Parenting is a difficult, important job, but it's not for everyone. I wish we could drop this narrative that pushes the idea that people are incomplete or worthless if they don't have kids.

You're so totally right about this. got jumped on so fast be 2 people, before they even knew my thought process. I was called selfish and self-centered.
So, me being young, and unsure of myself, I wondered for the next year if I really was selfish for not wanting kids.
Now I would just tell them to go fuck themselves, but back then I was a different person.

I like you Dragonia. That you grew into a state of mental independence, so as to tell your detractors to commit an impossible physical act....is my kind of lady.   :thumbsup:

Dragonia

^^^*blushing*   Why thank you kind sir.

As far as telling them to commit impossible physical acts, the word "fuck"  is one of my favorites, so I do try to find tasteful ways of inserting it into casual conversation. You know, when appropriate.  ;D

Yeah... I'm trying to lay off the Internet for exactly that reason. The things my artificial lens enhanced eyes have seen, which they may never un-see... Yukc!  ;)

Ha, the only thing that is going through my mind now is the Christian song "I Can Only Imagine". I bet this kind of imagining isn't what the author had in mind as a music video.....
Both of you.... ?? I'm just not even going to ask. I guess that's what the internet is for :o

Yep.  ;D

The Internet has created demands, which previously were too fringe/niche to supply, be it for profit of monetary kind, fame and glory or just for the lulz. That is an inescapable result of bringing relatively free people together, and, in turn, the inescapable result of that is... Swirling orifices. Hashtag backinmyday...


...Nah, broadly, I don't mind.  ;)

Hey, whatever floats your boat. Just as long as you don't dock it in my harbor.

Asmodean

The Asmo, He finds the use of the word "dock" somewhat... Suspect. :headscratch:

In fact, He suspects some sort of an ungodly sodomy reference, is what He does.







...and He approves.  :smilenod:

It was a rejection of ungodly sodomy.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Parenthood to me would be a blessing. because helping children support us in life would be great. I wish i could have kids, i can its just my busy work ethic compromises on not having a a family. But i helped my younger siblings grow and form the people they are today. I believe good parenting is a bonding process which we learn and help each other to grow and develop as people and as a family. Its Gods design for families to exist. Nature also has family ethics.
