I was a really quiet kid and had an obsession with animals. I think I whined every so often but my mom was a good mother in keeping me in line. She wasn't authoritative, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't punish me if I did something bad. I think people forget that kids, especially young kids, are the subject to their parents up-bringing (or just up-bringing in general). I was raised by my mother, father, and grandmother's, who all taught me different things. Now I say this but honestly my life wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, but I'm 22 and I have to say I'm happy the way I came out. Though I will say the way this generation is and how adults treat there kids, I've always debated about if I want kids or not.
this one. I agree with. Most of my friends....Im talking 95% had kids at 18. so now Im 22, when i wanna go out and have fun, I cant. its always I gotta find a babysitter or they have no money cause they went diaper shopping. Its quite depressing. thats all i hear now. is baby that and this. What happened to the youth today? instead of 21st birthdays its baby showers. I honestly cant take it anymore. Its a sad generation. and the youngins that have babies are "so happy" dude Id be shitting a brick and crying for the next 9 months! I'm glad I didnt fuck up and have a kid. and for the rest of the reasons. YEah most kids are brats, but look at whose raising them. Kids, themselves. My kid would not be spoiled. will learn the word no. Have no insane connection to technology. Old school parenting, baby.
I have 4 kids and I agree with every bit of this (except the murder part, lol). I love them and I am a really good mother, not by just my own standards but many other parents, friends and family members always tell me what a wonderful mother I am, but I am exhausted..ehem...EXHAUSTED! They wear me out, they wear my car out, they wear my bank account out, they wear my patience out, I literally believe I need medicated. I am envious of my childless friends, with all their freedom, and sanity and they are able to concentrate (which is impossible with kids) on their love lives, their education, their futures, their bills, their pets, their relationships, their toenails for crying out loud I havent shaved my legs in a week because I havent had time. What is that?! TIME to shave my legs, it doesnt take long but they suck every free minute I have. Im ranting right now, I have had another persons kid over for 2 days now and she is the most shit starting, selfish, wont let me sleep at 3am brat I have ever met in my life, she makes me believe in spanking and even want to try it out! I am about to take a vacation to the beach for 3 days and the only thing I am excited about is taking a nap, not hearing my own voice and laying on the beach without doing a head count every 3 and a half seconds.
I agree with all this and was happy to find someone to finally say it. I had a kid grab my nuts and squeeze as hard as he could just yesterday, he found it quite hysterical!
Best thing ever happened to me. I single-parented all 3 of mine.(still do). Got 'em up and got 'em ready for school,made 'em breakfasts,drove'em to the bus. Then either went to work,looked for work or cleaned the house as necessary. Later,stopped work,picked up the kids,took one to T-ball one direction,another to soccer another direction,maybe went shopping for supper,picked the kids up,fixed 'em supper,helped 'em with their homework(if necessary), played with 'em,read to 'em in bed,talked to 'em 'till they went night-night-----then,and only then could I relax and maybe have a smoke, relax for a few hours,go to bed and get up the next day to do it all over again. Hell,you can't beat it if you love and respect your kids and they love and respect you. Every man ought to have some single-parent experience. You learn a lot about kids and for damn sure a lot about yourself!!! Whiners shouldn't have kids. I have to add that sure--I felt like Linda Blair sometimes-like my head was spinning around in circles. But you just git'er done.
I think that is how I feel today, like Linda Blair, Im normally all-pro parenting but with a lack of sleep and rain for two days, they have been stuck in the house with nothing to do but fight and make a mess.
It can get downright crazy sometimes,no doubt. 4 stuck in the house will test you big time,eh? Mine are grown now sooooooooo--
