honestly i think id be completely frazzled knowing another human living being would be reliant on me. i guess people learn to adapt. sometimes people dont, like that idiot teenager who was arrested last week for shaking her baby to death.
I am sorry if that’s how I came across. I only speak for myself. And I responded only because Jessi said that she wouldn’t have children unless she had tons of money.
Nope…mine kept on smoking all through 5 preganancies. She may not have drank as much, maybe very little but not from what I saw. Second hand smoke, fuggedaboutit.
I loved your comment about subsisting on Dorals and vodka the first nine months of your life!!!!! Sorry if you didn’t want that brought up again.
“But for me personally, I feel incredibly grateful when I realize how close I came to missing out on the most profound, loving and most meaningful experience of my life.”
Very cool, PS. Maybe part of it is because my mom and I aren’t that close. Not for any particular reason, I don’t think. I was told by a friend she’s not very warm.
I hope you people with kids don’t take offense but I find plenty of amazing, profound and meaningful things in life despite not having any. Life is what you make it, and I have to say, I have been in too many conversations where a childless life is made to sound second rate or wanting or somehow less. I’m happy for people who have kids- G-d knows I love kids- and if having a child makes your life complete, have one. Have a hundred. But please don’t make it sound like those of us who are childless, whether or not by choice, somehow don’t have lives as rich or full or meaningful.
I don’t have any food allergies. My mother smoked during her pregnancy with me and I ate a black cherry Drakes cake tart with a Cherry coke every day after school for years — pure sugar — paid for by my rich Chinese classmate. We didn’t eat any garbage food at home, mostly because it was too expensive. She bought real food, if you count Cap’n Crunch, Chips Ahoy, hot dogs and Velvetta. Most of it was real food and no soda.
I’m not sure how old I was the first time I had McDinalds…probably in my teens when we rode bikes over to get them.
Although the canned peas that were cooked until they were gray offered no nutritional value, I think we ate well as kids.
“According to a new study, popular people tend to catch the flu first.” —– No reason for me to have flu shot then.
DeLepp- so that explains it 😉
