Don't call my name, don't call my name

[Rubyn]

I find myself (in my REGULAR life) having to make excuses nearly daily as to why I don't have children. Does it make me feel weird or less a woman? No. I feel like a response human being. I'm not kidding. If I had kids, I don't know how I could let them out of my sight, especially in Florida, which seems to be the home of child killers.

Woah, I was drunker 'n a skunk when I wrote that last night. I now know how the drunkies here feel when they are misspelling words and looking the fool.

Now that I'm a part of the Mommy Brigade, I've learned that chastising those who choose to remain childless seems to be a common trait shared by a lot of parents. I really think people do it as a way to justify their choice to have children themselves. That and it seems to be a part of human nature to want to see others suffer as you are.

Don't get me wrong - I obviously love my son and there are probably 10 times a day that I thank my lucky stars for having him in my life. But anyone with an even somewhat analytical mind would not classify having children as a +EV proposition.

I think you are absolutely right. Having children and being a good parent are two completely different things. Society is pretty messed up for many reasons, one of which being people have children who don't really want children. So their selfish needs come before those of the child. Neglected children grow up to be fucked up adults. That's my opinion, of course. I always feel like I have to say that here. Here being gamelive.

Completely agree with you Robyn! MrsM and I when out sometimes and see 2 lowlifes that can barely fend for themselves dragging around little ones and say, these people should not be allowed to have kids. Really is sad! Kids have no clue like you said when grown up. Your just telling it like it is!

Personally, I don't want kids because I wouldn't want them to endure the society that we live in. Life isn't gonna get any easier. This Earth can only sustain so many humans. Look at how many more problems our generations face compared to the generations before us.

Always think the same way. How do we grow enough produce and then dispose of all the waste? Too crowded indeed!
