn't give me the right to insult them with terms like breeder.
So, question, if somebody "bingoes" you on a forum, and you know nothing about them, you can call them breeder? or, bad parent? How can you judge that when nothing is known about the parent. Also, how do you determine who's a bad parent? Are you in a restaurant, mall or whatever, see a child misbehave and assume the parent is "bad" or breeder? Is it a pattern of behavior that you carefuly observe, or just use general blanket statements? I'm asking sincerely, and would appreciate a very honest answer as well.
Is the term just thrown around lightly, how do you judge, for how long, in how many circumstances (out/home, etc) and come to the conclusion. What's the "process" of coming to that conclusion?
Erm do you even know what a bingo is?
You can get bingoed by non-parents. Bingo has nothing to do with breeder so before going off on a pointless rant please get your facts straight.
Bingo is a bingo, breeder is a bad parent. See totally different.
Bingos are done by people who are ignorant of the childfree. Please look it up before making these insane accusations.
