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.
See, that I can deal with. It's the ones who ponce about with their noses in their air sneering at those who do have children who can go and get stuffed.
(I've been watching Ground Force all afternoon so my speech is getting all British.)
Oh to be child free. That would be nice. I'm taking care of my cousin whos mother doesn't want to be a mother and ditched her and father who has the mentality of a 14 year old who thinks he can do anything he wants. And ditches his daughter on his mother doing nothing fuctional for the kid but taking her to day care.. and eventually back after they spend umpteen hours with his girlfriend.
He suddenly slaps, I'm going to a rock concert, you take care of the kid. Then the I never do anything argument/speech. He does a hell alot more than I and Grandmother do.
He doesn't do shit and if he worries about his little girl, Hanna at all its about her looks. If she has a bruise, he points it out. He always points out her "pudge" that shes supposed to have but he believes shes fat.
One time after she got her hair cut he told her that she wasn't beautiful because her hair was short and if she wanted to be beautiful she needed to grow her hair out like Beka (her best friend).
Now isn't that a turn down? The main reason he hair does get shortened is because she has a very sensitive head, its only to her sholders its not like a pixie cut.
To be honest, watching my Aunt Sharon and Uncle Marc parading with no kids dangling behind them, I'd really yearn for that. You would probably want to stuff them.
They get to go to BMW convensions, they can stay out all night together at some sort of wine event or go on any ship cruise they like.. That would be heaven.
But my uncle fucked that one up for me. Well at least I'm 23 and Hanna's 4. I didn't even give birth to her.
