I remember years ago when my friend's brats kids were little. The couple times she brought them here for our parties she seemed put out that I didn't have 'kid friendly' food and drink for them. One time she asked what kind of 'kid friendly' drinks I have and I told her we have pop. She kind of curled her mouth in disgust and moaned and shook her head. I told her that other than alcohol that's all we had (I certainly wasn't going to offer our morning orange juice or Crystal Light drink mix). So she asked for water, which she got. Then she asked what kind of kid friendly snacks I had. I pointed to the table of snacks & hors d'oeuvres and said that was it. Then she wanted some activities for the kids to do. I was like WTF. So I dug out some old broken crayons and overly-scribbled coloring books that I still had stashed away from when my nieces were little. Then at my surprise 40th birthday party, she had asked DH what kind of kid friendly drink he had for the kids. He told her there was pop. She responded very indignantly with "My children don't drink pop". DH told her "Well I guess there's water then" and gestured to the faucet and turned away and left her to get water from the faucet. (This happened before I got there; DH told me about it). What did she fucking expect - that we would be stocked up on Juicy-juices and Goldfish crackers? As if. We spend enough money on our parties; I'm not going to spend more on fucking kid crap.

Wow, that is some crazy bullshit! Andy's blog is full of nonsense to the nth degree. As juliewashere88 points out, for a person so concerned with detailing the various forms of oppression (ageism, able-ism, racism, etc.), ze seems to forget entirely about speciesism. The comfort and well-being of my pets, who are members of my family and live in my home, will always trump any (purely theoretical) concern I might have for the safety of a (again, purely theoretical) visiting feral brat. Also, like marco polo says, the whole "it's anti-woman to be anti-child" argument is totally sexist because it assumes that all women, because of our sex, want to breed and/or perform childcare duties. No fucking thank you!

ok, two can play that game. some rules for when i come over to your house:- i prefer chilled sangria in the summertime, hot coffee with bailey's in winter (whipped cream optional) - i really love a good fire, so if you have a fireplace i expect there to be a roaring fire in the fall - i enjoy classical music, so i would appreciate it if you have that on in the background; no lady gaga. - i am allergic to most soap, so please have some nice hypoallergenic hand soap in your bath for me; i prefer lavender soap but will settle for oatmeal - i do not eat meat so make sure there is NO meat in your home when i am there - i will, of course, bring my dogs, so make certain you have lots of treats for them. please make sure all breakable items are not in reach of their tails. do not even think of asking me to leave them at home - if mr. minkoff is with me please provide him with snacks and some form of beer, preferably belgian ale - if i come over on a sunday night, please be advised we will be watching mad men; do not speak while it is on

And you are still friends with this person why? I'm not trying to be mean to you...I just don't like to see breeders being rewarded for being assholes.

holy cow. We have a couple of PNB friends and a sister with a small kid. I firmly inform them (and remind them everytime they come over) that the house is not childproofed and that chemicals, medications, etc may be within reach. They all say "no problem, we would not expect your house to be childproofed" and then make the effort to watch the kid so it doesn't a) get into anything that would harm it and b) fuck up my nice house and child-free furniture I would prefer not to have kids in the house at all, ever, but that's not always an option when dealing with husband's family members. Also, I don't see any difference between dogs and kids. Both have specific needs and you should always ask before taking either over to someone else's house, and bring your own food, toys, etc as needed. Neither should be allowed to climb on the furniture or pee on the carpet.

Breeders will twist anything around to make something a personal attack on them and their kids. I once made a comment in a music forum about a father complaining about how much he had to pay for Miley Cyrus tickets. He said he spent 2-3000$ on the event and how he was a sucker and parents had to buy these tickers and all this crap. My comments were about instead of spending this obscene amount of money on a fad, take the kids to more intimate and inexpensive or free shows where they could have bonding moments. No big thing, right? A couple acted like I told them to lock their kids in the attic. I was advocating better parenting and still got slammed!

I don't have to buy kindercrap or childproof my house. I don't let kids in my house at all.
I'm probably in the minority here, but my parents didn't even childproof our own house! The electrical outlets weren't plugged up, the cabinets weren't locked, the liquor was kept out where anyone could get it(the house had a wet bar), and we never had problems.
We also had cable TV with no parental controls on it in the privacy of our bedrooms. My parents also had some books about the occult. Same thing, we had no problems at all. I just don't get why the world needs to be bubblewrapped and censored for kids.
I think the only person to even remotely child proof their house was my great aunt and that was putting those plastic protectors in her outlets. There were guns, tools, fishing equipment, ammunition, fish heads, feral cats, etc. at one of my grandparents' s houses. Nobody childproofed their houses in the 70's...

LOL I know. But she's been one of my best friends for over 30 years. I have a have a relationship with her, not her kids. She and I - when time permits - occasionally meet for coffee and/or lunch. She's my friend, her kids aren't. And trust me I don't reward her in any way - hence me never once inviting her to bring the kids over to swim

For an early Easter gift my husband gave me a big lavender bunny. I've had this thing for two weeks and I'm still amazed at the love I feel for this bunny. When I go into stores, restaurants, peoples' homes and various other places, I expect every consideration to be made for this bunny. At dinner I expect Lavender Bunny (LB for short), to sit at the head of the table and be offered the finest cuts of meat. Out in public I expect everyone to admire LB and go out of their way to give LB the consideration I feel he's due. At a movie theater I expect LB to be given handicapped parking and handicapped seating. He will also be first in line at the snack bar. LB should get his popcorn and soda before anyone else does. In motels I will expect housekeeping to go out of their way to take care of LB and tell him how adorable he is while they're at it. If anyone visit my home I expect them to visit with LB first. The above line of total crap is more likely to get me Baker Acted than anything else. Replace LB with sprog and the average breeder doesn't sound any more intelligent

So he was bitching about his own inability to spend money wisely as if it was everyone else's fault? What a dumbass.

Here's a good way to child-proof the house. Take an empty, cleaned-out Windex bottle. Fill it with some kind of blue Kool-Aid or sugary blue juice. Give it to any kid brought to your house and tell him/her to drink it, especially in front of the kid's parents. An ER trip and force-feeding of charcoal later only to find out Junior was in no danger, Moo and Duh will NEVER bring the fucker back again.  .

Because don't we have to do our part to make the economy better and create more jobs? We have to buy all this stuff so that the breeders at Wal Mart have jobs.!
