Ok so a guy's wife at my job recently had a baby. And my coworkers thought is would be wonderful to have a "baby gift card and item basket" and while I can smile and nod and say congrats, I would not want to afford nor wish to be included in this. So when my coworkers are coming to collect the gifts and such what would you suggest I say politely to say that I won't partake with this? What boggles my mind is that my coworkers know without a doubt that I do not believe in breeding and I find the idea of bringing kids in to this world as nothing less then torture, yet they want me to help support some kid I will probably never meet and would never choose to meet given the option. Now I specifically asked how to do this politely because I know how to be mean, but nice on the other hand is not my best suite.

Your situation gets me so angry... I totally agree with you, and the way you feel. I think that just a simple greeting card will do it. If they ask for more, just say you can't afford it. No one knows better about your finances than yourself. If things get nasty, give them a condom. That should send the message. ( I'm joking!!!)
