flexagonJust got a letter from editor bear that really underscores a difference in how we see life. Ugh... what a mindless breeder he really is. Enter babies stage left, exit all rational thought stage right. But if he wants to have a huge family (which he really can't afford, and admits will be a problem come college-time even if it isn't before, and admits is a shitty thing to do to the environment) and justify it all by saying he "loves his kids", well, it's hard to watch but there's nothing I can do about it . His letter was in a response to a letter from me asking WHY... for the love of god, why? So I told him I would mind my own business... and I am... as it happens I have a pre-op appointment for my Essure procedure set up as of today, though I didn't mention that part. God, it's just so hard to watch someone truly fucking up. If he and his lady bear could give their kids a good life that'd be one thing, but, frankly, at this point the little slugs are doomed to not having much for money or for role models. :(
(And: yes, I keep this LJ precisely so I can say things that judgemental about people. Thanks for asking. And: the comment link is right there if you just have to say something about money not being the only thing you need to raise a child and blah blah blah. Go for it. It's all you.)
Life proceeds apace. A fast pace. I worked 10 hrs yesterday with no breaks, and I guess 9-ish today, although today I sat outside at lunch and made my phone call. Tomorrow's another ultramarathon day thanks to Dale Carnegie... in which, by the way, the students are coming along so well now it's totally heartwarming, and I actually can't wait to see them. Wednesdays do come around with such brutal regularity though. Thud. Thud. Thud.
Lastly, I'm reading The Golden Transcendence, third in a trilogy by John Wright. So psyched to be reading something I know will have a glorious and heroic ending... ahhhh. :) I've had experiences with way too many first-of-a-series, middle-of-a-series and tragic books lately.

Re: Mommy responds....
Date: 2004-08-19 03:35 am (UTC)I worry though. If people who don't care have tons and tons of kids, and people who do care have none...what balance shifts will occur in our society as a result?:)
Re: Mommy responds....
Date: 2004-08-21 05:35 am (UTC)I do think the burden of children should be spread more fairly across society though. I'm not one of those childfree whiners who don't want to pay for other kids' education and so on, and I've seen the inequalities between rich kids and poor kids. I don't think society's ready to take all the kids away from all the moms so they can be raised in a more equal way, but you know, if I were dictator there would be days that would tempt me. In the meantime, I pay my taxes. :)
