My parents are idiots who were against vaccines. I got the mumps as a kid and am sterile.

I grew up knowing that I would never have kids. My younger siblings got vaccinated after my near death convinced my parents that they were assholes. My parents will have grandchildren just not from me.

Other than while in school I have ended up dating single mothers. I did not go looking for those relationships. It’s just how it turned out.

I don’t know if I would have chosen to be child free of my parents hadn’t decided that for me. But I am at peace with it now.

I am LC with my parents and I prefer it that way.

I have been with my girlfriend for two years now. We are DINKS and it is pretty great with Double Income No Kids.

My youngest brother recently graduated from university and I went to see him get his diploma. He studied the same thing as me and I am proud of him.

My parents were there. I hadn’t seen them since before COVID. I was polite and introduced them to my girlfriend. They made conversation and eventually they asked her if she had kids. She said she was child free and that is why we worked so well.

My asshole parents said it was weird since I usually date women with children because I cannot have children myself.

I told them to get fucked and left.

But now my girlfriend thinks that I’m lying about being child free. Which I don’t understand. I literally will never father a child. She thinks I’m an asshole for lying to her and that I should have told her about my decision being based on my condition.

I said there was no difference between me and someone with a vasectomy.

We are still arguing but I don’t see her point.

AITA?
