Another damned thing

[docwebster]

I really, really, really despise the whole "We're childfree so we're better than you. Down with chestbursters. YAY!" mentality evidenced by most of (but by no means all of) that lot.

Don't belittle the work I do, just because you've chosen not to do the same job, bitch

You had me until "bitch" - and, therin lies exactly where the "better than you" attitude comes from in many childfree people - it's because of those that don't actually "do the work" for the job they signed on for. I know many a damn fine parent doing a damn fine job raising a responsible human being, and I can also walk trough any mall on any given Saturday and for every good parent I can also find at least three suck-ass people with children in tow that are the example of bad/poor parenting as these people have not even the first clue about how to raise a child, AND aren’t even bothering to try and get any better at it. They think a child is akin to a little trophy, like a car or house that you can keep a photo of in your wallet as a status symbol to put on your desk at work, and don't realize that you have to take active participation in the growth of this human being for the next 18 YEARS (at least). That concept seems lost on more and more "parents" with each passing year.

I completely agree with you. Soon after Hanna was moved here with I grandma and her dad. He immediately took her to Walmart to show her off to strangers so they could go awe how cute around them. I just wanted to hurl.

He still goes to walmart with hanna umpteen hours a week. He says hes taking her out for fresh air but I still haven't found where walmart dispence cans of fresh air. ..

So if you know where in walmart those are sold, please tell me.
