Breeders just want someone else to go through hell like they did. This is just another shining example of how parents don't want the best for us...they just want to look good in front of other breeders. It's all about them and what they want. This is beyond creepy. Freezing your daughter's eggs? You must have no life of your own if you are that obsessed with another adult's sex life and sex organs. :fail bitch moos, :fail

Plus the helicopter parenting of an adult child - yep that smacks of boredom all right.

So glad my parents had real lives, whatever else their shortcomings were.]]> selidororous The Living RoomTue, 15 May 2012 21:01:46 -0400 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,208012,208293#msg-208293 Re: Would-Be grandparents paying egg-freezing clinics to have grandchildren :wtfhttp://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,208012,208293#msg-208293

I've heard the "so then you can know what it's like!" and "lol you'll see what it's like dealing with a baby like you were!" and varieties of this from my mom all the time. That makes *no* sense. It's a bingo with no basis in reality.

In most cases, it is actually less of a bingo and more of a hostile, malicious wish for a person to experience something noxious.

How many parents say to their daughters that they want them to experience hand-gliding, oil painting, salsa dancing, finishing a PhD, etc., with that same desperate, almost insane, tone?

What it boils down to is a desire to exact revenge on the object of what they consider a bad experience. A child (female, mostly) should NOT get away with not suffering the same drudgery :rolleyes2

It is nothing more than jealousy and immaturity.]]> CFinPenthouse The Living RoomTue, 15 May 2012 19:37:11 -0400 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,208012,208292#msg-208292 Re: Would-Be grandparents paying egg-freezing clinics to have grandchildren :wtfhttp://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,208012,208292#msg-208292 peace-n-quiet The Living RoomTue, 15 May 2012 19:36:14 -0400 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,208012,208282#msg-208282 Re: Would-Be grandparents paying egg-freezing clinics to have grandchildren :wtfhttp://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,208012,208282#msg-208282My mom used the "so you can know what it's like!" bingo on me recently. The "actually I plan on getting sterilized when I can afford it" response made her very unhappy. Seriously, mom, be happy for my life, not for the potential doings of my uterus. lame.

1. they are bored and grandbrats are a distraction, and

2. they (especially moo) want YOU to "finally see what it's like" to succumb to a life that revolves around changing diapers, running around after brats and generally trading your awesome life for a moo's life?]]> Grace The Living RoomMon, 14 May 2012 19:19:32 -0400 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,208012,208013#msg-208013 Re: Would-Be grandparents paying egg-freezing clinics to have grandchildren :wtfhttp://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,208012,208013#msg-208013 twocents The Living RoomMon, 14 May 2012 18:16:32 -0400 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,208012,208012#msg-208012 Would-Be grandparents paying egg-freezing clinics to have grandchildren :wtfhttp://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,208012,208012#msg-208012

"Everybody wants to experience being a grandparent."

Wrong, Gloria. Stop speaking for all women.

BTW anyone else catch that fucking gargantuan oil painting of Gloria's daughter Jennifer Hayes? I'm surprised she wasn't bronzed and placed on some oversized pedestal for the photography shot.
