Paden pretty much said what I was going to, so I will just agree with her.
Darqstar wasn't trying to talk you into not having children, she was simply telling you what
real parents have told her. No parent I know will actually put a handkerchief on a newborns butt. With safety pins, no less. Not now that we have the option to use something else, and I don't know where you live, but having kids to "help with the farm" is kind of illegal now.
No, having a child is not a picnic, I have two of them and I can tell you every single day there is a battle. Every single day I have to remind myself just how much I love them, so I don't run away. It isnt all "June Cleaver" with aprons and well behaved children. You don't get to sleep, you have to clean
constantly unless you want to live in a pigpin, and you most certainly don't have time to have fresh baked cookies on the table every fucking day.
(Let alone have perfect hair and make up- with heels on!) Kids don't just do what you tell them too because you said it. Weekends =/= sleep and fun things. It's chores and practices and family things.
In my own experience even when my mother has my kids overnight, I still get up just because I am used to it. I still check the crib in my room, because that's what I do when he is here. You cannot just turn being a parent off, and some people are smart enough to realize that and they don't have kids.
Having kids =/= The reason to live.
Your
handle is your username, and *NEWSFLASH* it's offensive.
ETA: axelfeefe, I can only hope there aren't little clitfists reading this.
Also, I LOL'ed at Citizen Clit.
