I think a conversation we need to have is how deliberately single people show up and support their married friends and family and also for baby showers and babies as well. Yet they themselves are never shown the same support outside of like graduations or birthdays.

It is a society thing that people were supported through important life events like marriage or having a baby. But for those who choose to be single & childless, there are rarely ever times for people to come together & celebrate the person in their singleness & childlessness.

Maybe it is why many single people & childless people by choice may grow to resent the responsibilities & the financial demands placed on them yet they do not recieve the same support.Just because they have chosen to be single and/or childless doesn't mean they don't need support

When was the last time you organized to just go visit a single & childless friend or family member? Just for support. Rarely? Never? Yet they are expected to always show up for wedding committees & baby showers and contribute but they never even get a event to just celebrate them

I really like this one. An Open Letter to My Friends Who Don't Have Kids https://www.huffpost.com/entry/an-open-letter-to-my-friends-who-dont-have-kids_b_5823776?utm_campaign=share_twitter&ncid=engmodushpmg00000004 via @huffpostparents

Will try to see if we can do a post on ways to support your single and childless sibling or friend throughout their lives.
