I really don't think the person meant anyone with kids is not professional, but just the fact that they have no title at home past possibly husband or wife. Assuming all single people are noisy is judgmental, the single mother thing is getting old and I'm not the only one who feels this, and the "weren't you a kid" argument is ill-supported (who chooses to be born, seriously?) and quite childish, actually. And the suggestion that anyone who doesn't want to be around kids shouldn't consider apartment living is a bit odd. If anyone needs a smaller space it's a single person or couple and if anyone needs a bigger space (i.e. a house) it's a family.

And perhaps people who don't have kids are quite aware of how difficult it is and therefore do not have any. Perhaps they have the foresight of their own life's expectations and avoid possibly turning into one of those parents who can't control their children who use all sorts of excuses to why they can't behave.

Families get all sorts of perks via business and even more unspoken, unwritten societal perks and don't even realize it. These perks are bad enough but I think any "professional couple" or single person would agree that they could let those slide if kids were just better behaved. This has been annoying for a while but we're only beginning to hear the childless couples/single persons speak up because frankly, we've had enough.

And really, the bottom line is that no one wants a lot of noise where they live no matter who it comes from.
