i come here to vent my anger, coz i know if i didnt have a few places to get my anger out, then that would affect everyone..
this is a dedicated site, to childfree, some of us hate kids, some dont mind them but wouldnt want any of their own.. as its says this is a place to let of steam..
that being said.. as a parent the phrase is condesending to say the least, being a parent doesnt give u a greater understand of life, the universe and everything, all it does is gives u greater understanding of having your own kid.. but most parents are in the words of heinlein
"Delusions are often functional. A mother's opinions about her children's beauty, intelligence, goodness, et cetera ad nauseam, keep her from drowning them at birth." its like oh my neighbour a mr dahmer was a such a nice person, he could do no wrong.. being a parent doesnt make you god, doesnt make you an authority on life. all it does is make u boring, and makes u exist without a life..
so ok come here, but dont use the phrase as a parent.. its insulting and stupid.
btw board i think we should have a phrase as our our, like as a non parent.. we have A LIFE
