Sorry the article upset you - those last two paragraphs really annoyed me. I read the rest mostly out of professional interest in the improved government help for parents and families, and that was all sensible enough, but the end just took the biscuit! Interestingly, parents I've spoken to about this have mostly taken the view that the 'miserable git' was a criticism of the individual Jay Rayner was talking to rather than childfree people in general, but I certainly found the implication to be more specific, and can't help thinking that a more balanced article would have left this bit out all together if he couldn't find anyone who didn't adore children but was still a fun and interesting person *rolleyes*

Re the PMT, I know that when I run two packs of pills together I often seem to get PMT-like symptoms anyway. Which is damn annoying, given that I want neither the periods nor the hormone hell, nor in fact the fertility thing. At least having a period is better than the alternative...
