I'd be more impressed if you took care of all your kids instead of having your kids parent them. |
And? I am responding to the person quoted. |
Great. Maybe you should report this whole thread for child-ism. It’s exactly the same thing |
+100. It is. Why is someone who doesn’t think it is appropriate for kids to be in grocery stores, sports practice, weddings, and music class posting this on a parenting forum? Children are not abhorrent. Your ideas about children are abhorrent. |
And this is why there are so many posts about having no friends. Do this too many times and people stop inviting you altogether. And then your kids leave you and you’re with your husband and nothing to talk about now that the kids are gone. The choices you make come back to you in time… |
Right, so you can barely afford your children. That’s what this post is all about. Thanks for illustrating it so succinctly. |
Not really. Kids grow out of being kids. The elderly don’t grow out of being elderly—they just become more and more elderly. Until they die. |
No one gets a babysitter to go to Costco. You are delusional. Your views are also delusional. |
Op sounds like someone that wanted 3 kids but couldn’t have them. No one is bother by big families like Op is.
- mom of one (by choice) |
Or just have different priorities… |
I agree with this. I have two kids and OP sounds very triggered. |
3 kid parent here who can afford babysitting, has family locally, and now has one kid old enough to watch her siblings on occasion for short periods. Why in the world would it be a problem if I bring my kids to music class and have them play quietly in the waiting area? Same with sports and other classes. If one of my kids is doing a kid thing, the other kids are probably going to be along. They play together or I entertain them or they read. So? Adult gatherings and weddings I get the issue, but some the things you are expecting people not to bring their kids along for are insane. |
OP, if you don't want kids at your event, then don't invite them, problem solved. For other spaces, mind your own business and stop being such a misanthrope. Kids probably don't like you there either, given how much you seem to dislike them. The problem is completely symmetrical. |
No, we all have priorities. So while you demand aid for college all that money we saved will go to college. I don’t need someone to care for mine. |
If you go around with a gypsy tribe that’s loud, obnoxious and takes up most of the space it’s not appropriate to create a nuisance in public. It’s always the case that the parents of big families completely check out. They don’t have energy to get their kids to behave and adopt “kids will be kids” attitude when creating a nuisance for everyone else. |
