Woman fears being 'treated like a second-class citizen' for being single and child-free

A woman has taken to Mumsnet to ask if other people see women who are single and child-free as "less than" and like a "second-class citizen".

The woman posted on the Am I Being Unreasonable page on the site to ask other parents: "Be honest: Do you think single and childfree people are less than?". The post currently has 511 replies.

Most of the replies say no, with some saying they sometimes envy single people with no children for the freedom they have. However, others with the same lifestyle have replied discussing the comments they receive.
