I am single, never married, no kids. And I'm seriously tempted to start lying in future jobs about relationship status and children and saying I have both.

I used to get mad at the derision I'd experience for my life choices from others who thought I was defective. I actually view it as a sort of entertainment, now. Their bitching sustains me. What I AM sick to death of is being expected to drop my life on the assumption that my lack of a spouse/children means I am at their beck and call 24/7. And being threatened with replacement if I don't comply. As if my free time is unimportant because I use it on myself rather than sacrificing it for others. I'm so sorry I value my own free time more than slaving away for split-wages to ensure your shitty franchise makes enough to keep the precious shareholders from dropping you like the sack of turds you are.
