Forever moo's property III: adult children get tattoos and piercings

You can’t,” I tell them. “I made you. I spent nine months getting fat and being sick to create your smooth, flawless skin.”

The feelings that you have toward your children are possessive and inappropriate. When you create a child, you create an independent person whose feelings and desires will not be identical to your own. Giving birth to someone does not make that person obligated to cater to your preferences; it incurs an obligation on your part but none on the side of the child, who "never asked to be born," in the words of many an adolescent. Your children are adults and are entitled to make their own choices.

You may have read heartbreaking stories by mothers who are estranged from their adult children. It is rarely the simple case of ungrateful child and the mother as a victim. Generally, it follows years of these mothers controlling their children and refusing to treat them as adults. You would do well to remember this, as your manipulative behavior - as evidenced by your attempt at guilt-tripping by reminding them of your voluntary sacrifice of pregnancy - may cause your children to distance themselves from you for their own psychological health.

There is also a disturbing lack of a sense of proportion in your writing. Your extreme reaction to a minor personal choice leaves you ill-equipped to deal with the more serious events in life, such as one of your children facing a life-threatening condition, the death of a parent, or the permanent disability of your partner. This histrionic display demonstrates your distinct lack of coping skills and I would advise you to seek professional help.

I'm pretty convinced this generation of moos don't even believe their kids are actual separate human beings.

Can we have that printed up and put on a billboard? Obviously a LOT of people need to see it.
