And I Thought Children Were Scary...

[perzephone]

Sometimes it's the parents. This is possibly the most fucked up thing I've ever read, and I would love to sit here & come up w/a snappy comeback for each of the reasons, but I need to go to bed. I found it on a site that has a 'Child-Free Bingo card' that has all the things people say to someone who is happily without children, things like, "Oh, you must have had a horrible childhood" or "Don't you think you're being selfish?" or "It's different when it's yours". We've got a pretty lively discussion going on in the pagan forum about it, which is the only reason it was on mah mind. My biological clock barks & hisses, it doesn't tick. Sometimes it whinnies.

The only reason I'm up right now is because I'm trying to get an Autumnal dragon egg. So far my efforts have not been rewarded, but I did get a second silver :)

Geez..I ended having as many kids as I did for love..for hormone's sake..for liking to have sex..stuff like this makes me scared for young impressionable women.. @.@

The one that cracks me up the most is this one: My children help me surrender the selfish desires of my flesh. - I think whoever wrote this needs some education on how babies are made in the first place. :P
