Magnayn: Of COURSE it's exclusionary. This is a post about parenthood and children. Why in the world are you looking for ways to directly apply it to your (consciously and deliberately) childless self? The sentence "It's difficult to explain children to people who don't yet have children" is talking about people who will have children in the future. Clearly that isn't you. It doesn't say that no other types of people exist in the world. Obviously you exist. But this post isn't for you. Move along politely and find something that is. Jeff: Congrats! Welcome to a new part of your life that you didn't know existed, and soon you will wonder how you ever lived without.
