I don't get Moos who get mad at their spouses for not giving them Mother's Day gifts. Why would a man give his wife a gift for Mother's Day? She's not his mother (not usually, but there may be exceptions around the deep South), unless he's a lazy man-baby and his Moo-wife does everything for him but wipe his ass, in which case maybe it's justified. Isn't Mother's Day to celebrate your own mother, or mother-in-law if there's a good relationship with her? And the times their spouses do get them gifts, they often complain that they don't like it.
So instead of setting themselves up for disappointment, why don't they do a "treat yo'self" day? Go out alone (since they always want to escape their husbands and brats), go shopping, get themselves something they like, go to a spa or a nail salon or whatever, or sit in the park and read quietly. Whatever makes a day special for them, go do it alone. They have no room to bitch when they know their family won't do shit for them and that winds up being the case yet again. That thing about the definition of insanity comes to mind. The only time people celebrate you at your job is when you do it exceptionally well, and since mooing is a "job," that means either the Moo herself is a shitty mother or she just married a shitty person and had shitty kids with them. Or all three.
And they all think they're gonna get revenge on their spouses next month on Father's Day by not doing anything special for them, but the joke's on the Moos because the Duhs have enough brain cells to make their own fun. They'll go out for the weekend or go get beers with the guys or buy themselves a new thingamabob they wanted and if they don't see, speak to or hear the rest of the household all day long, they don't give a fuck. Why can't they just go, "Fuck you and fuck these kids, I'm gonna get my hair done, go to a movie and get some goddamn tiramisu?"

A man would give his wife a gift if the kids are too young. Baybees and toadlers don't know about Mother's Day, can't appreciate what their mothers did, and can't give a gift. It makes perfect sense for the man to give his wife a gift in this case because they also require more cunt work than older kyds. That being said, a "treat yo'self" day is better if she's so unhappy with what her spouse gives her.

Many of them seem to want to spend the day pretending they don't have kids. We do that every day, but it isn't pretend.
Yeah I always found that amusing that the day on which they want to be celebrated for being mothers is a day on which they also don't want to be around their kids. If it wasn't for the kids, they wouldn't be celebrating Mother's Day. Though I'm sure, given the option of never having kids in the first place or being let down yet again for their holiday, most mommies would pick the former. I love that CFers have the ideal Mother's Day every day of the year because we specifically choose to not breed. Ain't that a bitch?
Well this is nightmare fuel, especially with abortion quite possibly no longer being a viable option. Tubals have failure rates, according to this thread. Apparently it's a 1/200 chance of failure for a standard tubal and a 1/2000 chance for one involving tube removal. I mean if you look at those figures in percentages, that's like 0.5% and 0.05%, but I know for CF people, those odds may still be too damn high.
I also know abdominal pregnancies are a thing, though rare. Sometimes you can get your uterus and tubes removed, but if a sperm and egg somehow still manage to unite in the abdominal cavity, the fertilized egg can latch onto nearby organs and grow. Normally these kinds of pregnancies are considered non-viable and are terminated, but with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, women may be forced to carry them to term if they happen now.

I’m freaking out. Amidst everything going on I’m even more freaked out.
Had a tubal ligation done a little over a year ago after having my c-section. Husband and I thought it would be nearly impossible to get pregnant again so we haven’t taken any precautions. Before the procedure of the tubal my doctor even stated, “no more babies, right?”. So I figured pregnancy would never again be a worry.
Now I’m reading it’s possible. Has anyone first hand dealt with that? I’m a few days late and feeling off.. I’ve kind of blown it off as allergies and stress with a teething baby and grumpy 8 year old but now I’m second guessing. Had I known it wasn’t 100% I would’ve had my tubes completely removed. Shit.
I have known two men who had vasectomies and their tubes grew back together. Their wives turned up pregnant after like 10 years. In both cases, they kept the kids.
I also know someone who got pregnant while using an IUD. Same situation--she and her husband kept the kid.
I am here supposedly because the rubber broke. My mom was also on her period. At least I grew up with reliable birth control information, such as: it's possible to get pregnant while you are on your period. I always had an alternating cycle, 17 days long one month and 21 days long the next month. So did my mother, which can mean ovulation around day 7 or earlier. It also means more chances to get pregnant. Although endometriosis was a curse, it probably saved me a few times, although I never missed a Pill and I used my diaphragm according to instructions.
* Doctors used to be real condescending and tell me that I must be mistaken. They ASSumed I was mis-counting. I was like, no, day one is the first day of the period and I'd be having another one on Day 17, or Day 21.
Needless to say, 30+ years of that shit got really old, really fast. If I could have cut it out myself at age 16, I would have. Too bad I had to go through all that misery.
I also regarded fertility as a burden and I had physical problems as well, which doctors never took seriously.

Moo hates the phrase "it takes a village" because she has nobody to help her with the brat she chose to make. She gets super bitter when she hears other people talk about their support network of family and friends who help them with their sproggen. Because as we all know, when someone has a kid, everyone else is expected to put their lives on hold to help the parents raise it (reminds me of the kalamata olives lady who demanded her friends sign up for baby shifts). So does this mean that breeders will throw the "must be nice" line at their own kind?
The best part of this shit sundae? The dumb fucking bint is knocked up again knowing full wellnobody helps her with her current brat. WHY? Why do these women foam at the mouth about how nobody they know lifts a finger to deal with a resposibility that isn't theirs and then they go and breed again when they can't handle the first one??
The line about not being able to afford a professional child wrangler implies that she would expect family and friends to watch her brat without any form of compensation, which might be why none of them want to fucking help her. Where's Duh? Can't he relieve her and, you know, watch the kid whose existence is 50% his fault? Why didn't she think about a potential support network before sluicing? Or did she behave in typical Moo-brained fashion and assume she'd have a perfect loaf that could be raised on wuv alone?
