This is why we call some of them breeders

Just saw a comment on reddit describing a child having the audacity to be born and subsequently growing up as "using the parent's resources." As if the kid had a choice in being born or the fact that she needed to eat or have clothing or shelter. If you see raising a child you chose to raise as transactional, then how are you any different from someone who breeds livestock for money? You're a breeder and I'll see you as one, simple as that. We need to get past this idea that children "owe" their parents just for having and raising them.

It's amusing how that whole thing works where a child is forced into existence with no input on the matter whatsoever, yet the parents are shocked when that child requires time, money, and effort to raise. These are the parents who will tell their kids that their Christmas gift is "being allowed to live under my roof and eat my food." Umm no, that's not a gift, that's the bare minimum expectation for the child YOU created.

Of course children use their parents' resources - they don't have their own resources! It's astounding that grown men and women are surprised when they learn that kids require WORK and need caring for. I think some people honestly believe that when they have a kid, they just have to look at it once a week like a houseplant and it's somehow self-supporting in the meantime.

And I'm sure it's a real joy to grow up with parents like this who are keeping score as far as what they are "owed" for the kid's whole life. They are the ones who will say shit like, "...and after EVERYTHING I've done for you!" when the kid does something they don't like. As if food, clothing and shelther is a guarantee of good behavior.

Breeders just act like the stork dropped the kid off with no input from them and they chose to keep it. And they wonder why we call them breeders. They are fucking and shitting out kids with no real thought behind it just like cows and goats.

"I have found little that is 'good' about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash, no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all."

I thnk part of it is the teaching that life is a gift.. I struggle with that one; for many now that is not how it appears.. I do not claim to have an answer. I'm glad I'm alive but I dont' care for the end of it.

CERTIFIED HOSEHEAD!!!

No one is more arrogant towards women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious (insecure..my word) about his virility. Simone de Beauvoir

people (especially women) do not give ONE DAMN about what they inflict on children and I defy anyone to prove me wrong

Dysfunctional relationships almost always have a child. The more dysfunctional, the more children. The selfish wants of adults outweigh the needs of the child.

Some mistakes cannot be fixed, but some mistakes can be 'fixed'.

Adoption agencies have strict criteria (usually). Breeders, whose combined IQ's would barely hit triple digits, have none.
