Moomie Meltdown In 3..2..

Alright.. I posted something on this thing on Facebook. It was basically a bunch of mommies yakking about Childfree griping. I decided to share my thoughts.

http://www.facebook.com/BabbleEditors/posts/504390696254854

And yes, I threw in some antinatalist philosophy just to spice it up. Now, I actually believe these things that I wrote. It's not trolling the page, just saying what I feel. It's fun to watch a stampede every now and again. It's the running of the cows!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So.. We know that food and water are running out, with overpopulation and all... Yet people keep on poppin' out those babies! I guess they want to have their baby and eat it too...

My top reason is that parenting gives you a free license to be selfish based purely on the fact that you're being selfish for an emanation of your own self. The illusion that what you do to benefit your children benefits them solely is a fallacy. Every parent benefits from the benefits that their children receive. Henceforth, it gives one a license to perpetuate a dog-eat-dog mentality that I perceive to be amoral. Parents say that their children are their greatest loves, what they forget to add is that they are their ONLY loves and only because their children are a reflection of themselves. I prefer to be able to love multiple people and have lasting relationships of many types and possess the essential core value of empathy for all than to restrict myself to an echo chamber of ego-masturbation and self-serving chicanery.

In short: Not parenting makes you a better person.

It's a veritable Bingo Tournament!!! eyes2

I was just scan reading as the text is kinda small - I did notice many of the usual bingos and cliches - such as the ones that seem most passionate and in lurve with their Little Ones tend to have Little Mans.

Here's one that I found slightly memorable, in a nauseatingly irritating kinda way ~

As far as you nonparents saying you have all this "experience" from babysitting or daycare or nannying or whatever, go blow it up someone else's chimney. I worked in childcare for ten years BEFORE I had my first child. Now I have four kids and I realize all that "experience" and education was NOTHING. It doesn't teach you how it breaks your heart into pieces with a physical pain when you have to smack that baby's hand for sticking his finger in a socket. It doesn't teach you how you will lie awake night after night wondering if your doing it right. It doesn't teach you how overwhelming but rewarding it is to hold these little lives on your hands and heart. YOU are on charge of how these tiny people grow up. lt all reflects on you. It's scatter and amazing and wonderful and I pity childless people. I'm definitely not jealous of them. That's ridiculous. So take your "experience" and shove it and keep your lame out-of-a-book advice to yourself.

Thanks for pitying me eyes2 The only smoke and chimneys I bother with would be either my fireplace or a bong. So. I am thinking of getting a wood stove or one of those out door fire pits. I can't decide. It's all such a pity, boo hoo.

Fuck smacking the hand away! If your brat has any brains whatsoever, it'll do it once and never do it again!

Stampede is right! JCWTFBBQ!

Master Of Anti-brat
Excuses!

Well, not surprisingly, a whole bunch of moo-cows who blather on about how they're going to do whatever they want and let junior ruin everyone else's time, because somehow it's their 'right'.

If it wasn't so ignorant, I would actually laugh at the mooron who commented about how she's going to drag her kyds everywhere and unless you're paying for it then you can STFU. Guess what, moo cow? If I go to a restaurant or a movie, or even grocery shopping, I damn well am paying for it.

Would it be okay, if on my next shopping trip, I just screamed my whole trip through the store? I'll bet moomie would want me to stfu or take it outside. But, she and her kyd are somehow exempt.

This pigs are so discourteous. If I go out to eat, part of what I am paying for is the ambiance. I am not paying to see someone change a dirty diaper on a table, listen to non-stop squalling, or watch some kyd run all over the restaurant. So sit your kyd down and stfu. And if he has to disrupt everyone else's time, then yes take him the fuck outside.

These bitches keep talking about junior's 'right' to be wherever. Well guess what asshole? It's our right to be there as well. Junior is only more important to you, no one else elevates him to ass-kissing status.

This mooh is harbouring under the misconception that I CARE about those experiences. Believe me, I don't. There are a lot of experiences that I don't WANT to have, notably:

- The experience of being on fire
- The experience of "breaking my heart to piece smaking my -idiotic- kid hands away from socket"
- The experience of a broken leg
- The experience of making a "little tiny people grow up"
- Etc etc etc

“I was talking about children that have not been properly house-trained. Left to their own impulses and indulged by doting or careless parents almost all children are yahoos. Loud, selfish, cruel, unaffectionate, jealous, perpetually striving for attention, empty-headed, for ever prating or if words fail them simply bawling, their voices grown huge from daily practice: the very worst company in the world. But what I dislike even more than the natural child is the affected child, the hulking oaf of seven or eight that skips heavily about with her hands dangling in front of her -- a little squirrel or bunny-rabbit -- and prattling away in a baby's voice.”

What I notice is that the differences between being in childcare and parenting were overwhelmingly suggesting that parenting is more stressful and unpleasant. If I don't enjoy the experience of childcare, I'm hardly going to enjoy the add-ons of parenthood. :drool

It doesn't teach you how overwhelming but rewarding it is to hold these little lives on your hands and heart. YOU are on charge of how these tiny people grow up.

I don't feel the need to play god here on earth. If that makes your existence more bearable, enjoy.

"[GFG's pregnancy is] kind of like at the stables where that one dumb, ugly-ass mare broke out of her corral one day and got herself screwed by the equally fugly colt that was due to be gelded the same afternoon."- Shiny

When I read the original article, it was not written in any way as being mean-spirited or anything of the sort. Like the blogger said that while some people are willing to help, parunts are not entitled to expect it and then bitch about it if the person doesn't. What's wrong with that? It would be nice if every time you went through a door,t he person in front of you would hold it, but it doesn't always happen. In most cases, if you are struggling with packages and whatnot, someone will.

One time I was at SquallMart to get some groceries. The clerk had overpacked the bag and it broke when I was transferring them to my trunk. A woman who had been walking by picked up a few items and handed them to me. Should I have scolded anyone who didn't do the same? Of should I have been grateful for that someone who did lend a hand? Obviously, I chose option B. Moomies would apparently think that everyone in the vicinity should've dropped what they were doing and run to help, otherwise they were assholes.

In the "not helping" example, the blogger used an example of a moomie who was upset because a fellow airline passenger would not entertain her child. As the blogger said, perhaps that passenger wanted to sleep, read, do some business-related paperwork, etc. It is not rude for a person to want to do what they want/need to do on flight, rather than babysitting. If a parunt doesn't get that each individual person has their own things to deal with, then they are beyond hope. Baybee doesn't trump everything else, unless it's your baybee, and even then, some things should get priority, like work.

I always love the comment about, "you're missing out". A commenter to the original blog post had it right. She said she would never fly to the moon or, win an Olympic medal, or do brain surgery. And so, she would never know how that feels. So, is she missing out on that? Is her life incomplete because of that? Should astronauts and brain surgeons berate her for not doing what they did and pity her for it?

Different experiences are enriching for different people. Moomies can't understand that. Well, some seem to on that post; the ones whose whole lives are not wrapped up in the chyldren.

Those women who declare "my child is my life" or better, "my world". Really? Your whole world? And that right there is the problem. Your child is not the "whole world" to well, the whole world. He is one of 7 billion people on this planet, no more important than the next person.

Being a parent is way more important than not. Its the toughest job you can have. So too all you Non parents SHUT Up


And for this, the cow received 9 "likes". Morons. All morons.

What the comments don't say is that in this day and age people are afraid to help out. In the past I've tried to be helpful and gotten my head bitten off by moo cunt. I've had that happen to me and I've seen it happen to other people. Help a lost kid? Keep a kid from getting in the street? Prepare to get bitched at by moo cunt for being decent. There was only one time in my life I didn't get screamed at for showing concern.

If I didn't have to comment through Facebook I would say the same thing in the comments section.

The only "help" these moos want from the village is the $$$ via tax breaks. So yeah, I'll criticize all I want. I can't stand the idea that just because I'm not a moo I have no right to comment. Well, I do understand decent human behavior, and I can tell the difference between right and wrong. They seem to think they know it all, why can't I?

Well, not surprisingly, a whole bunch of moo-cows who blather on about how they're going to do whatever they want and let junior ruin everyone else's time, because somehow it's their 'right'.

I notice that the responders that are expressing this viewpoint tend to have the worst grammar and spelling. That speaks volumes.

I think this response neatly sums up the crux of the problem with modern parenting:

Quote

I am surprised at all the parents who expect perfect behavior from children. Non-parents I understand because they haven't had the glorious experience of a royal shitfit in the middle of the grocery store. And even the parents are looking at it from the perspective of "well MY kid would NEVER act like that". You are making the assumptions that A)That parent hasn't tried everything in their arsenal to diffuse the situation. If you have to get groceries and have no help to watch the child, what are you supposed to do? Continue shopping of course. That child is just like yours. Has anyone considered that maybe that child is special needs? Severely ADHD? Sensory disorder? Autistic? Maybe that tantrum is unavoidable and there is very little the parent can do. Same scenario: mom has nobody to watch their special needs child and HAS to get groceries. That child throws a fit. Strangers glare (even those with kids) and make nasty comments. That poor mom!! Would it kill people to have a little compassion?!? A reassuring little smile from stranger instead of a snarl could make all the difference in someone's world. And common freakin' curtesy should be extended to EVERYONE not just those with kids. Hold doors open for the next person regardless of their age, number of children, color of skin, gender or disabilities. If you are an able bodied adult, always give up your seat on public transportation to the elderly, pregnant women, disabled, women with children and anyone who just looks like they need to sit down more than you do.

What if I have a sensory disorder? Where is the compassion for me? Breeders only ever want the compassion to flow in one direction.

gnarler: What if I have a sensory disorder? Where is the compassion for me? Breeders only ever want the compassion to flow in one direction.

Ding ding ding!!! Thank you for putting this so well.

That is something that I've often thought. What about people who suffer with migraines, MI and anxiety disorders, like I do? What are we supposed to do when some little bastard starts screaming its head off for no apparent reason? What if it triggers a migraine, sensory problem or panic attack in someone else? Are they just supposed to STFU and deal with it?

If parents want to run off at the mouth about age discrimination, they've got it! It only seems that people under the age of 12 seem to matter at all to these worthless twats.

Yah, they seem to forget their crotchfruit are going to grow up to be adults, and are going to have sensory problems then just as now. Amazing how short their thought process travels.

I don't know if I have a sensory disorder or not. I do have vasovagal syncope episodes from time to time, caused by certain physical sensations. I am also greatly bothered by extremely bright lights, flashing lights, high pitched, erratic squealing sounds, high humidity and stinky sour or rotting smells. Some soiled brat turned around in the booth in a restaurant, breathing on the back of my neck and screaming/squawking at the top of its voice fits pretty much all of those. I expect parents to take control of their brats and not allow them to annoy me or other patrons. But apparently the parents don't have the same opinions. They think I'm the evil one because I can't stand their bawling, ice cream covered, wet little beasts.

Moo will be singing a different tune when her "tiny people" are lazy adults who refuse to work, keep hitting her up for money, and when she's too old to bother with, throw her in a nursing home and not see her for months on end unless, of course, they want money.

I was sitting in what was supposed to be a nice restaurant with Hubby one evening and some brat behind me decides to start babbling in my ear. What if I had been a psycho??? What if I had done what I really wanted to do and thrown my water glass in Shitleigh's face??? Would it's breeders have been understanding if I had done that??? What if I'M autistic??? The average breeder would tell me I should "learn to get along." I think the average breeder should take it's own advice and keep their hell spawn home until it learns to do exactly what they're suggesting.

I also have a confession to make. That last time I sat and laughed while a breeder was being escorted from a restaurant I wasn't the one to get them thrown out. The one who got them tossed was a moo of three in a corner booth keeping her own spawn quiet and she didn't want to be painted with the same brush. All I had to do is sit back and laugh. Yes, I did laugh. So did other patrons. It was so much fun to see moo being forced to deal with her spawn for what is probably the first time in their lives.

Hint for the lurking breeders: Other breeders often hate you just as much as I do.

"I don't care if a parent thinks I'm an idiot because I don't know how to deal with kid problems. Believe me, I DO NOT want to be experienced in kid problems, hence my not having any. I know autism exists, and my not having kids ensures that I (and my child) can escape that pain and frustration. I know that changing diapers sucks, and that's ok because ill never have to do it. A parent telling me 'You don't get it' is like someone telling me that I'm not part of their club, which is an awesome thing to hear. I'll tell you why.

"I love my full nights of sleep and being able to do anything I want, whenever I want. I also enjoy having money, the time to volunteer for women's rights, the time to pursue an education and the ability to spend time with my loved ones and best friends. This I do not regret, and no.. I won't change my mind. I'm far too happy with the mind I have now. When I really think about it, I'm the best parent there is. My child would never be hungry, be poor, be stressed out about life's problems, or have the ability to ruin their lives. They will never know what dying feels like. They will never know the definition of war, racism, murder, or taxes (LOL). All your kids will. I feel that my lifestyle is my reward for the compassion I felt towards my child to forego the selfish act of giving birth to them and casting on them the burden of living. People who don't exist worry about A LOT less than the ones who do exist. That's even in the bible! Ecclesiastes 4:1-3 if you're interested. Hate me if you want, but that's the way it is."


So I looked up Ecclesiastes 4.

New International Version (NIV)
Oppression, Toil, Friendlessness

4 Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun:

I saw the tears of the oppressed—
and they have no comforter;
power was on the side of their oppressors—
and they have no comforter.
2 And I declared that the dead,
who had already died,
are happier than the living,
who are still alive.
3 But better than both
is the one who has never been born,
who has not seen the evil
that is done under the sun.

A moo and two brats under age ten. I'm guessing on ages. The spawn were yelling, screaming and having a food fight while moo is on her phone and oblivious. Manager walks out of his office and tells moo "I've called the cops for unattended children. I wonder if you can be gone before they get here." Moo paid her bill, took the spawn and left but gave everyone dirty looks and a few words as she did. I don't remember what she said. For the most part they left quietly. That was the part that surprised me.

They're all mama bear until consequences comes into the picture. Too bad all the children know is the acting out part and not that there is consequences for your actions.

And many parents face Hosea 10:8

Hosea 10:8

New International Version (NIV)

8 The high places of wickedness[a] will be destroyed—
it is the sin of Israel.
Thorns and thistles will grow up
and cover their altars.
Then they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!”
and to the hills, “Fall on us!”

And Revelation 6: 15-17

Revelation 6:15-17

New International Version (NIV)

15 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us[a] from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”

_______________________________________________
“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.”

This attitude of entitlement is why we have such a parent-centric tax system and social safety net. If you don't have kids you are merely a wallet from which to drain subsidies and a body in the workplace to cover for them when they take shitloads of time off on child-related shit. Yet when a childless person becomes unemployed and destitute there is none of the generous assistance we give to idiots who whelp spawn they have no ability to support. Why should there be? Only parents and kids matter.

You would be surprised just how antinatalist the bible really is. As soon as I saw that quote I added it to my CF arsenal. I consider myself a parent to the happiest child in the world.. The one without life. So I figured that that type of thinking would light a fire under MOOmy ass.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So.. We know that food and water are running out, with overpopulation and all... Yet people keep on poppin' out those babies! I guess they want to have their baby and eat it too...
