It's funny. My mother has often told me how she doesn't understand how a woman wouldn't want a child, and she remains convinced that, were women all to have children, they'd understand what they were missing and be converted, etc. However, I have never heard her once say that *not* having children was a selfish decision. It's just a choice she doesn't understand.
That's as close as I've ever come to hearing that opinion.
Anyway, I am sorry that you've had to deal with that. Sometimes, people just suck.
